We have a cavity slider between our house and our "airlock". We had to get some weather sealing strip on the conventional hinged door between garage and airlock; before we did the shortcoming of the slider was very obvious. Now it does its job just fine (it only has to stop huge warmth or coolth transfer while the hinged door is open) Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 21... 3292Jun 13, 2017 11:30 am I've sent an email asking for the door to be as per plan, for the paper trail and also so I didn't have to listen to all the reasons why it should stay Why must this be so friggen hard? I'm beginning to think that they aren't using the council approved plans because or very first set of plans had obs glass in the bathrooms and a cavity slider to the garage, these were the first things I changed and what do you know they stuffed them up GJ Gardner Modified Coolum 277 http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=83643 Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 21... 3293Jun 13, 2017 11:48 am As others have commented definitely asked for the door as per the plan, as its a security issue and heating issue. I would say to your SS, that your not interested in hearing excuses on why they failed to build as per your approved plans. Check what plans he is using asap. Otherwise might be further stuff ups.

Mart got up there when we did handover and they dumped it where ever they could be bothered. Covered the exhaust fan with it for the shower powerpoint and all. left it in piles we had to evenly distribute parts ourselves and we found they didnt even attatch the vent for the oven exhaust fan. All the heat and oil was just going into the frikken roof. Mister had to get up there and fix it himself too. Glad to be over the build now. Hopefully not much longer for you my love!

Do check the plans they are working off, I found my builder was using the wrong plans (not my final signed off version, but one version prior), and I had the same issue with the bathroom window being obscured, though I left it.. and I managed to notify them before the shower screens went in wrong. Also the lights are lovely. I wish I had thought to do something similar for my pillars. Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense.
