Stairs and Waterproofing

12th August


Our stairs have been completed, and so has all the waterproofing to the wet areas, Scaffolding is back up for the Eaves carepenter to start on friday, seems that the SS and CSC have had their wires crossed, again. The Cladding is yet to start.  Render still due next week.

12 week update

5th August


Our original SS has returned from parental leave, and has given us the upcoming schedule for the next couple of weeks, looks like its all steam ahead, the weather has been co-operating which is nice, just need the rain to stay away for another 2-3 weeks and everything that needs to be completed in "Dry weather" should be done. We were ecstatic to be told the build is due to be completed Mid-October! gives us just enough time to sort out moving, enrolling the kids into new schools and also gives us a couple of months to settle and set up our new home ready for Christmas! A mid October finish also means our two-storey build would have only taken 22 weeks. fingers crossed it all stays on schedule. Water proofing, and render to be done next week.

Plaster Started and finished

29th July 2015

This weeks update from our CSC Plaster has started, bricks and lower roof are finally completed, scaffolding has come down, and cladding is due late next week followed by rendering, and painting. pics to follow.

10 weeks in....Raining again.

22nd July

We are 10 weeks in, and are delayed by the rain AGAIN....... arrrrghhh.

Spoke to our SS, he has said that the rain this week has delayed the lower roof going on, and the bricks will not be completed until the end of the week, which has pushed the plastering out.... all in all though we are happy with how much has been accomplished in the last 10 weeks and CANNOT wait until we are completly water proof, and no longer need to study the weather forecasts!
Update.... lower roof almost complete and then delayed again as there are not enough tiles.

 

Bricks Start!

16th July

SS notified that bricks and insulation has started..YAY! lower roof will be going on shortly (was not completed with main roof as somone damaged tiling items and they have had to wait for new supplies), followed closely by plastering.

Meeting our house for the first time

1st July
 

We made a quick visit to QLD to visit the house, which was great. Progress was where we thought it would be. The rooms looked and felt much different in person than what we have been looking at on the plans. We had an independant inspector from KSpec come and do his insopection, he found a few minor defects, and a missing structural beam which was a tad concerning, but the Site Supervisor advised all would be completed this week.
We did find our hose outlet was moved without our knowledge to the rear of the house in the middle which was a real eye sore, however the supervisor also advised that this would be recitified and put back to the side of the house.
Supervisor advised that wrapping was to be finished by 9/7/2105. Gyprocking and internals to follow.
