Day 159

The SS called us last Monday in response to our concerns about the brickwork. He went to inspect the site and organised a site meeting with us. We met up with him on Thursday and he brought along a senior Metricon building consultant (who had brickwork knowledge). The senior consultant agreed with us - some of the chipped bricks, uneven mortaring and bricks that were jutting out needed to be redone. In addition, he noticed that the brickwork above the dining room window was not done properly (something that we would never have picked up!). He also noticed some streaking of the mortar from the bleaching process of the brick cleaning. The other issue is the inconsistent colour of the mortar which should be grey but in some areas it looks white. Our SS is organising for these to be rectified.

The storm water LPOD has been relocated and approved by the council according to our SS.

During the week the roof tiles above the garage, dinning and outdoor area were completed and the temporary scaffolding has been dismantled. Retaining wall constructed on the LHS of property (as per building plans).

The initial fitting of the fire place and flue is in place. 

The plastering has been organised to occur in the next few days. It looks like we are back on track. Thank goodness for our new SS!!
