Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 11397Jul 02, 2018 8:58 pm Jenifermarie In the chaos of this week I forgot to post an update here. We had an inspection this week to check all our rough ins for electrical and AC. It was really nice just to meet our SS to be honest. We picked up a few power points in the wrong spot which have been fixed up since. The electrician only had a print out of the electrical plan so some of the measurements of above/inside vanity for the bathrooms weren’t readable unlike on the electronic PDF. Everything on site is looking good although I failed to get many interesting photos because I was too busy trying to document where all my wires were running! Our lower roof is in at the back, although we’re still missing the garage part of the lower roof. Kitchen bulkheads have also gone in Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ And our stacker doors are in place...lockup is coming! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ We had an inspector go through too and he picked up a few minor issues with straightening a wall, fixing a pipe and a couple of floor trusses that needed extra fixing to the frame. Pretty minor stuff. Our SS sent over some update photos today to show the remediation work...so happy to see all that soundscreen insulation!

Building Wisdom Aspiration 31 at Willowdale https://ourwillowdalehome.wordpress.com/ Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 11398Jul 02, 2018 9:20 pm psur2357 Hi guys we upgraded the standard carpet areas to timber and found that at areas where timber meets tiles or timber meets stair carpet the floorer installed a silver coloured trimming pieces. We dont like this colour and I believe that they can get trimming pieces similar colour to the timber. Certainly bunnings offer a few colour options. Anyone got any experience in this? see photos below. thank you. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I enquired about getting a better colour to match our floorboards but Di Lorenzo said silver was the closet match. I have found a store than can order us in a matching colour but we'll have to change it ourselves. I think it's been glued down so it might be a bit of a challenge to change.

If we want downlight provisions and outdoor flood light provisions, what exactly do they do and what will we need to purchase on our end? We will probably get WH to install some of our lighting but not all of it. And what is the consensus about downlights in bedrooms? We just plugged them all in on the weekend & they are perfect! SO easy to do... Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 11400Jul 02, 2018 10:55 pm doosra Chinoandbebe GLO [quote="Chinoandbebe"][quote="GLO"]Congrats! What did you build an when did your slab go down? Awesome, so it only took 8 months to build! [/quote]That sucks. What's ur overall impression on the build and anything that we should look out for that they need to fix for urs? [/quote]Overall impression hmm...that's a hard one. We've definitely had our ups & downs. Knebel Kitchens have been amazing! We had an issue with some Scotia accidently being installed around our island bench & cupboards, but Knebel got it sorted quickly & kept me informed when replacing all the kickboards & back panel. They did a great job fixing it too. I'm very happy with how our kitchen turned out! It's ashame that some tradies just don't seem to care, which is disappointing & a let down. Some seem to lack common sense too. I would definitely suggest getting a Building Inspector, it's well worth it in my opinion. I used Jim's Building Inspector. My guy was very thorough. Try & have regular walk throughs with your SS, & know your plans & upgrades. That way you can pick up on anything that looks wrong or is missing before it becomes a real issue. Take lots of photos of your build during the different stages. You will use them as reference. Good luck! Can someone please offer some advice? Im DESPERATE.
