So sorry to hear about your problems with the build at the moment... It must be very frustrating on your part as it's nearing handover date... I could feel your pain... we are at the same stage now and I would feel the same if it happens to us. Hoping that everything gets settled and you get your house on time and with the quality that you deserve. We're all here for you! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built the Nevada 42 Next project - landscaping! Re: BUILDING update 473Aug 19, 2008 11:00 pm Yes a few turned up for small jobs and left.
We are communicating with the SS and Builder and thats a good thing. Thursday should bring some extra hands on deck with some new contractors. Hopefully. They need to fix the balcony upstairs urgently, as the guy who put in the s/s rail smashed all the newly laid tiles, drilled through the waterproofing and damaged the render. Weather forecast is hail for SA on Thursday so if they don't get the tiles laid we will have water in our bedroom . It's one thing after another. If I went into detail with all the problems I'd send you to sleep . At least they moved the manhole and installed the double shower. I'll feel a lot better when I see the benchtops!

Oh Dy, i hope it all works out and you're in as soon as possible.... We're all thinking of you and hoping it will improve......stay strong....

Re: BUILDING update 476Aug 20, 2008 10:58 pm Dont tempt me .
Benchtops have been delayed -what a SURPRISE ... Not due now until Monday (kitchen) Wednesday (bathrooms). That means the sinks and electrical won't be done until after then. Floors are now on hold for sanding/polishing. DH reckons we will be aiming for a handover by December 2020 . Harsh words were exchanged today betw SS and I ... something to the effect of "i wash my hands of the build" <my words eek> . Should I focus on the glass is half empty or half full story? Any way you look at it ... the house is empty and half finished. so what is working out ... well the design is good and the walls and floors are straight . And the tradies and subbies ... yeah well not much happening on that front! Where's the scotch (oh yeah I tried that and woke in the morning to a headache AND a half finished build)! Re: BUILDING update 479Aug 21, 2008 8:34 am Dee elle I hope it all gets sorted soon. Can't believe the guy managed to smash the tiles and do so much damage to the balcony. what a dill! ( to put it nicely)
Fingers crossed today brings some good news for a change for you. Re: BUILDING update 480Aug 21, 2008 8:45 am What a shame that as this stage of the built it's falling apart. So sorry to hear of the troubles you are having especially with your SS. Hope they get their act together quickly for you.
