Top Level Render Painted

Sorry for the delay in updates. The pics should help tell the story.

Top Level Render Painted (Paperbark)


(The painter worked on a Saturday, so we were really pleased to see things happening. We are also extremely happy with our colour selection even though it looks more cream in these photos that what it really is.)

We met with the 2nd Electrician from Vision Living on Friday evening and feel like we are really close to being able to finally sign off on everything in that area. Henley have still increased prices in a couple areas so we will just get that sorted and fingers crossed this time it can move ahead to the next stage.

We have made contact with an Independent Inspector (Kris Jones from Blue Square Developments) and hopefully will have an inspection date in the next week or so. We have noted 8 issues, 3 of which we have already mentioned to Henley. Thankfully all seem minor so should be easy to fix.

  • tap relocation out the back (signed off on a variation)

  • brick work missing where a pipe was positioned wrong in the slab

  • Air conditioning thermostat cabling in wrong position

  • Normal black piping used in laundry instead of green for connection to water tank (signed in original tender)

  • Air conditioning insulation showing where no joiner was used leading up to 2nd story

  • split in insulation around cabling for air conditioning

  • small chips in pillars on balcony

  • paint from over render on gutter
The scaffolding is due to come down this week. It will be great to see our house with it's clothes on hehe...

Thanks Annie. Things do seem to be moving quiet well. We had a bit of a dispute regarding an extension of time with the Electrical work, but Henley have now agreed to allow us to do it independently (ie no builders margin) so hopefully we can now sort it out once and for all. Looking forward to the next stages :-)
