They would still get paid the same. Some ss are full of poo. Hope everything gets sorted soon Re: Simonds Express - Rathdowne - Western Melbourne 533Aug 11, 2016 6:08 pm cooper229 Finger pointing ughh.. keep pushing the point. Its not what you paid for it needs to be fixed. If there is another discrepancy try jump on the phone to the ss while the tiler is there too, make out that its a minor mis communication so the person in the wrong wont get their back up and you still get the outcome you should (rightfully) have and need. That's a great idea about phoning while the tradies are there! That should clear up any miscommunication. Glad the silicon is getting redone. Maybe you could tell the SS that you will organize your own cleaner & give them the invoice & then see if the SS suddenly finds one available (mind you that could back fire & you may have to actually organize a cleaner). The dark grout looks so good. viewtopic.php?uid=71435&f=31&t=82862&start=40 Re: Simonds Express - Rathdowne - Western Melbourne 534Aug 11, 2016 9:35 pm matalee cooper229 Finger pointing ughh.. keep pushing the point.

With the cleaner, it's very tempting but I want someone who knows what they are doing re: grout haze & properly cleaning the tiles. I've mopped a bunch and it is still terrible looking. Fingers crossed I get happy news tomorrow.

DD was super sick over the weekend so that took a lot of my energy & focus. I've also put in a job request to get out cooker serviced, every time we turn the gas on the middle burner down it goes off completely (and only seems to have one setting?). (That's happening with Technika though) Anyway, very disappointed with how this has all been handled.

Such a shame. So disappointing that it's not been handled right. Hope your DD is on the mend now so at least that stress is over. viewtopic.php?uid=71435&f=31&t=82862&start=40 Re: Simonds Express - Rathdowne - Western Melbourne 539Aug 25, 2016 8:02 pm Over seeded the patchy bits of the lawn the other day so hopefully things fill in a bit quicker now. Had someone out to service the cook top, it was an easy few adjustments so that was good. So if anyone is experiencing the burners going out on low then give them a ring and they'll come out to adjust things. Another good thing to know is the 900mm technikas that a lot of us have are fitted with a safety thing so that if the flame goes out the gas only stays on for 10-12 seconds before shutting itself off. Huge peace of mind for me - especially with littles around. I grew up in a house with a very old gas stove where the pilot light went out frequently & I can remember on more than one occasion coming home from being out & the house being full of gas The supervisor's manager is coming tomorrow to take a look at things. The cleaner was around today to assess what needs to be done & will be back on Monday to do the job. Marked out all the places the tiles are chipped from the tilers being careless: Monday will be three weeks living in the house with it being a complete mess.
