Re: Jessica SA is absolutely FURIOUS!!!!! 510Oct 07, 2010 9:46 pm Hi Darryl, We are writing to you in regards to our practical completion date. Our initial date provided was the 20th September 2010, and we were understanding that this could not be met due to us installing our stone bench tops. We were told in the final selections meeting to book this for the week before the PCI so that they would not get damaged by the builders. We were then told in August the construction would stop until they were installed. We had organised them for installation a few weeks later, but we moved this forward to get things moving again. However, there were also delays due to bricking the house, where the brick layers were there for 2 hours at a time. We have since received a letter advising us that the new PCI date will be on the 11th of October. This was fine, because as discussed with Alex, we needed to be moved into the house before October 23rd due to Jess’ sister getting married, and the boxes around the house needed to be gone. We also have deliveries needing to be made, and our flooring to be installed. I called up on Tuesday, and was told that the tiler was now finished, and a painter was finishing their job that day so they will be assigned to our house. After seeing no evidence of painting yesterday, I called up today to find that the painter was sent to another house instead, and it would now be 6 days before they finish before ours will be started (our house apparently taking 8 days to paint). This would mean that the completion date was now back to the end of October, which has put us in a highly stressful situation, and will impact negatively on Jess’ sister’s wedding (which is highly stressful as it is). On top of this, we have been in contact with the company doing our flooring, and they said we will need to let them know as soon as possible, as they are starting to book up fast leading up to Christmas. This could mean that it has also put our flooring in jeopardy, as we need this done as soon as possible after for the deliveries to be made (ie fridge etc). We are needing this issue pushed as far as possible, and the PCI date being as close to what we were told in order to prevent the foreseeable situation occurring. As noted before, we have notified Alex of this many times. Re: Jessica SA is absolutely FURIOUS!!!!! 511Oct 07, 2010 10:05 pm Oh Jessie how frustrating. I hope they reply ASAP to your email and get the painters over to yours place ASAP.

I am upset our house has gone overdue twice now.... but I am angry that he knew all along he was never going to reach that date.... they dont have the saying 'honesty is the best policy' for nothing. If he just gave us a date then we wouldnt be happy but we would deifintely deal with it.... I really dont think that getting an honest answer is too much to ask for.... Re: Jessica SA is absolutely FURIOUS!!!!! 516Oct 07, 2010 10:33 pm Charlene Jessie im so sorry for your delays, i hope it all works out for the best. We're starting to cop it too Not good at all Whats happening with yours? Re: Jessica SA is absolutely FURIOUS!!!!! 517Oct 07, 2010 10:49 pm Gingers crossed... tomorrow I find out if they have my dress so my Auntie can bring it back from the States on Monday! I just need some good news Re: Jessica SA is absolutely FURIOUS!!!!! 518Oct 08, 2010 7:26 am jessie87 Charlene Jessie im so sorry for your delays, i hope it all works out for the best. We're starting to cop it too Not good at all Whats happening with yours? First they told us we had to reslect out kitchen benchtops as they no longer make that colour, which wasnt a big deal cause that was the one thing i wanted to reslect anyways, but now they have advised that our bricks are out of stock and wont be available til end oct - early november. They are refusing to continue working on the internal area of the house until it is bricked. The excuse they gave me is that its more likely for materials to be stolen while the house is not bricked. To be honest i dont think it makes a difference, bricked or not all they have to do is smash a glass panel on the sliding door to get it! Im not happy, as this means we definately wont be getting in before christmas. Jessica SA is absolutely FURIOUS!!!!! 519Oct 08, 2010 7:34 am Bugger - that's just crappy! I hope from now everything starts being a little more honest. Being * to is crappy esp when you know it is a lie. I hope you get into your new house asap! Re: Jessica SA is absolutely FURIOUS!!!!! 520Oct 08, 2010 7:43 am I hope you get a response to your email today.
