Summary of what happened in the last 2 days

Tuesday 25Nov, I was excited because the bricking has started

Went to have a look again yesterday 26Nov, and found that the roof tiles are finally done
yeah yeah...
So no more holes on the roof.. and the solar panel has also been installed...

Plumbling, electrical wiring for power points and my star system have all been installed, so i think the next will be plaster

Just called SS this morning 27Nov and advised that i need Kevin to do another inspection (pre-plaster). I actually don't know if i need to do it, but most people said that this phase (pre-plaster) is very important, so i think i will do one just for a peace of mind... Not sure if Kevin is available, just shoot him an email, and and and...... he stil owe me the frame report... he is just a toooooo busy man, but i trust him...

More update for today, insulation is installed also, however still no progress for the bricks... also Kevin has sent through the Frame report, will properly call SS tomorrow and discuss further..

OK, i think it is brick time

Drove passed this morning (before going to work), saw some trademens trying to unpack the bricks, look like the brick party is finally here
I properly drive pass again tomorrow to see more progress...

EDIT: hahaha, just can't wait till tomorrow, went to the site and found that plumbling is done

However the bedroom 3 still partly un-tiled, not sure when they can complete it, it got wet by rain

The bricks have been divided into groups, ready to be up... yeah..

More Electrical works

Went to the house today and:

- Looks like Simonds electrican was onsite either yesterday or this morning.. because the wiring for power points have been done

- Cornes has already been deleveried

Not sure when they can complete the roof tiles, really don't want to wet the house (currently only part of the bedroom 3 remainng)

Hopefully the rain won't delay the build....

Pre-wiring

Today, it is Thursday 20Nov, things are getting better
Saw some tradies working on site, 2 from DOWELL, look like they are fixing the sliding door that was blown down by strong wind a while ago
Plasters are all delivered, all power points/phone points/TV points location have been marked
But the roof tiles are still yet to be completed

Talked to my electrician (Paul) this morning, he will do the pre-wiring for me, throughout the whole house using CAT5/6
Also installing pay TV point.. and I end up ask him to do all the phone points as well as TV points because the setup for optic fabic/junction box will work differently
Called up Simonds (SS & CSR) that their electrician don’t need to do it
Tried to ask for a refund but not sure if I will get it, but it is just 2 phone points and 2 TV points, not much to lose I hope
Paul is good, he explained to me very details and shown me what system he is going to setup.. and he is quick too, he complete the pre-wiring within an hour..
He will need to come back after plastering and handover, total cost – argh 1926 OMG.. hope it is worth..

Roof Tiling started...

Monday 17Nov, tried to call SS & CSR to confirm whether or not I should organise my electrician to be onsite to do work on Tuesday 18Nov. Because the promised roof tiles still not up yet when i drove passed over the weekend, I really don’t want to do any electrical work without roof tiles, so called them to confirm and they said it should be done by this Thursday, and this mean that I have to reschedule the work with my electrician as well (thanks god he is ok)

Drove passed the site again yesterday (about noon) to check if the tileing started, and I saw 4 people up in my roof doing things.. yeah… finally they started putting up the roof tiles… and they managed to get most done, so hopefully they can complete it today

Bad luck to me – I originally organised a day off for the electrical work, since it is rescheduled and I have also caught a cold/flu, I end up spending most of my time in bed, what a waste, WASTE, and WASTE…

Frame Inspection

First time meeting my SS, he seems fine to me…
Had a first walk through with him in my house this early morning, well, frame is up and completed since the cup day, but nothing happened since
He told me last Friday that the roof tiles should be up, but still nothing yet
He said it again that the roof tiles will be up today.. so I drove by after the work in the afternoon, still…….. nothing…

The plan he gave me sound good – Roof Tiles start to up today, then start bricking next Monday, and then plaster up next Wednesday… ha, but the roof tiling is not happening today already… how good of this plan will be?
Anyway, Kevin did the inspection 2 days ago, I am yet to see the report, hope everything is good..

Nothing has happened after the cup day, ng ngggggg
Spoke to SS last Friday morning, and he advised that the roof tiles should start to up from Friday onward, but when I went there yesterday, still nothing happened
The house located next street actually has the frame completed a day after us, but now, they have the roof tiles completed… ????
Hope they can get their act quicker otherwise I start to worry
However the bricks are delivered, doesn’t look like the one I ordered (but I checked the name/order sheet which is correct).. RED GUM suppose to show some random black dot in bricks, but this one looks like purely RED to me… hope it wont look too bad after they are all up… my hubby loves RED anyway, he should be a woman
Also happening today is Frame inspection, Kevin will do the inspection this morning and get back to me with a report, hope I don’t see much issue… I also have arranged a meeting with SS this coming Thursday so that he can show me around my house
Hope everything is going well…

Update with no progress

Looks like they have not done anything today, but roof tiles have been delievered and more frame as well

They are working on Cup Day!!

Unbelieveable, i don't mean to go on site today, but i have nothing to do anyway, so just drive around in Hopper Crossing, then come back from the new exit (can't remember the road name), then thought that i just go and have a look at other houses, and found that they were on site today and put up the fascia... i am very excited... It is public holiday today and they are working.. OMG.. Are they being paid triple?

The fascia was only delievered yesterday, may be they worried that the fascia may get stolen, so that's why they put it up quickly..

Turning GREEN!

Just another day, another pics... my house is now turning GREEN!! heheee

I think the frame is nearly finished..

Heheheee, routine check, i just can't go home without stopping by....

Well, as i can see the roof frame is up already.. the fallen sliding door is back.. yeah yeah.. i can't see any damage by looking at the door, but looks like it cannot be closed.. so properly need to be replaced... not sure when they are going to send me another bill, i need to ask Kevin to do a inspection first...

 

The fallen sliding door is being put back on
