Issues! Issues!

Visited the site last Saturday to meet with the Electrical contractor only to be disappointed with what I saw - what they said that should have been fixed is still the same as a 1.5months ago.  

But what's worse is that the contractor forgot about the sarking we have included in one of the amendments to our plans.  It is part of the Basix report and we had added it despite of the cost for its additional benefit.  I still don't know what will happen next but we really want those sarking installed. 

I called the builder today and the customer service personnel is checking on it with the site supervisor.  Even before this happened, I already requested that I inspect the property but I have not heard from them a schedule.

Rush Time

This week is both exciting and stressful as we had to finalize the electrical and the A/C location and stuff. 

We finalized the upgrades to the electrical...

1. Downlights to the common areas - wiring and getting it ready with the installation of downlights.
2. Two sets of powerpoints per room
3. Data cabling
4. External lightings
5. Aerial antenna to get the HD channels.

Hopefully we covered everything

The Aircon location was also reviewed and had to made quick decisions since the blokes were already installing it. 

We got the quotes for the landscapes.. and we gotta look for alternatives... and see if the quotes are reasonable. :)

Bricks and Roof Tiles

Last week was a good week for progress. 

The bricks were completed, then on Thursday we saw the roof tiles delivered around 9am. 

I thought that probably middle of this week it will be completed.  Then when we visited the site last Saturday this is what we saw - a red roof!  

It looks like it is completed since most of the Finally I get to see how the brick and roof tile combo would look like and I couldn't be happier with what we chose.  We wanted to be a little different with our neighbors and yet a bit conservative in colour.
