Pre-Handover Inspection done - finally ...

Finally i have my pre-handover inspection done yesterday. After a few rescheduled, now all done..

The defect list is quite large however most of them are minor, only some paint job/re-patch required, a few holes/cracks need to be fixed, some scratched carpet (but only a very small areas), privacy lock on the wrong door, brick clean again…etc..

Major issue, well, the LINEN architraves is not straight, but they are going to re-do the whole LINEN for me anyway because it didn’t build as per contract, so no concern.. Only the kitchen pantry door is not level, not sure if it can be fixed, it is quite obvious, but at least it is no structural concern.. the main bedroom door is also having the same issue but less obvious, so i just let it go (i won’t even notice if Kevin not pointed to me)

Overall look ok, but yes, still need to wait for Kevin report which should be available on Monday, but as he said, nothing major except the door level problem..

SS is good, i am so glad that i have a new SS now… he is very patient and willing to work with me and Kevin.. especially you know that he is working overtime because me and Kevin are not available till 5pm.. so our inspection occured quite late. And i brought one of my friends there as well, because my husband is not available.. and my SS still ok, and even listen to her when she found something..

Now, SS advised that he will try to get everything fixed in 5 days, although i am not confident of that.. let's see, i don't mind to wait another week, i just want everything fixed and good..

I still need to organise my electrican to complete the rest TV/phone, then i can phone the bank ready for the final payment (the bank also need to do final inspection), hope everything is going to be ok.. fingercross

Positive Move

A week is passed and things start to look good. SS told me that he has found a company called "northcote"?? that can fix the mortar, so i dont need to pull down the wall and re-patch it.. the company provide 20 years guarantee for the fix.. Basically (i think) they just apply another layer on top and match the color. I am not sure if this is a good solution, but i would want them to try first..

The house is looking better:
- the bricks have finally done.. so next week they can do the render
- carpet is in
- ensuite vanity is in (but the mixer is missing, hope it is not stolen again)
- the missing bathtub is back
- the missing external powerpoint is in
- the cornies in kitchen is completed also, just need to paint now
- the outstanding electrical work is completed also (except the work from my own electrican)

The issues i addressed last week were almost completed, only the mortar and the LINEN remaining now

PCI booked in next Tuesday, however just recevied a call from SS that it need to be rescheduled till Friday, because the garage door and flyscreen won't be able to deliver before Tuesday.. Now not sure if Kevin is available.. he is avaialble on Tuesday but not sure about Friday, hope he can make it, i want him to do the PCI with me.. fingercross
