Waiting Waiting

It's now been a month since our walk through and they are still fixing the stuff on the list, last week was very slow, they replaced the scratched glass in the sliding door that still does not slide correctly! Now apparently they have to remove the brickwork under it as it is not level (this is going to hold us up for who knows how long) The painter came to fix up the mess of the previous painters touch ups but did not paint the garage floor , so it still needs doing....arrgghhh! then it's the electricians, appliances and cleaners. Surely how long can this take???? I expected to be living in the house 2 weeks ago!
If I didn't like my SS I would be complaining to Management, this is truly the most frustrating part.
So this week Dan'sMan Shed was finally put up but parts were missing so no roller door yet.
I ordered my shutters about 6 weeks ago, they are supposed to arrive early to mid sept, I wonder if they arrive before we move in? The Screen door guy is getting cranky because I ordered the screen doors but now they can't be installed until the builder changes the locks at handover...
Monday is completion day for us, The turf is being laid weather permitting and that is the yard complete Woo Hoo.

Oh yes and one minor detail the house we are renting is sold, pest and building reports were done this week (don't get me started on how dodgy those guys were)so we really need our house soon!

Lots of action, just not by the builders

Well we are ready to move in except the shed guy who was supposed to put the shed up on the 19th of July is still stalling, so until it's up we can't do anything else. Waiting still on the Builder to finish off the list so we can do final walk through, this part is absolutely painful, where as other builders hand over keys and promise to do all the little things afterwards, ours is doing them first....so we wait.

OMG the painter stuffed up!

I got to see in the house yesterday, still a big list of things that need attending to before we can move in, worst thing is the painter who came to do the touch ups not only cleaned his roller on my brickwork and stained the bricks with a white wash stain, he used a fluffier roller or something and rolled many of the walls in the house, now it's uneven and blotchy and looks terrible, when we were happy with the initial job it is heart breaking. Dan says the only way to fix it is to sand it off, can't see that happening! I was SSSOOOO upset. Thankfully it is only paint but amazing how one bad job just kills the joy when it was going so smoothly.He also did an awful job painting around the rangehood flew and got paint on the stainless steel, can't imagine that will clean off nicely either.
So race is on, I told the SS I would have the yard finished and fences up before he has finished, he reckons not. All we need to do is put the shed up, and install raintank and plumbing, get electricity conduit dug in the ground for the shed, level the yard, fences and screen doors arrive in the next two weeks and turf is booked for 20th August....
