90 Day Maintenance Period

Hi fellow bloggers!

It's been great seeing how everyones houses have progressed since we finished. I hope you haven't had a hard time of it like us.

I know I've been *really* slack at posting, but I haven't had too much to report...or anything of interest seeing as the build is over!

We did have our maintenance inspection this Tuesday. We put in a list of issues we had, and had them inspected and accepted by Wisdom. The guy that came around was fair. We haven't had any huge issues - our main problems have been the absolutely dodgy paint job! And they will only accept it under natural light. The other minor issues we had were

• laundry door not closing anymore - hit's the frame
• alfresco screen door doesn't open properly - will need to have the track replaced
• pantry door needs to be repaired or replaced - was scratched by the guy replacing our splash back in the kitchen when we first moved in!
• creaking floor in front of the ensuite doorway
• some windows sticking and not opening properly
• settlement cracking along skirting, cornices and flooring
• ensuite glass shower door not closing properly anymore - hits the glass panel
• gyprock crack in kitchen underneath glass of rangehood
• brick discolouration 

That's about it for us. We've been fortunate not to have anything too sever such as leaks.

The guy from Wisdom said it will probably be late Jan - early Feb that we'll get the work done.

Anyway, enjoy some pictures I've collated along the way. We finally have our bed and moved into the main bedroom a few weeks ago - and loving it. Had no idea a King bed was so huge though!!!

If you have any questions about anything, I'm always around to answer them, just no necessarily posting!

Relief and an Update

First thing Monday morning, our new Site Supervisor contacted us to arrange an onsite meeting first thing Tuesday morning - thank goodness he did because we were on our wits end and ready to begin some angry emailing and calling to the Head Office!

We really like our new SS, he's new to Wisdom (which is kind of a relief) and he was very accommodating and went through the house and wrote down all our issues and promised to get back to us about them. He even went around with blue tape and marked chipped bricks, places where the mortar needed to be fixed, etc.

He also showed us the schedule for the rest of the build and we wrote down all the dates, so we know exactly what is happening every day until PCI - such clarity! He was even surprised there were no painters on Tuesday morning and followed that up - we had more paint done yesterday and the front door done.

He's also called us back today to respond to all our questions from Tuesday, and he has indeed followed up on our missing garage door, our landscaping, and other things we asked him to chase. I couldn't be happier right now.

So, here's what we are working toward:

• This week - second/third coats of paint, all external painting to be completed
• Monday 7.7 Internal locks, splash back and shelving installation
• Tuesday 8.7 House clean
• Wednesday 9.7  Site clean and Maintenance
• Thursday 10.7 Termite reticulation
• Friday 11.7 Garage door to be installed by end of the week
• Monday 14.7 Carpets, door furniture, driveway formed
• Tuesday 15.7 Reclean
• Wednesday 16.7 PCI
• Leave up to 1.5 weeks for handover

Next week sounds like a big week - there's a lot that is supposed to happen. Lets hope there are no delays and Wisdom can stick to the schedule.
