Day 95: Painting Continued, Tiles Delivered & Pipe Leaked again.

Painting continued during the week, they started painting the gutter yesterday & the eves were given 2nd coat of paint.


Bifold door has been stained as well, looking good.


Tiles were delivered on Thursday.


They started to waterproof the ensuite & bathroom, I wonder why they didn't do the whole ensuite/bathroom at the same time.


Interior painting has been completed


Supposed to have an onsite meeting with the SS to go through the lockup & fixing stage completion. He cancelled the meeting & rescheduled for next week. I'm still refusing to pay the fixing stage until the Sill Flashing on the Front Door is installed. The SS insisted that it's been done, he must have thought that I'm blind not to be able to see whether it's been done or not.

Our front tap water leaked again on Thursday, texted & emailed the SS to let him know about it & he said they would send the plumber first thing Friday morning. Went to check on Friday evening & nothing was done. The neighbours are not happy with the water wasted & how PD been handling this, the 2nd time in 2 weeks.

Day 87: Painting Started

Painting job started today.




The tradies were clearing the front of the house yesterday & hit the water pipe. Water was leaking all afternoon. Called the SS & was told it would be fixed this morning. Went onsite this afternoon & it has been fixed, but hate to see all those water got wasted.

Thanks to Nearmap & room4acubby who put up similar map in their blog.

Day 84: Fixing Stage Completed

Got an invoice for Fixing Stage. Things are going on very quickly, they are working inside now & the doors been locked most days, however they didn't lock it today.

Roof Capping was finally fixed.


However, the damage is already done, the heavy rain over the weekend has damaged the ceiling plaster in the ensuite. Water Damage as marked by the plasterer

It seems they are going to replace this panel of plaster.

Day 78: Locked Out

Can't go into the house today, they locked all the doors & windows.

Kitchen is being done, the benchtop, cabinets, & the island bench are being done. The sink has been put in, hopefully they don't stuff this up, we upgraded our sink to a double sink.

Day 76: Cornice & Lock Up Stage

Brick work is completed. I think they've done a good job with the bricking.

Cornice is almost done. They must have run out of materials, because the kitchen area was not done yet.



We also received the biggest invoice, lock up stage. I informed them that we are still considering the lock up stage is not completed yet until they fix the roof ridge capping on top of the ensuite. This was supposed to have been fixed last week. We are just hoping the heavy rain last week didn't cause any damage to the ceiling plasterboard under the damaged roof capping. Will have to ask the inspector to specifically look at this area.

Day 71: Brick work almost done & Plaster started

Bricking almost completed, they only need to do the pillars in the alfresco & portico & under the windows.

Plastering started yesterday & they've plastered pretty much the whole house.

Day 66: Bricking continues

Bricking continues this week. Nothing else is done, plastering is due to start end of this week but nothing is done yet.
