Had an appointment with The Blind Factory for them to measure the windows. Informed the SS yesterday & he said there would be no problem, he would leave the door opened. Guess what... all the doors were locked!!! Called him & he didn't answer my calls. Texted him & he finally texted me back & told me the front door was not locked. It was locked. Wasted my time again!!!
Went around the house & looked through the windows, the carpets been installed. The fly screens have also been installed.

Day 111: Evaporative Cooling Installed
Evaporative Cooling has been installed. The only thing is I'm not sure why they installed it on the street side of the roof. A good promotion for Bonaire is the only reason I can think of.
They surely need to paint the white coloured pipe to the roof colour, it just doesn't look right with a white coloured pipe running accross the roof like that.

Day 110: Shower Screens Installed
Shower screens been installed. Both the Ensuite & Bathroom look very much the way they are supposed to be.
Rangehood has also been installed.
No idea why the plank of wood is up there. Will have to make sure it isn't there when they hand over the house.
The view from the laundry to the garage. There's a conduit on the wall in the left hand side of the picture. We added a power point outside the garage & they forgot to do that so they had to do it using a conduit.

Day 106: Bricks have been washed & a big stuff up
They washed the bricks today & it comes out better than we expected. Glad we chose this instead of Mocha.
A big stuff up with the power points in the bathroom, didn't check this during electrical appointment, expecting them to put them as per normal, i.e. next to the bench, but somehow it was wrongly put inside the cabinet 600mm above the floor. Only realised this last week after I didn't see any power points during the walk through with the SS. Checked the electrical plan again & it is indeed put where it is shown in the plan.

Day 100: Meeting with the SS
100 days have gone since start of the construction, 40 days to go.
Had a site meeting with the SS this afternoon, he said they'll most likely finish the construction work by end of the month & we can expect hand over early December.
Went through the house with him, few things to be done:
- Leaking front pipe still not fixed yet.
- Home Theatre cabling are not done, he'll have to get the final drawing to fix this.
- Door handles for laundry doors are omitted from drawing.
- A couple of outdoor wiring not done.
- Electrical for ceiling fan for Alfresco is not done.
Tiling has also been completed, so it seems we are on track to have Christmas in the new house.
Will have to organise quotation for Fencing & Blinds/Curtains so that they can be done just after the hand over.

Day 98: The Race that stops a Nation
Melbourne Cup day is dubbed as the race that stops a nation. However it didn't stop the tiler to continue working. Not much else happening, still waiting for the plumber to fix the front water tap leak & still waiting for the SS to get the tradie to install the still flashing for our front door.

The tiler is in to do more tiling work. Most of the floor tiles have been laid, with the exception of the kitchen. All tiling work will be completed by end of the week.
