Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Rawson Balmoral 38 MK1 - Newcastle NSW 112Apr 14, 2020 11:36 am The floor boards look great.. thats a huge area! Pity the S/S isn't on top of the shower area and that it has to get redone. I wonder if they'd pick up the error on their own. Not good news about the aircon, I think they place orders just before it's needed, so don't know knw whats going to happen with out of stock items. I guess they can't give occupancy without it?

Hmm yeah I'll invest in a roborock I reckon, the wife doesn't like mopping floors much Not the end of the world, but you'd think they'd get it right the 2nd time, like all S/S I guess they're stretched over a lot of builds all at once instructions to trades not clear enough and probably just done over the phone instead of in person looking at the job? I do sympathise with our S/S but yeah.. Yeah it's a tricky scenario, as I wouldn't expect they'd let us move in until final invoice is paid, and I'm definitely not paying that without an A/C installed! Re: Rawson Balmoral 38 MK1 - Newcastle NSW 114Apr 14, 2020 5:36 pm Looks great mate. We have been told all warranty stuff is on hold which is fair enough. Can I advice. Check measure niches, ours are 50mm out height wise. And mirror height. Ours are too low by 20mm and another guy I know currently building, his mirrors are low.

Hey mate was wondering how your build was going now you've been in t here for a while? Ahh bit of a shame really TBH, as builders contractors are still working but I guess it puts them at risk? Ahh cool I havent done that yet TBH, being quite tall I definately dont want them too low but hadnt noticed them being overly low. Re: Rawson Balmoral 38 MK1 - Newcastle NSW 116Apr 20, 2020 9:14 pm Week 46: We got our carpet in and alfresco and portico tiles done. The shower screen was installed and replumbing for the shower head. Having carpet down finally has the build looking like a house! We're really happy with how it turned out, worth paying extra for them both as the visual impact is stunning in my view.

We have very similar tiles, vanities and tops in the bathroom. Interesting I see you have stegbar windows. We were told they weren’t using them anymore, which brings me to another point. You won’t have the same issue as your block is flat but, they should have taken that blue stuff of the windows before the scaffolding was removed. They didn’t take ours off and then we’re stuck and couldn’t get the upper floors off as they were very high. As they punted stegbar the other window company refused to do it as it wasn’t there problem.

Our build started in May 2019, I noticed our neighbour two doors down by memory didnt have stegbar (they started 2 months or so after us by memory) Yeah I told S/S about this months ago, and even again recently just said they'll use ladder to get it off and cleaners will do it when they wash windows etc So hopefully they bloody do it!
