<span style="color: blue;">Week 34</span></h2>
<b><i>Mon 25 Aug - Sun 29 Aug 2014 (Day 173-177)</i></b><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><b><b>Mon 25 Aug</b><b> </b> -<span style="color: magenta;"> Minor Touch ups </span>- Day 173</b></b><br />
<b><b><i></i></b></b><br />
Today the neighbors noticed that the SS was on sight (probably doing some last minute fixtures/touch up perhaps) ready for Wednesday I guess?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><b><b>Tue 26 Aug</b><b> </b> -<span style="color: magenta;"> House Cleaned </span>- Day 174</b></b><br />
As per Contract Admin update last week, the SS arranged for someone to come around to do another round of house cleaning. <img alt="::smile::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Smile.png" title="Smile" /><img alt="::smile::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Smile.png" title="Smile" /><br />
Also today received my last and final invoice from the builder. Without delay I forward this onto my bank straight away as it takes anywhere between 7-10 working days to arrange for evaluator to come out before making final payment<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><b>Wed </b></b><b><b><b>27 Aug</b><b> </b> -<span style="color: magenta;"> Independent Inspector (PCI) </span>- Day 175</b></b><br />
My Independent Inspector juggled appointments just to fit me in last minute as SS wanted him to do his inspection <b><b>prior </b></b>to PCI. Now that what you call good service. Would recommend him to anybody <img alt="::smile::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Smile.png" title="Smile" /> <img alt="::smile::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Smile.png" title="Smile" /><img alt="::smile::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Smile.png" title="Smile" /><img alt="::smile::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Smile.png" title="Smile" /><img alt="::smile::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Smile.png" title="Smile" /><br />
Also he gave me a courtesy call to let me know 'no major issues found just really bad plaster and paint jobs that needs tidying up'. Hopefully this shouldn't delay the handover too much <img alt=":th:" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/think.gif" title="Think" /> <img alt=":th:" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/think.gif" title="Think" /> <img alt=":th:" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/think.gif" title="Think" /> <img alt=":th:" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/think.gif" title="Think" /> <br />

<b><b>Thu </b></b><b><b><b>28 Aug</b><b> </b> -<span style="color: magenta;"> Occupancy Permit </span>- Day 176</b></b><br />

<span style="color: blue;">Week 33</span></h2>
<b><i>Mon 18 Aug - Sun 24 Aug 2014 (Day 168-172)</i></b><br />
<br />
<br />
As at start of the week the below were the outstanding issues that needed to be addressed by the builder:-<br />
<b><i>- </i></b>Main Bathroom En suite Window (<i>translucent film to be removed</i>)<br />
- Covering for External wall vents <br />
- Gap above Kitchen/ Pantry windows<br />
- Water Meter relocation<br />
- Change External sensor lights (<i>Single globes as opposed to double have been ordered/installed</i>)<br />
- Excess Dry Concrete removed from Rear of Garage <br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i></i></b><br />
<br />
<b><b>Mon 18 Aug</b><b> </b> -<span style="color: magenta;"> Called Admin </span>- Day 168 </b><br />
After 3 weeks of no movements/activities at the house I had to but contact admin to see whats going on. Admin couldn't tell me much as no updates was provided to her also so she arranged SS to call me directly to address my concerns / outstanding issues.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><b>Tue 19 Aug</b><b> </b> -<span style="color: magenta;"> Sight Supervisor called </span>- Day 169</b><br />
<br />
<br />
SS eventually called me today
(finally!!!) but again '<i>no date</i>'..<br />
SS called to run through the last few items/issue I raised (some dates back to start of the build) and then advised he will address my issues and contact me in few
weeks to book PCI.<br />
I was not at all pleased when I heard that.. I went on asking him why there hasn't been any progress on the house the last few weeks but all he could advise was he's been working on other builds around that is at the same stages as mine ... I grunted <img alt="::sad::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Sad.png" title="Sad" /> <img alt="::angry::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Angry.png" title="Angry" /> <img alt="::sad::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Sad.png" title="Sad" /> <img alt="::angry::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Angry.png" title="Angry" /> and stated 'thats what
you told me last time we spoke 3 weeks ago' . So in the end we comprised that he'll call back Friday and we can work when we can book in PCI. ( I am happy with that, even if its in a few weeks at least I have a date to work towards) <img alt=";-)" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" title="Wink" /><img alt=";-)" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" title="Wink" /><img alt=";-)" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" title="Wink" /> <br />

<b><b>Fri 22 Aug</b><b> </b> -<span style="color: magenta;"> PCI Booked </span>- Day 172</b><br />
I thought this would be another week of disappointment but finally just after lunch the SS called to advise what needed to be done next. He asked for me to arrange for my independent inspector to come do the inspection next Wednesday 27th August (alone) and have with me report come PCI day.<br />
So yes I finally PCI inspection has been booked for <span style="color: blue;"><i>Tuesday 02 September @ 7:30am</i></span> (<b>Week 35</b>) I know abit early but at least I now have a date to work with <img alt=":z:" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/dance.gif" title="Dance" /><img alt=":z:" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/dance.gif" title="Dance" /><img alt=":z:" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/dance.gif" title="Dance" /><br />
I was told by admin they have 14 days to fix any defect after PCI so hoping I get the the keys <img class="" src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/tapatalk-emoji/emoji360.png" /> <img class="" src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/tapatalk-emoji/emoji360.png" /><img class="" src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/tapatalk-emoji/emoji360.png" /> <img class="" src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/tapatalk-emoji/emoji360.png" /> by Fri 19th September ( (<b>Week 37</b>) <img alt="::lol::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Laugh.png" title="Laugh" /><img alt="::lol::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Laugh.png" title="Laugh" /><img alt="::lol::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Laugh.png" title="Laugh" /> Hmm lets see<br />

<span style="color: blue;">Week 32</span></h2>
<b><i>Mon 11 Aug - Sun 17 Aug 2014 (Day 163-167)</i></b><br />
<br />
<br />
It is now beyond a joke as its been three (3) whole weeks since the sight fence and hired equipment were removed and <i>yet </i>I am still wating for the SS to call and book the PCI inspection <img alt="::sad::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Sad.png" title="Sad" /> <img alt="::sad::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Sad.png" title="Sad" /><br />
<br />
Despite my Contract Admin advising me last week that the SS was due to call this week to book me in for the PCI inspection, BUT it did not happen... I am now getting very frustrated as the house has been left in the same state it was three weeks ago and there are STILL a few items thatI raised early on yet have not been actioned.<br />
I must say I was fortunate we did not run into major hiccups during the build but the last few weeks just waiting for the final inspection is really making me think twice with building again with volume builders or am I just one of those unlucky ones???<br />

<b><i>Mon 04 Aug - Sun 10 Aug 2014 (Day 158-162)</i></b><br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i><br />
</i></b>Besides the company <a href="http://www.premiumoz.com.au/" target="_blank">Premiumoz</a> returning to replace the crack MasterBedroom Mirror Robe, no other work was done at the house.<br />
<br />
Still no phone call from the SS to advise house is ready for PCI appointment. <img alt="::sad::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Sad.png" title="Sad" /> I dont feel <i>any </i>love at the moment... It seem just like a waiting games these last few weeks. <img alt="::sad::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Sad.png" title="Sad" /> <img alt="::sad::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Sad.png" title="Sad" /> <br />

Hopefully by this time next week I have something to report on<br />

<span style="color: blue;">Week 30</span></h2>
<b><i>Mon 28 Jul - Sun 03 Aug 2014 (Day 153-157)</i></b><br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i><br />
</i></b>Not much to update this week besides Gas Company <i>(Energy Australia</i>) called to to advise they were coming out to connect the Gas meter and the Kitcehn Island Pendant lights were fitted.<br />
<br />
So most of my week was spent running around getting quote from different plumbers to see the cost of relocating the Water Meter post handover.<br />
Tip for those starting to build, make sure you check the location of your water meter as its NOT cheap to relocate <img alt="::sad::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Sad.png" title="Sad" /> <img alt="::sad::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Sad.png" title="Sad" /> We getting quotes of $1500 to relocate and thats excluding the application fees to Water Company.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
As you can see from the photo below its currently located infront of my garage /driveway, so much of having a extra garage where we cannot even get our car in <img alt="::sad::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Sad.png" title="Sad" /><br />

<b><i>Mon 21 Jul - Sun 19 Jul 2014 (Day 148-152)</i></b><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Well well what a week it has been, we had tradies in and out of the home to fix up last minute fixtures and finally all the hired equipement (Temp Fence, Port--loo and Sight cage) have been removed.<br />
The house looks very different feels like I am exposing it to the public<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i> </i></b>Work of the week<br />
- Sight clean and fill<br />
- Temporary Fence and Port-loo removed <br />
- Plumbing & Telephone Line Trenching<br />
- LED downlight and External light fittings<br />
- Stairs polish and vanished<br />
- Internal house paint touch ups<br />
<br />

<br />
<b><i><b>Mon 21 Jul</b><b> </b> -<span style="color: magenta;"> Sight clean and sight fill </span>- Day 148 </i></b><br />
<br />
At long last the sight has had another sight clean (and I think this may be the last one too) So there is no excuse for people to dump rubbish on my property anymore.<br />

The temporary fence and port-a loo were removed off sight today. It sure makes a BIG difference to the house appearance. But now I am worried that it makes is so easy for just anyone to walk into the property <img alt="::sad::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Sad.png" title="Sad" /> <img alt="::sad::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Sad.png" title="Sad" /> <br />
<br />
Also the electrician were back on sight to finish off the remainder of ground floor light fittings, also got to see a sneak peak of the partial kitchen pendant lights (only the pendant no globe as yet) Think this is just incase it gets stolen.<br />
<br />
<br />
Received a call from the Contract admin today stating that Master Bedroom windows to the master have to NOW be fully translucent because A&L windows do not do 1700mm high translucent windows and these needed to be translucent or else wont pass for occupancy permit. <br />
<br />
Apparently due to the 3pm shadow , these windows needed to be at a minimal 1700mm translucent which we were advised need to be done in order to get the building permit approved. But now they going to be fully translucent (No more view from my bedroom) <img alt="::sad::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Sad.png" title="Sad" /><br />

Received a call from the Contract admin call today stating that the SS has been on sight and has pointed out an issue with the Showerhead.<br />
Apparently the shower heads that I selected from the standard range -<b><i> Brewers- Rain Jet Hand Shower (1 function / RHS1F)</i></b> is not suitable and is position too low.<br />
<br />
<br />

Burbank advised they will not hand-over a house like this and will raise a variation to change showerhead over to<span itemprop="name"><i><b> Brewers Rain Jet 4 Wall Bar Kit (4 function/ RWB4F)</b></i> without any charge ( NOW who will not be happy with that </span><span itemprop="name"><img alt=":z:" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/dance.gif" title="Dance" /></span><span itemprop="name"><img alt=":z:" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/dance.gif" title="Dance" /></span><span itemprop="name"><img alt=":z:" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/dance.gif" title="Dance" /></span><span itemprop="name"><img alt=":z:" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/dance.gif" title="Dance" />)</span><br />

<b>Mon 23 June</b><b> </b> -<span style="color: magenta;"> Walk Through Inspection and first coat of paint </span>- Day 124<br />
Today was the day we finally meet the building SS where we got to go through the home with him and point out out issues, which of course I came to the appointment with my defect /checklist.<br />
<br />
Talk about taking work serious, besides just talking about the home and
our concerns I really had a hard time establishing a friendly rapport with him. Therefore, you can image no matter how hard I tried
just couldn't get 'THE DATE" off him but I did however, managed to get a
rough tentative (between 6-8 weeks handover date) so is it<b><span style="font-size: 150%; line-height: normal;"><span style="color: red;"> 08/08/2014 or 15/08/2014 </span></span></b>the day????<br />
<br />
At the walk through we managed to catch the painters on sight so was able to snap up some photos of the first coat of the ceiling and wall paint<br />
Just amazing how just abit of paint can brighten up the house soooooooooo much <img alt="::lol::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Laugh.png" title="Laugh" /> <img alt="::lol::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Laugh.png" title="Laugh" /> <br />

<br /></div>
Also just a note for you all, I also just found out that Burbank <b>DOES NOT</b> paint the Steel Lintel above the Windows and Garage Beams.. this was not mentioned nor offered to us at colour appointment. <br />
So for those that have not signed, might be worth mentioning or considering this done part of your tender. A little annoying but only found out now <img alt="::frown::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Frown.png" title="Frown" /><img alt="::frown::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Frown.png" title="Frown" /><br />
Lucky for us though, we manged to get a deal done directly with the Painter that was on sight <img alt="::lol::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Laugh.png" title="Laugh" />. He said will do it together and same colour as our Meter BOX. One thing less I have to be worry about after move in that's for sure specially with this wet weather!!!<br />

<b>Tue 24 June</b><b> </b> -<span style="color: magenta;"> Painting continues & brick overhanging FIXED </span>- Day 125<br />
After reading other post on Homeone, I thought I mentioned early to the SS the balcony brick pillar overhanging the SLAB before this gets picked up at Certificate of Occupancy inspection and delay us getting our occupancy permit. (Apparently there is a tolerance of 15mm but mine looks more than that) but SS was quick to get someone back on site to fix and fill this up<br />
<br />
Here is a photo of the Brick overhang (some guys digged out the soil and refilled it with concrete)<br />

other things I have to start thinking:- <br />
- Current house up for rental<br />
- Concrete <br />
- Security Door <br />
- Fencing <br />
- AND ............'<b>PACKING</b>' <img alt=":roll:" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif" title="Rolling Eyes" /> <img alt=":roll:" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif" title="Rolling Eyes" /> <img alt=":roll:" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif" title="Rolling Eyes" /> <img alt=":roll:" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif" title="Rolling Eyes" /><br />

<br />
<b>Mon 16 June</b><b> </b> -<span style="color: magenta;"> Glass splash-back & paint preparation </span>- Day 118<br />
Delivery: Rear Flush Panel Garage Door<br />
I think it may have been the painters (or the plasterer) at the house today as we saw all the nail holes around the door and window architraves all have been patched up!!! Guess this must be the first stage of the paint preparation? <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Tue 17 June</b><b> </b> -<span style="color: magenta;"> Paint preparation continues </span>- Day 119<br />
The team of painters (Hyper Painting & Maintenance P/L) where there nice and early to do some sanding.
Guess this must be the second stage of the paint preparation? Also the plaster were back there to patch up any holes they made whilst plastering.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Wed 18 June</b><b> </b> -<span style="color: magenta;"> Wet area waterproofing & Face Rendering </span>- Day 120<br />
Drop by the house and to my surprise most of the face has now been rendered. I guess the renderers where just waiting for some good weather to finish it off <br />
Managed to catch the painters and he told me that painting was going to commence Friday and by end of next week the house would be fully painter <img alt="::cheerleader::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/cheerleader.gif" title="Cheerleader" /> <img alt="::cheerleader::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/cheerleader.gif" title="Cheerleader" /><br />
Also whilst I was there noticed all wet areas had been water proofed and all the windows were all covered up (<i>No more peeping through the windows</i> ) and ready for painting to commence.. How exciting!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Thu 19 June</b><b> </b> -<span style="color: magenta;"> Full Face Rendering </span>- Day 121<br />

Week started off at a snail pace due to the Queens birthday public holiday with only the delivery of the garage plasterboard but by end of the week we saw the final coat of "RENDERING" to the Garage.. Finally I get to see render colours !!!!<br />

Also towards end the week (Fri) received a courtesy call from SS wanting
to book me in for a walk through inspection. Due to work commitments we
have arrange to meet Mon 23 June @ 9am at the house (week 25). Not long
after the call i received my 'FIXING STAGE" invoice- second last
invoice <img alt="::study::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Study.png" title="Study" /> <img alt="::study::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Study.png" title="Study" /> <br />
<br />
So
that all for this week, I guess nothing else will be done at the house
for another two week (til I meet the SS ) i think.... Hope everyone else
build moving along nicely <img alt="::lol::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Laugh.png" title="Laugh" /><img alt="::lol::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/Laugh.png" title="Laugh" /> </div>

This whole week has all been about the "GARAGE" and the long wait is now over.... Drum roll....<br />

<b>Mon 02 June</b><b> </b> -<span style="color: magenta;"> Garage Roof Gutter and Fascia Delivered </span>- Day 106<br />
Delivery: Garage Roof Fascia and Gutters<br />
It was a quiet day at the house so besides delivery of the fascia and gutter for the garage, nothing else - apparently the carpenter was off sick<br />
But we managed to arrange to meet up with Sydenham Concrete guys on sight to discuss our concrete needs and arrange quote.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Tue 03 June</b><b> </b> -<span style="color: magenta;"> Garage Gutter and Fascia Installed </span>- Day 107<br />
The Carpenter came back today to finish off the last pieces of skirting to first floor then I guess now they can mark 'Fix Carpenter' stage of the build complete ( and I guess then they can bill me the <b>FIXOUT</b> invoice) <br />
<br />
We also managed to see the Garage Gutter and Fascia installed (finally there is progress on the garage)!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Wed 04 June</b><b> </b> -<span style="color: magenta;"> Garage Roof Scaffold Erected</span>- Day 108<br />
Delivery: Garage Roof tiles <br />
At long last we see the (2) batch of Roof tiles delivered along with the garage roof scaffold being erected. The house has also been cleaned, perhaps ready for the painters to start prep work?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Thu 05 June</b><b> </b> -<span style="color: magenta;"> Garage Roof Tiled</span>- Day 109<br />
Delivery: Vanity Caesarstone Bench <br />
<br />
It was ab busy day at the house. <br />
We had (4) roof tilers come and put up the roof batten and tiled the whole garage roof within 4 hours. <br />
Carpenter was back on site to put hang up the Front Door and Laundry/Pantry Room cavity door and the Vanity Caesarstone benches were delivered and installed as well.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Fri 06 June</b><b> </b> -<span style="color: magenta;"> Garage Roof Tiled</span>- Day 110<br />

<b>Tue 27 May </b> -<span style="color: magenta;"> Ground Floor Brick Cleaned, architraves continues </span>- Day 102<br />
Delivery: Front Door Lock and Handles<br />
At long last the remainder of our brick work (ground floor) were cleaned today. Now we can actually see the brick/mortar work in more detail. Will be taking notes where mortar is either missed / coming off or even has a rough finish and will raise to SS when we have our fixing walk through in a few weeks.<br />
<br />
Also the Carpenter finally showed up to resume working on the architraves that he started and left in week (19).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Wed 28 May </b> -<span style="color: magenta;"> Internal Doors Hung </span>- Day 103<br />
The Carpenters returned and manged to finish off the architraves to ground floor and even hung all internal doors. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Thu 29 May </b> -<span style="color: magenta;"> Architraves and Skirting </span>- Day 104<br />
The Carpenters was there nice and early (8:00am) to finish off on the architraves to ground floor and made a start on the ground floor skirting. Good thing I was working from home today so managed to drop by and he was kind enough to let me in and take some photo <img alt="::cheerleader::" class="" src="http://forum.homeone.com.au/images/smilies/cheerleader.gif" title="Cheerleader" /><br />
<br />
He told me that painters cannot come in until he finishes... so thinking sometime after mid next week we'll see a start of painting preparation.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Fri 30 May </b> -<span style="color: magenta;"> Architraves and Skirting </span>- Day 105<br />
Skirting and architraves to ground floor is now fully complete. Just the top floor to do now.<br />
Also they worked on fixing and putting some of the garage roof trusses since some where taken off due to the scattfold going up. I think this so they can get people working on putting on the roof tiles next week???<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">Weekly Contract Admin status update:-<br /><em> Paint preparation will commence in whilst carpenter is still finish off the skirting and architraves. SS has not mentioned when garage roof is scheduled to go in.</em></span><br />

<h2>
<span style="color: blue;">Week 20</span></h2>
<b><i>Mon 19th May - Sun 25 May 2014</i></b><br />
<br />
<br />
Now that we are at Fixing stage of the build we don't see much progress from the outside. Specially when your locked up and most of the work carried on is to the first floor. But I am sure there were tradies on sight for an hour or so a day doing something.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here what most visible for week:-<br />
- Shower Recess Waterproofing<br />
- Cornices <br />
- Front Door Delivered<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Mon 19 May </b> -<span style="color: magenta;"> </span><span style="color: magenta;">Plumbing</span> - Day 96<br />
Today the plumbers were back to re-position the drain pipes for En suite 1 & 2 vanity cabinets as they were slightly out of measurement (out by 20 cm) hence the vanity couldn't installed.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Tue 20 May </b> -<span style="color: magenta;"> Shower Recess Waterproofing </span> - Day 97<br />
We had a trade man ( Tiler????) come to do preparation work for the shower recess.<br />
He applied some black waterproof coating to the shower walls.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Wed 21 May </b> -<span style="color: magenta;"> Cornices </span> - Day 98<br />
Drive pass the house and notice there were some cornices off cuts thrown into the sight cage hence I presumed the cornices may have been installed. Wasnt able to take any photo as it was quiet dark. Will try take some picture by end of the week as it was a little dark <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Thu 22 May </b> -<span style="color: magenta;"> Shower Recess Waterproofing (2nd coat) </span> - Day 99<br />
My Neighbor said the same Ute was parked outside the house today so I assume he was there to apply perhaps a second coat for the shower area.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Fri 23 May </b> -<span style="color: magenta;"> <span style="color: black;">No Work</span></span> - Day 100<br />
Delivery: Front Door<br />
My Neighbor told me that there was truck that rocked up to the house at 6:30am and to ONLY discovere just delivering "MY FRONT DOOR' .. Hmm why so early????<br />
<br />
<br />
