Before the Meeting
When we stepped out of the house after an hour or so of meeting, the tradies were almost finished with our Hebel!
After the Meeting
The meeting with our SS basically covered the updates on Darbecca report, what has been fixed, will be fixed before plaster, will be fixed later and won't be fixed at all. We had a long discussion about the items that he won't fix at all and in the end, we gave in after being reassured that they are non structural and asking for engineering review will cause further delay.
We advised him that we want the skirting put on and painted as we are using Quickstep scotia. Now, there are 2 water taps at the front of our house that is directly in our porch and he said we can ask that to be moved after hand-over, but it will cost $600 to move it to a very limited distance so I don't think it's worth it to move the taps for now. We reminded him about the feature paint in the cinema/lounge that he promised us. We gave him the new HDMI which he installed right after our meeting. He will let us know when our electrician can come in to out the power outlet for the projector.
We got our Tree!
While waiting for our SS, we noticed that a hole was being dug by Woodlea landscapers in our nature strip to plant our tree and then they suddenly covered the hole and moved on to the block next to us. I had a chat with them and they told me that they can't put a tree on the hole as there are NBN cables in there.
I asked them if they can put our tree farther from the NBN cables and not just leave our front without a tree. After a phone call to his supervisor, they went back to our block and dug up a new hole for us!
Hooray! This definitely made my day and the early trip to Woodlea all worth it. I just love being surrounded by trees, back home I had avocado, jackfruit, sugar apple, rambutan and the flowering champaca tree in our yard!
