Browse Forums Building A New House Re: KDR Sekisui House - St George 1091Nov 18, 2017 5:29 am I will have to take a pic of ours, we haven’t had it completed but I hadn’t noticed a step like that Re: KDR Sekisui House - St George 1092Nov 18, 2017 7:59 am They should have made ceiling same level. The original front ceiling was worst looking. A row of bricks was showing on both side so I asked SS to drop down the small section of ceiling and capped the row of bricks but carpenter did not capped the row of bricks. They should know how to do things correctly I should not be asking for little things to finish off nicely. There are too many areas that Painter had marked with pencil for repatching, refilling needed to be work by plaster guy. SS is waiting for approval from his management to replace incorrect size kitchen cooktop bench and base cabinets, as this was admin mistake. How long will it take to approve?... I don't want refund!!! I do wants correct size stone top and base cabinets. After looking into kitchen from different angles we needs to have full sized cooktop bench to balance off the huge island bench at the front. At the moment the 60cm cooktop bench looks short and small from distance. Definitely not balance!! Our roof tiling is still not finish!! and I told bathroom tilers to redo some floor tiling as they did really bad job. Now they are waiting for more floor tiles to be deliver.

Re: KDR Sekisui House - St George 1094Nov 19, 2017 8:21 pm You're having timber feature on the front arent you? I wonder if they could line it in timber boards to match the other timber feature, wrap it up over the step, so you see the edge as well? So its "meant" to be lower? Re: KDR Sekisui House - St George 1096Nov 19, 2017 11:03 pm Cat_dunc you have come up with great idea. builder mistake leads to my advantage. Yes ceiling should have come down to cover the bricks row, but they only fixed the smaller section of two ceiling, that why there is a step showing. I have told SS to cover bricks and still bricks are showing. With cat's idea timber feature on ceiling is a good solution. I only have timer feature at the front of balcony so should flows in So nice to have buddies on H1. hehe Build Thread : viewtopic.php?=31&t=81624 We were lucky in that our old house was so small (86 square metres) compared to the new house, they were able to take enough readings around the old backyard house before… 8 36896 The biggest challenge will be if you take out a loan and then run out of money - you'll have an incomplete security and lenders do not like this so you can get stuck.… 2 18894 Hi, I am looking into doing a KDR in Melbourne and am contemplating using Kialla Homes.
