We are going to do a wood look concrete sleeper retaining wall on each side. We have had a couple of not so good days the last couple of days. The site supervisor called the hstp guy and told him to put the batter back for safety. Which is understandable but it would have been nice to get a call before they did it to make sure I wasn’t planning to do the retaining wall this weekend or anything. All it’s really done is mess it up for us doing the retaining wall and doesn’t seem any safer at all. Then we got a call to come out to site because there is a problem with the window in our butlers pantry.

The site supervisor said that it couldn’t be moved but after speaking with the builder they are going to take down the cladding and plaster and move the window over. It sounds like it will be allot of work and will take them two days but it will be 7-10 days before there’s carpenters available to do it. They won’t be able to centre the window in the room though they can just move it clear of the cabinetry. I’ve also now noticed that our window in the laundry isn’t centred.

But it was told to them what we were having and there was a note on the plan of a ‘future wall oven’ in that position. Ovens are 600 and the window is 580 from the wall before the architrave is on. I sometimes get a bit bogged down in who’s ‘fault’ something is because I hate to be wrong. So I’m trying not to do that and just move on with what can be done. I do think the difference between a good and not so great builder is not that no mistakes get made but how mistakes are dealt with and rectified.

Hopefully it doesn't slow progress down for you too much in the meantime. Otherwise your cabinetry is looking awesome!! Love all your colour choices. What an absolute pain the builder made your hstp guy put the batter back!! Definitely some communication there wouldn't have gone astray.

There is a house across from us that faces another street frontage but is actually classed as number 1 of our street and they just handed over yesterday. So we think that they have picked up our loo instead of theirs 🤣 Hi All, we are starting to think of building with Masterpiece Builders in Victoria, has anyone had any feedback or experience with them 0 13822 1 8897 So it looks like we finally have some movement on site! Definitely later than expected, but I'll take any progress at this point. I'll drop by over the weekend to get… 5 29242 |
