Yeah I will, I might even threaten them with our 8 year old daughter, she doesn't shut up for a second, if we see them doing a crap job, I’ll leave her there to ‘keep them company’

Please help, Boral Blackheath - UPDATE 3 - Now we wait 54Aug 20, 2010 8:43 am Thanks all for your comments, yes I did ring the state manager back yesterday, I started by saying that the render option was not at all attractive to us because, 1, we don’t like render, and 2, we hate evaporative cooling. He then said they can compensate us with something else, to which I said, no, we want the bricks fixed, however... I then explained that we are very worried about getting the bricks redone and the end result still being crap, he assured us that whoever does the job will be over supervised to make sure it is done properly. He went on to say that PD are very disappointed with the way our house looks at the moment and by no means is it in any way acceptable and they want it fixed as much as us. About 10 minutes later our rep rang me to say that he is going to get the bricks ripped down asap and the new bricks done and he will do everything he can to get us in on time. He also said well done to us for sticking to our guns. I also spoke to him about our concerns about the end result and he told me that he has to give the first company the opportunity to fix their f*#% up and that he has rung the company once and is waiting on a phone call from them, he said that he is praying he doesn’t get the call because if this company does not return the call by the time the bricks are ready to start, he is going to book someone else, this someone else is a guy we have requested, we saw a job he did using Blackheath and I have to say, it is the neatest job I have ever seen, it was perfect. Our rep knows which house we saw (it’s one of his), so I told him that I want our house to look the same. Here’s hoping it does.

Well done on sticking to your guns, hopefully that pays off for you. We are so happy with how our Blackheath bricks look, as I am sure you will be once yours are done properly.

He also told me that he is going to book the guy we requested to do the job because he does not want to chance another bad job, it's not definite yet but we have everything crossed Current status: Busy making the house our home Built PD Francis 29 on our 576m2 block at Reflections in Tarneit Reflections Estate Thread Our Build Thread Re: Please help, Boral Blackheath - UPDATE 3 - Now we wait 58Aug 21, 2010 11:01 pm Well done Wiz...you will be so much happier for not folding to their "cheaper" option.
