I have been trying to contact K about the report on the building defects, as i hadnt received it. Finally we spoke to day ..well he said he emailed the report a few weeks ago but i didnt receive it. So today he re emailed and finally have received it.Now the defects were supposed to be fixed preplaster and of cause my builder knew nothing about them ... well mayb later the builder spotted the defects and fixed them who knows..but i didnt get a chance to check it out as the plaster went up. So the plaster has been put up, k said some of the problems like roof can be fixed later but things inside the wall well will have to be smoothed over with the builder and my thinking is some plaster will have to come off. So will hear from K again.. im sure he will sort it.
Again it pays to get a independent inspector dont rely on the builders inspections.. they sure missed some issues with my house..

bricking and installation of plaster
The bricking of the house is finished and the plaster boards have been installed in the whole house... Lenny did say the plaster would start but didnt expect to see it all finished. Am i happy with the quality of the job no... im just a novice but didnt think it looked real good. In the alfresco part of the ceiling has come away hasnt been nailed properly. lots of areas around the internal house walls are torn and broken and uneven gaps around the edges. I guess the cornices will cover them up. Think i will request a site meet this week. they have delivered the cornices. Now its starting to look like a real house. even though its supposed to be in lockup my Sliding door was left open and one of the front bedroom windows has been taken out of its frame. so anyone can hop in. Now i know why they took the window out... so they could throw the plaster out grrrr. My neighbour was telling me she got such a fright and wondered what all the banging was at my house .. so she had a look she told me all she saw was this plaster being thrown out the window.. it made a hell of a noise.

ductwork electrical installed
Had a call from my site supervisor saying hes back from holidays and informs us that plastering will start in a couple of days, this house so far is flying along.
Had a email from customer care saying brickwork will be finished my Jan 24th and we will be in lock up. wowww
Call me nuts .. on sat i went down to the house and swept the lower frames of saw dust and mess .Dont know wether the plasterers clean it before they plaster the walls but didnt want them to plaster up the mess in side them .
Will have to call kevin and ask him wether hes been in touch with PD and informed them of the issues that need to be fixed especially the plumbing
The electrician has been and put in the cables and wiring fone points but noticed there wasnt a power point in the ensuite and bathroom damm forgot to tell the site supervisor.
ductwork has been roughed in and will be finished this week with the insulation.
I cant believe how smooth this has all gone ... no major headaches thankgood ness .. cross fingers and knock on wood everything else will go well after lock up.
