Inspection Booked, Plumbing Query, Update

Today, we heard from our site supervisor, advising us to book our independent inspector.  Woohoo!  We're booked in for this Friday, at 2pm.  Von and I just spent some time drafting an email to show some of the items we felt were questionnable:

1. The roof tiles in one section seemed too far from the fascia as compared to another section, such that you can peer through and see inside the roof.

Roof tiles too far from edge as opposed to photo below.
2. The front left corner where the frames hang over the slab considerably.



3. A small gap between the bricks and where the eaves finish in the front elevation. 

A quick update for work carried out in the last week:  Not much except for the scaffolding being removed from top roof, eaves and upper pipes being painted and scaffolding for bottom roof put into place.  Fascia and gutters for lower roof done on Saturday.

Plumbing inspection was being carried out when I brought over someone to give me a quote for the driveway.  He said there wasn't enough clearance for the bath spout and the flick mixer to be on the wall under the windows in the main bath.  We'll need a U-shaped spout (well, inverted) instead of the ones that simply jut out from the wall.  Apparently, this has to happen.  But when he told me that it would cost around $70 for that and another $200 roughly to relocate the plumbing, I asked him why we should be liable for this when this is not of our choice and it is certainly not within our control.  He said he'll speak to our site supervisor and see if Clarendon will waive the cost. 

To me, work has really slowed down.  Especially when there were days with nothing happening at all during a week with fine weather.  Nothing done today again but our site supervisor thinks gyprocking will commence on Tuesday week.
