Alf was a nice and talkative bloke, originally from Germany, who said he was doing work for PD all over the place, from Pakenham to Mernda. He said the poor weather of late had been playing havoc with his schedule and hence why he was out here on a Sunday!!
You can see in this picture that they have had to rebate the gutter in line with the wall as we have built right on the fence line.
All the external wiring has been installed across the front and sides
Some of the issues uncovered by ‘K’ have been rectified like moving the exhaust vent in the outside wall so it lines up with the powder room ceiling exhaust fan.
They still need to knock out the timber block to allow the fumes to escape.
The pile of studs laying here is the timber they had to replace as the water pipe holes had been drilled too closely according to the building code and could weaken them as they are load bearing walls.
The problem with the picture below is that Yes they have replaced all of the studs and spaced out all of the hoses appropriately but they have located the Washing machine taps in the ‘old’ location high on the wall rather than within the cupboard space as we had asked ‘F’ a few weeks ago. I spoke to ‘F about this, this morning and the plumbers were coming back out today to move them again!
Plasterers are due out tomorrow to commence installing the pre-fabricated bulk heads. I have also finally organised a time with ‘F’ to catch up tomorrow arvo and go over ‘Ks’ report and what has been done based on the issues. Not much else has been done but I expect a fair bit to start rolling this week with the plastering.

Wow! What a nice view from your roof! Will you have that from your balcony too? Is that block of land over yonder to be sold or already sold? Looks really nice.
House look good, bricks and tiles look great. Your colours look really nice.
Glad to read that "F" is rectifying the issues that "K" found. You must be pleased about that. Look forward to seeing the plaster. Your house is moving along quickly!
Hi HTB, Yes the views are pretty nice from the Balcony - thats where the photo was taken from. The roof tiler was saying we should have turned the garage roof into a deck/entertainment area with some shade sails and sliding doors off the games room - now that would have been cool!. The land in the photo is of the Lilydale memorial park. Its a lawn cemetery - therefore there won't be any grave stones, just bronze plaques in the grass and well manicured gardens.
Great pictures. Interesting how the gutter has been recessed on the fence side - I've never seen that before.

Hi Tim, thanks for info. Yes I can imagine you all having roof top party :-) Good that the view won't change. I didn't realise it was part of the cemetery. Nice view but a bit on the sad side at the same time. Lovely views over and beyond too.
