It was a very very busy at the house today we had tradies in and out of the sight.
I got a call from the SS wanting met to come out on sight as there were guys from CRIME Watch Security www.crimewatch.com.au wanting me to confirm the location of the Intercom and Alarm pad hence I was lucky to go out on sight and snap up some photos of the wardrobes mirrors and shower screen being installed. It was such a good feeling to see tradies after tradies coming and fitting things to the home ::lol::::lol::::lol::


Also we had guys from Vaults Plumbing vaultplumbing.com.au were back on sight to fit and test out the (4) Toilet Suites



Wed 16 Jul - House Cleaned and Carpet underlay - Day 144

Whats wrong with this photo???

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.
Apparently the shower heads that I selected from the standard range - Brewers- Rain Jet Hand Shower (1 function / RHS1F) is not suitable and is position too low.






Burbank advised they will not hand-over a house like this and will raise a variation to change showerhead over to Brewers Rain Jet 4 Wall Bar Kit (4 function/ RWB4F) without any charge ( NOW who will not be happy with that :z::z::z::z:)
Believe it or not originally we wanted to upgrade to this type of Showerhead+ Wall Bar but due to budget we went with standard.





Once again it was busy at the house today we had the Gas Line Trenched and the house has been cleaned (no more muddy foot prints) and finally but not least the Carpet Underlay was also in

  


Thu 17 Jul - Carpet Laid - Day 145
Today we had the carpet fully laid and also the Security Alarm wired
