Fronted up to the house this morning at 7:30 and ambled around with steaming hot maccas coffees until our s/s arrived to meet with us at 8am. He was very responsive to all of our questions/concerns and assured us that most of them are easily fixed, as we thought.
* The bolts on the front portico support pole will be relocated so they are in the concrete,
* The master bedroom doorway will be widened as per contract drawings (his plans were also incorrect),
* The alfresco studs are within the load limit as there is a double stud in the centre of the corner,
* One of our front windows will have part of the surrounding sill replaced (splintered timber),
* Crack in the slab is apparently nothing to worry about. Anything less than 2mm is supposed to be ok. Not 100% convinced on this still...
* Bulkhead in kitchen will be secured later.
* Walls will all be straightened and triple checked before plaster goes on (yay!)
Also found out there won't be much action on our place over xmas and all of January as our s/s will be on holidays. Bricking and plaster will not start until Feb. It'll be a long wait with not much action, but makes a holiday completion time (end of March) more likely which is a good thing :-)

hehe, you guys are in no hurry to get... and we're busting to get in! With your SS away, it might give us a chance to catch up to you :) We have our walk through this Friday... hope our SS tells us there'll be heaps of progress between now and xmas...
ReplyDeleteYep, we just want it done right! I think we would be a bit more pressing if we were paying rent because that + the mortgage would be a killer to pay at the same time. You can have Henley's tradies for all of Jan. I bequeath ours to you. haha.
