They're moving faster than I can keep up with the blog at the moment. One day we have a slab, the next a frame!
Of course, once you have a frame up you really start to get a feel for what it will be like living there. And the energy was positive.
I did, however, notice two things that were not as expected.
In one case a cutout between the main lounge and the kidzone had been installed high up on the wall. I was looking for something more central, with plantation shutters, so I could monitor the kids from the adjacent room.
In the other case, a high fixed glass window in the ensuite has ended up double the depth of the one in the display home. Looking
back through the plans it seems it was drafted this way from the outset. But why?? I can't see how this is going to work with the mirror and shower placement. Not to mention the lack of privacy.
Well, I guess we'll see how well these things are handled when we talk to the builder tomorrow.
Update: I woke up at 4am worrying about the framing errors and decided to shoot off an email to the company and site supervisor about it. At 8am I got a call to say it would be investigated, and at 9am I got an email to say that both matters would be rectified. Now that's service!
