In the the family room photo, any idea why the ceiling joists are a little different, in that it has a gap with no noggins(?) on the left side, and the diagonal piece in the right hand corner?

Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ No sorry I have no idea why its like this. I'd noticed this a few weeks ago, and since it was still a works in progress I'd figured more work may occur.. These are the type of things a novice like myself can easily miss! I did notice that the timber used for one of those noggins was a bit ordinary, but apparently council frame inspections are pretty thorough and will identify any issues (well fingers crossed!)

With stuff like this you'd feel like you were belittling them if you were to say hey before you remove the scaffolding how about peeling off the protective shielding off the glass hey? You'd think since this wouldn't be their first build they would have across this before... Can they get a cherry picker in to do it?

Hardest bit is above the garage and they just poured the driveway so no one going on there for at least two weeks with a cherry picker. It is a joke. You really have to micro manage. Re: Rawson Balmoral 38 MK1 - Newcastle NSW 19Aug 19, 2019 9:41 am Week 12 A bit more of the ground floor brickwork was done last week, and we have all the scaffolding delivered. By the end of the week ground floor brickwork should be done, hopefully scaffolding is erected by the end of the week to start on 1st floor brickwork etc Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Rawson Balmoral 38 MK1 - Newcastle NSW 20Aug 27, 2019 10:10 am Week 13 We had more brickwork done, and the scaffolding went on, so hopefully within the next few weeks or so we'll have brickwork completed and a roof on!
