RICHARD SAVES THE DAY

Richard got back from holidays and we were dealing with someone else and in one day all our problems were fixed, things we have been waiting for over a week to sort out.. Handles we choose that we're discontinued and there was no other ones but to upgrade or get a credit on and do ourselves later well he managed to find some so that's fantastic news and I always had regrets on the bathroom handles as I wanted Crome ones I was able to get them too. So it's been a good day. We went passed the site to see more bricking done I'm hoping by the end of the week it will be finished.

STARTED BRICKING


Yesterday we went passed the site to see they have started the bricking, it looked like it was going to rain but it didn't and today is sunny so that's good news.. We have had a few cracks in the slab we got a private builder to check them out and it's all good. We are into our 7 week of building with 13 weeks to go if no delays and weather stays good..

WINDOWS ARE INSTALLED


Well what do you know 10 days after the windows were delivered they have finally been installed that took awhile not sure what the hold up was, lets hope they start on the bricks tomorrow..corner stacker was not done not sure why can't wait to see how it looks..the house seems small to what I had pictured it's 25 a massive house would be 32 so I hope it all turns out perfect..

PLUMBING COMPLETE

Went by the site today to see if the windows have been installed to find the man doing the plumbing but no window installers. it's a great feeling when you see work being done to your home, it's that one step closer to moving in..

FRAME COMPLETED

It took 2 days to complete the frame and the windows arrived Friday went by the site yesterday being Monday and windows have not been installed we thought they would've been done. I got an email today stating they would be done this week and bricks would be delivered this week also so excited about this news! On another note internal handles we selected from the standard range are no longer available and there is only one handle in the standard range and it's round, round won't suit the house we wanted square, we are not happy about this how can you not have a range to chose from not to mention almost everything has been an upgrade for us. We asked to get a credit and do it our selfs but they cannot do this! Not happy!!

FRAME HAS BEEN DELIVERED


Today stopping past the site we seen our frame delivered it has been 9days since the slab was done.we have a problem with the two front windows there not what we thought our fault for not paying more attention. after seeing our builders there attitude was tuff they have been ordered but if it's not what we are happy with we will change it. Currently there a 4 panel window, we are looking at changing them too double hanging windows a little bit more modern. I also told them we didn't want there handles they gave us after the ones we picked are no longer available yet they do have similar ones but u guessed it they are an upgrade!!! I would think they would just be nice and chuck them in but still waiting on the variation.
