We were able to discover some other things that have been done during the last week; first of all, the missing garage roof truss has been delivered and installed.
You can just about figure which roof truss has been installed, as it's missing horizontal noggins on either side of it, just above the garage side wall.
Also, the shower bases in the ensuite and bathroom have been flush finished.
The cool thing about the showers we're getting, is that the tiling is totally flush and continuous from the shower base to the floor of the bathroom - there's absolutely no lip or raised guttering required! Very modern and minimalist - it'll look fantastic!Finally, Item 15 from our independent inspector's report has been rectified.
From his report: "15. As per AS1684.4 for timber framing table 8.3, ply bracing requires fixing along all edges at 150mm maximum spacings. The ply brace on the kitchen wall adjacent to the window has not been nailed along the top edge. The structural engineers bracing design will also detail these fixing requirements. Recommend viewing the documents for confirmation of
the requirements." If you look closely in the above pic, you can see quite a few additional fixing nails in this ply brace - probably twice as many as required, but better too many than too few!
Still many other inspection items to be rectified, so as they're done we'll tick them off our list.
We're thinking that a few things need to be fixed before the kitchen & vanities go in - first of all, the remaining issues in the kitchen area need to be fixed, so that plaster can be finished before the kitchen is installed. Also, the laundry waste needs to be moved from out unde the cabinet position before that's installed too. Hopefully our SS is on the ball with that too!
