Can’t see that the last things have been done yet 🙁. But they really shouldn’t take too long. We were there yesterday doing the nature strips and noticed some roof tiles had been delivered. Hmmmm Re: KDR - SE Melb - Simonds Flinders - PCI Done 612Apr 19, 2018 8:57 am We will have the same problem with two dogs, mud and needing grass and fences asap. Its already got me twitchy and the build hasnt started yet. Re: KDR - SE Melb - Simonds Flinders - PCI Done 613Apr 19, 2018 9:00 am Bri1234 Yeah I’m not looking forward to it.

We were there yesterday doing the nature strips and noticed some roof tiles had been delivered. Hmmmm I would assume that the roof is already completed? Haha strange..... Shouldn't take too long I would think. Ours (paint and touch ups) took about 4 working days.

Hmmmm I would assume that the roof is already completed? Haha strange..... Shouldn't tke too long I would think. Ours (paint and touch ups) took about 4 working days. There are 2 roof tiles that are slightly up so I'm assuming they are to fix there. I also noticed that one side of the gable looks wrong. Will take a photo later on to show. Just got a call from SS. Apparently he went past last night and unlocked the front door for the bank valuation this morning. Valuer has turned up and the door is locked. Wasn't me so now I'm wondering who has been in. A nuisance though because he has to try and meet the valuer later today to let them in. Still no gas line. This is my biggest stress at the moment.

Hopefully he can get back there later today to let them in..... Still no gas line? Goodness me, they are seriously hopeless!! Re: KDR - SE Melb - Simonds Flinders - PCI Done 617Apr 19, 2018 5:57 pm After the valuer being locked out this morning I wasn't taking any chances this afternoon.
SS called to let me know he was going to unlock the front door on his way home and another valuer would drop in on her way home. Dropped the kids home front school and went and waited up at the house, lol. Waited an hour, she arrived and took 2 minutes, lol. But it's done so that's the main thing. She was going to email the report to the bank straight away. While there I had more time to wander around on my own. Found where a small piece of skirting was missing under the kitchen bench and some water under the laundry sink. Will call SS tomorrow morning. Still no gas line........ oh and I think it was a plasterer who locked the door, lol Re: KDR - SE Melb - Simonds Flinders - PCI Done 618Apr 19, 2018 7:11 pm Mud - dogs - mysteries locking of doors - still no gas line. I've been away from Homeone for a few days, so catching up and your thread, has made me laugh today - Thank You. You're really on the home stretch, with the valuer coming through, do you have a date as yet for settlement or anything to keep you sane? I can't get over how long it's taking for the gas line. I have a suspicion that mine was only requested Monday a week ago after the house had it's first clean. Look on the bright side of things - at least you can pick up your doggies and give them a quick rinse in the laundry sink - lol Re: KDR - SE Melb - Simonds Flinders - PCI Done 619Apr 19, 2018 9:07 pm Rachael13 Mud - dogs - mysteries locking of doors - still no gas line.

I'm going to email CRC tomorrow morning and ask about a settlement date. SS said the painters will be there Monday so I'm assuming settlement will have to be later in the week. I hope you don't have the same meter issue's we're having. It's frustrating because we can't book the driveway until the meter is in either. Lol very true. We purposely left the spray hose nozzle thingy tap in the laundry for doggy baths. Re: KDR - SE Melb - Simonds Flinders - PCI Done 620Apr 20, 2018 1:14 pm Waiting to hear from SS about a time for Monday to meet and sign off on PCI. All being well with that we have settlement Tuesday. We were lucky in that our old house was so small (86 square metres) compared to the new house, they were able to take enough readings around the old backyard house before… 8 38511 The biggest challenge will be if you take out a loan and then run out of money - you'll have an incomplete security and lenders do not like this so you can get stuck.… 2 19867 Hi, I am looking into doing a KDR in Melbourne and am contemplating using Kialla Homes. I am looking for feedback on them from others who have built with them. 0 14137 |
