House was goin great guns as far as roofing, bricks etc. Had our council inspection and was told by our customer service rep that all was fine. Found that hard to believe when the brick ties aren't attached to the framework.. Why would council pass a house that isn't structurally sound??? Turns out, on Tuesday when insulation was re-scheduled from last week, we find out the house did in fact fail inspection and issues are to be addressed and re-inspected before we can carry on. Told that this will all happen this week and insulation will be next Tuesday... Tomorrow is Thursday.. How will these issues be resolved and council re-inspect, insulation be delivered and started all in 3 days???? We are in week 20 and not happy!!!!!!! Wish there was more we could do!!! House has sat in gorgeous sunny, house building weather for 2 weeks with not a sole on site, where is the customer service? We are all paying clients being treated like idiots!! Ok rant over. Nay, ur place looks great, glad you have had such great progress and such good trades! Great news marknbet, can't wait to see pics! Wish we were still neck and neck wit u guys Our blog: http://durhamsadventure.blogspot.com Re: Who is building with Beechwood 1212Sep 14, 2011 9:50 pm Found out today that apparently we have a new site supervisor, I think its good, as she said that it means they get more time at each site... oh well! Natandash. that sucks! I have no idea what brick ties are though... Hope it gets sorted quick smart!

Can i ask, where did you put the towel rail in your ensuite? we have no walls to put one on..... Amanda Towel rails do not fit.......we put in towel rings on each side of the vanity. Found Picture on page 5 of this post,will show you. It was the man at Westside ceramics that told me we had to have rings as the rails won't fit. Your house is looking awesome.......make sure you check all of the sliding doors at the back and the windows. Anna.......your house is looking fab also....hopefully you will all be in soon. Make sure you all check all the door stops...even though this is a little thing they make a big mess if they come off and hit the wall. Ours were only tacked on and fell off. I wish you all good luck......there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Is it that flat horrible paint? The stuff as when you go to clean a wall, it leaves horrible wipe marks? We are 3 days into our 28 days. Our final construction plan had a mistake. They drew only ONE water tank instead of TWO which we have paid for and need for fire. Never in my years of building has the final, final plan ever been wrong until now. Everyone's houses are looking fab. Natandash-You are the 2nd person on here who has failed an inspection. I suppose BW are only as good as their tradesmen. Jacknruby-I absolutely love your house. All your colours have come together so well.

So so exciting, I already have my letter drafted for PR in sydney. so we will see what comes of that. Im not expecting much. The painters have finished and the other day i whilst there when they were so i had a look around. Its perfect - the colour is exactly what we were after. I soft soft grey. it will blend in so well. We chose our carpet too. we chose a dark charcoal colour. The downpipes are on, the plumber is back on Monday fitting the fittings, and toilets, Tuesday the carpenter is there fitting the handles, doors, etc. The electrician is there then also, so its all looking good. pity it will be 7 weeks over our contract date.

The whole thing is just so depressing, I cheer myself up by reading about everybody's progress & can only imagine what it will feel like when it's finally our turn. But like Moon River said, hopefully there will be a light at the end of a long tunnel. Please everyone, wish us luck.
