Re: JG King modified Heywood - Handover! 1416Dec 20, 2017 9:02 am We're going to stay at the new house today and try and get things a bit more sorted then we'll go back and finish cleaning the rental tomorrow. So far, despite the mess everywhere (this is starting to do my head in) and the teething problems, I'm loving it . We have no air con yet, but even with 2 hot days (38 yesterday) the house has stayed remarkably cool! We have come from a Victorian cottage so not much to compare to, but there is a lot to be said to correct orientation, appropriate eaves and cross flow ventilation! Probably need to get the aircon sorted before a big heat wave though! Surely it would eventually heat up! https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?share_ ... are_type=t Re: JG King modified Heywood - Handover! 1417Dec 20, 2017 9:29 am bank aloenyx Eee! Your Chrissy tree is huge! And very lovely. So excited your in before Christmas. What did the defect list end up looking like? Did they fix everything you asked them to? I think everything except the capping on the front has or is being addressed. They were still saying that the CM was talking to the roofing plumbers at PCI but we knew it wasn't going to go anywhere. We're at peace with it, we agreed with our inspector to just put it on his report so that there was a record that they were told about it in case of any issues in the future. There we a bunch of minor things at handover outstanding and amazingly they are getting ticked off!! Done so far are: cleaning, dishwasher, scratches on kitchen window, surge protection, removing the retaining wall has started but not yet finished. Still to come are: driveway sealing, paint touch ups on facade, finishing the retaining wall, loose step from garage. Issues we have found since handover are: one door lock has the wrong barrel, the tile that was replaced to do the new bath has the wrong grey grout, one ensuite tap is sitting on a funny angle, rangehood is making a flappy sound, dishwasher sticks out because of the power conduit behind (should have been in the void or the plumber said the kicker would have also worked), and Monday night with 6 people showering and using the toilet the sewer backed up ! It's been ok since but obviously there is a blockage somewhere despite our pipes supposedly being camera-ed during construction. And the kitchen cupboards (mostly latches on overheads) still need adjusting. I did have one final dig about the capping when our SS handed over the compliance certificate for the roof plumbing "what for our non compliant "box gutter"? ". I said with a laugh and he nervously laughed back https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?share_ ... are_type=t Re: JG King modified Heywood - Handover! 1418Dec 20, 2017 3:02 pm Nico What is the deal with the surge protector is that a standard or something you asked for? Something we asked for. I asked for surge protected power points for my office and the electrical girl suggested we just put in on the whole house at the meter box. From memory it was less than $200. But when it came to it none of our supervisors had ever heard of it and it took me repeated attempts to convince them that what we paid for wasn't there. Apparently it was right on the bottom of the purchase order so the electricians missed it . I know it had been on the list of stuff they missed a couple of times so not sure why it took until late handover day for it to be done. https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?share_ ... are_type=t Re: JG King modified Heywood - Handover! 1419Dec 20, 2017 8:39 pm Sounds like your very happy Glad to hear they are getting to issues quickly. We need some photos!!! I want to ooh and ahh and be totally jealous Aww, your poor bun buns. It does take all the pets sometime to settle, but they'll be right. When does landscaping start?

I want to ooh and ahh and be totally jealous Aww, your poor bun buns. It does take all the pets sometime to settle, but they'll be right. When does landscaping start? They would only be photos of absolute chaos! We made a fair bit of progress today (we're actually sleeping with proper linen tonight instead of sleeping bags ) but there is a seemingly endless amount of things to get done. Several things are still missing such as the iron and the ear thermometer! How about first use of my ovens! Bit sad, but the door was so clean and clear I had to take a photo Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Oh and hubby dug a hole for the temp letterbox!
