Walk Thru No 1

17/3/14 - Had a walk-thru with the SS to inspect the framework and to go over a few questions we had in regards to the build to date. We had concerns that the fridge space wasnt going to end up being big enough to fit out fridge, so SS is gong to have the space finished off with-out skirting to ensure it will fit perfectly. We also had noticed that a feature wall in our main bedroom was missing, as well as there is no support above where our stacker doors out to the alfresco area are going. SS has assured us that these items will be fixed when the carpenter comes back to do the eaves etc. We also asked about the valleys, whether they will be painted, he said he will find out as he wasnt sure. I have been told from others whom have built with rawson that they do get painted before handover, so will be pushing to make sure ours get done too. We also asked why the roof hadnt been finished, and SS advised that he likes to let the roof tiles sit and settle for awhile before the capping/pointing is completed, so the roofers will finish it off in between other jobs.

Our bricks also turned up yesterday so we are able to look at them with the SS, they dont look anything like the display board at PGH, but again SS assured us that once they are laid they will look the same. We went home and got our sample and they match whats there, so fingers crossed they look good once they start being laid. Brickies are suppose to be starting on wednesday.

Roofed

12/03/14 - Our roof tiles were finally put on. Looks like they just need to finish off a few bits and point and it will be all done. Love the colour of the tiles and the profile of them, not loving the silver valleys. Going to have to see if they get painted at a later stage, as i'm not a fan of them at all.I expected them to be the same colour as the tiles or at least the gutters. We have a walk thru with our SS on monday afternoon, so will chat to him about it then.

16/3/14 - Roof still hasnt been finished. Getting quite frustrated with the lack of work getting done at the moment.1 days work in a week is a bit of a joke considering the weather has been perfect for weeks. Bricks werent delivered as promised on friday, but Rawson have finally gotten someone in to remove the huge pile of dirt from the front of the house that has been there since the piering was done.

20/3/14 - Called past this afternoon to find our roof finally getting finished. Wasnt able to take any pictures as they were still working on it, but will take some on the weekend.

21/03/14 - Called past and the roof still isnt finished - not happy with the progress of the build at all at the moment.

1/04/14 - 3 weeks after it was started, our roof was finally finished!

Framed

Yesterday saw our termite protection installed, as well as our frames delivered and partially installed. Looking good so far other than a random plumbing pipe in bedroom 4. Also not sure our fridge is going to fit in the space, so going to have to look into that a bit further before they proceed to far as we have a variation that states that the finished fridge space needs to be 980mm wide and at the moment it only appears to be around 940mm.
