More Little Issues Followed Up

After seeing our house on Sunday when we met up with the carpenter who was installing our multitude of towel rails and toilet paper holders, we went around the house again to do another critique.

Here are our findings, duly emailed on the Monday to our CSO and site supervisor for follow up. We had a reply from our site supervisor within a few days (also noted here).

1. Kitchen cupboards and drawers are not lined up really well in many places. You can see it because gaps are not consistent between cabinets and between cupboard doors. Cupboard doors don’t line up underneath for a few of them. (Site supervisor has organised for kitchen people to adjust everything).

2. We are missing the light point above the staircase (the one with a two way switch). (Apparently, there is a junction box in the ceiling already and it is up to us to get the hole done when we install our light fixture - due to OH&S issues - it is in our contract and I missed it).

3. Towel rails in the main bathroom are not aligned properly. (Carpenter to fix).

4.There’s a cracked tile outside the laundry door. (SS has already raised this with tiler even before our email and it will be fixed).

Also followed up the following:

1. If the single powerpoint and light point in the roof have been installed already since we can's see it. (Yup)

2. Have they changed the single powerpoint in the rain water control unit into a double power point? (Yup)

3. When does the external ducting of the rangehood happen? (After handover, when appliances are installed).

4. How can we unlock the privacy locks on doors from the outside (eg, if the kids accidentally lock themselves in OR we accidentally shut the door when the lock is on). (SS will show us).

Scheduled our walk through for Wednesday, 3rd of June, at 12 noon, with our independent inspector.

Got a few more quotes for driveways, retaining walls, decks, landscaping. Organised for the boundary to pit connection on the 18th of May and it was done already (for the phone). Now just have to pay $299 to move our phone number to the new place.

Off to a 4-day holiday in Berry with the family and a few of our close friends. Can't wait!
