great progress......................

Well its been a busy week at the house.

Our inspectors report came back on monday and we gave it over to our s/s, which he got the few things that needed doing done on the inside of the house, the outside stuff can wait to be fixed. Which is a credit to him.

This week saw all the roughing in of the heating/cooling,all walls have have been straightened for plaster, insulation has been installed in all the outer walls which have made such a difference,electrical all done just waiting on a couple of noggings that are missing, hebal complete and rendering has begun.looks awesome they have done a great job, but as yet not at lock up,  which i dont think that will be far away because they (pd) will be waiting upon their payment.

Plaster is meant to start tommorow so will just wait and see but hey i must say our s/s has been just great even with all updates on whats happening with the build, hav'nt heard from anyone at the office in quite a few weeks, (b/c) was on holidays for a couple of weeks but least our s/s has keeped us up to date, we are quite happy with that.

Here are a few pictures of whats happening................ until next time.

We are moving forward again..............

Well i have not put up a post for 2 weeks as things were going slow, but all that changed last week when we saw alot happen and it feels so good and promising.

Our s/s was true to his word and said things will start moving now and everything that was organised for last week all happened.

The hebel got moving along as is nearly finished on the outside, all the electrical was roughed in, and the french doors were installed, so its nearly at lockup.

lets hope it all continues.....................here are a few pics.

slow progress.................

Well not alot has happened in 2 weeks, the week before last saw the hebel starting to go up which we got real exicited about.

In the last week week nothing has happened!

We had not heard  from our new b/c so i politely called on wednesday to ask what was happening with our variations,was told she was busy and would call me back, but got to the point of being sick of waiting for a reply, so i asked to speak to a manager, which he did call me back and got things rolling
.
What a shame it took that to get somewhere......

We organized a building inspection with Newhome inspections because there we a few things we were not happy with and thought it would be better to get our own inspector which would give us a piece of mind. He found a few things that needed attending too. So it was worth every dollar.

We had a meeting with our s/s on friday and the poor guy must of thought whats going on!
but after the wednesday session with the office it was just in total fustration that there was no communication between b/c and us.So we let out all our fustrations on our s/s!
But reassured us that he will look after everything.

Anyway our s/s has told us that in the next two weeks we should be at pre plaster and the house will be at lock-up and everything that goes with it.......

Here a few pics of the hebal panelling......................... hopfully our next post will be a positive one!

its been a slow week.............

Well not alot happened this week as you can see in pics, was hoping for more to happen as the wheather has been good.

Spoke to our s/s on monday and he confirmed that we did not need the sarking under roof tiles as was told the pitch of roof did not need sarking.

Also spoke to our b/cord as we have a issue with our laundry cupboards not matching up with what we asked for at our pre drawings, and now we can't have what we originally wanted so was told she would get back to us by friday past but have not heard anything so will have to chase that one up on monday........ or maybe i should wait for the weekly update phone call that dosn't really come!

This week the plumbing got done on monday and the land around the house all cleaned and crushed rock being laid due to the amount of mud.
Rear glass fitted into family room window.
Bricks delievered to start hebel but no hebal delivered so hopefully we will see some progress this week as the other houses being built by porter davis in our area are progressing alot faster than ours!

Lets hope with the fine wheather that is forecast for this week there will be alot more progress for us to report on next week..................till then.

Frame complete, roof has gone on..........................

Seen alot happen this week, framing complete considering the wheather has not been to good.

Windows have been installed, and roof tiles have been laid, with alittle disappointment that the roof has not been sharked. will ring our s/s tomorrow and ask why it hasnt been done. Hopefully he can do something about it and rectify the issue.

The timber windows look great and are very happy with what we chose. It seems such a long time ago since we chose all our fittings that you begin to doubt  what was choosen until you see them installed.

Roof tiles also look good after we were told that our orginal choice was unavaiable and had to choose another roof tile color.

Here are a few photos.........

The frame is going up..................

Well its taken three weeks to get this far with the frame.

The wheather has not been to kind for us. its meant to be finished by the 2nd of may but as u can see its going slow...........and check out the pool of water we have in the kicthen and theres mud everywhere but hopefully it will get cleaned up once the roof is on.

Windows have been there for a coulpe of weeks also, so hopefully there not getting damaged with the rain. Spoke to carpenter and said they should be in on tuesday.
