Hi Tash, ...... its been rendered and painted............. final coat and touch ups either today or next week. Tiles delivered today so I suppose that is a clear indication that wet area tiling will soon commence. Meeting with my SS went very well yesterday. He is of solid character and is pretty switched on. Re: Coral Homes Daydream 28 Far North Coast NSW 134Feb 01, 2019 2:56 pm That’s great to hear about the ss and the painting. Ours still hasn’t started and our tiles have been sitting in our garage for 2 weeks. So frustrating when there’s been 2 weeks of no work! Re: Coral Homes Daydream 28 Far North Coast NSW 135Feb 01, 2019 3:13 pm I know the final phase moves more slowly than the first 8 to 10 weeks. You want the finishes to move more slowly as they will then be completed with more care........ but two weeks of nothing would be frustrating. Painters and tilers are some of the more difficult trades to get hold of locally and this may be why not much has happened. Re: Coral Homes Daydream 28 Far North Coast NSW 136Feb 09, 2019 12:51 pm End of week 13 (16 weeks since building commenced). I have been a bit slack with posting up dates but that is because not much has been happening. The painters completed (sort of) painting last week (week 12) but nothing has happened this week other than bathroom tiles being delivered. Wet area tiling is scheduled for next week as well as moving the island bench 100 mm to mitigate the narrow passageway issue (see above). I don't want to waste time arguing with Coral so I have agreed to pay to get it fixed even though the mistake was made by Coral's draftsperson. Coral have at least acknowledged responsibility and so will not be adding admin fees, variation fees or builder's margin. External painting almost complete (quite a few touch ups and another coat on the garage render required) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Coral Homes Daydream 28 Far North Coast NSW 138Feb 17, 2019 1:10 pm Tash801 Did tiles get done last week brad? We have tiles hopefully starting tomorrow Hi Tash. Last week was week 14 (17 weeks since commencement). The tiling commenced. Our kitchen and laundry subway splashbacks are looking good and our wet area floor tiles are down (but not grouted yet). The kitchen island bench was moved to mitigate the narrow passageway issue. It is amazing how much difference 100 mm can make. In the coming week the tiling should be completed and fit out should get underway. The electrician is scheduled for Friday to start fitting lights, GPOs, etc. Our SS has indicated a PC date of 15th March. It would be awesome if PC is on that date but I'm not going to hold my breath just in case. Hope all is going well on your build. Brad Re: Coral Homes Daydream 28 Far North Coast NSW 139Feb 18, 2019 7:56 am That’s good to hear it’s going well. Our painting has just finished and tiles is supposed to start today. Drove past and no one there. Not surprising considering they told us for 3 weeks straight painting would start the next Monday. Really hope that’s not the case though. They longer they drag it out the more it’s costing us in rent and other bills 😢 did you have des Nelson painting? Just trying to work out if we have the same trades Re: Coral Homes Daydream 28 Far North Coast NSW 140Feb 18, 2019 8:04 am Not sure who the painter was. Their car didn't have any advertising on it but it had Qld number plates. The two guys that did the work were of Indian ancestry; one wore a fluro orange turban and the other wore a bright blue turban.
