It's a product your family has paid for and it wasn't done right. I would be very annoyed and insist on them doing the showers as per inspection, tell them if not you'll be consulting legal advice Simonds Express - Rathdowne - Western Melbourne 511Aug 08, 2016 4:12 pm kyliebsmith Oh course it does!

I can't mop until tomorrow, there is so much dust everywhere even though we were told they'd put plastic over stuff (so I didn't move things), one of the kids has asthma. I don't know how I'm ever going to get this house clean again & have just had a big cry They guys can't come back until Wednesday now so that's also super fun.

Oh I can see the dust on the bench, I'd get them to pay a cleaner when they're done, and push for the showers to be done too, better to get it done now than maybe having to do it all again later! Are they the same people that screwed it up in the first place?

Are they the same people that screwed it up in the first place? I had DF call the supervisor and a cleaner is coming when they're all done but it might not be until Friday. Obviously we can't leave it like that so we've been wiping everything down. I can't attempt to do anything to the floors until at least tomorrow but I have a feeling it isn't going to be easy. I just tried wiping one and then once it dried it looked cloudy and gross still. Yup, the tile guy said that even though the grout looks fine now, he doesn't trust it because it was done with the same batch of grout. Grouting guy just doesn't want to scrape it all out. One issue I've noticed now is all the silicone in the bathroom is white. So that looks pretty rubbish now. Everyone is going off about how much better this dark grout looks and all I can see is the mess haha I hope by this time next week I'll be happy instead of bursting into tears every time I look at the mess. They aren't the same people that put it in and they were p*ssed when they walked in because it's a huge, terrible job. They dropped a couple f-bombs in front of Miss 4.5, nice We built the Rathdowne with Simonds Express in Western Melbourne Site start Oct. 2015 Keys Jan. 25th, 2015 My build thread -here- Re: Simonds Express - Rathdowne - Western Melbourne 516Aug 08, 2016 8:49 pm Oh, Megara, I want to give you a big hug. I'd be super annoyed if it was left like that especially if one of my babies had asthma.

We're going to spend the day out of the house today to give the grout more time to cure then I'm going to mop. I can't leave it the way it is until Friday, the youngest has just learnt to walk but is still covered in black dust. Still very upset that we were told one thing and then something different happened. We should've gone out yesterday to buy plastic when we realised they weren't going to do it the way that was explained to me.

It looks absolutely rubbish. All the grouting except for under the stove is done (they wouldn't do under the stove because they'd need to get a plumber in...).
