Day 121 - January 26th (Day 52 of 65)

Found some other items that need fixing today. I suspect it might be a good idea to have a look at the home using the house lights, as I found these ones easily under this light.


  1. Bracket on the gutter is loose. Needs fixing
  2. Gutter is dripping in a spot near the rear of the garage. Not sure why?
  3. The garage door, when it was delivered, had some dings in it. I think this must happen to every build  have seen.
  4. The light in the front bedrooms walk in robe is not working.
  5. There is a pipe still sticking out of the ground at the front of the property that they removed when they fixed the power coming into the home.
  6. The grills on the pipes n the ground outside the home need attaching.
  7. One of the surface drains has been capped..... Needs to be uncapped and work as shown on the plans...
  8. Need plans showing where the pipes are laid in the ground, so when it comes time to dig the outdoor room patio, we don't hit one!
  9. Man hole needs cleaning as there is red soil surrounding it. Not sure where the cover has gone?
  10. Doors in living room cupboard are stuck together on one side and miles apart on the other....
  11. Need to screw down some of the winding mechanisms on the windows.
  12. Wall in bathroom near light switch has a visible line on the paintwork.
  13. Switch in Laundry needs patching
  14. Near rear garage door, the paint has cracked.
  15. Rear garage door -> the faceplate of the lock is not attached, and has caused the door handle to move, casing the paint to be damaged.
I'll just keep adding to this list as it makes it easier.

Got a quote today for the driveway. This is the second quote, and I think we will accept it. Just need to let him know. Our site supervisor won't let us build the driveway until after handover...was worth while asking anyway...

I need to get him to remove the waste concrete they left when they poured the slab.  The guy who does the driveways will charge us to remove it, and he said that it is actually waste concrete from the house slab, so the builder needs to remove it (which makes perfect sense).

  2. Tonia, believe me there will be more than just what Rob has listed. I guess Robert has listed fairly medium to major repairs. Minor repairs will probably double or triple that number. With scuff marks, scratches, dents and finger prints making up most of the repairs.

    I can't believe your rangehood hasn't gone in yet.

  3. Jay,

    Yes. There are sure to be a list of other items. We are going out to the house to do an inspection tomorrow at 3.

    Tonia,

    The items all all pretty minor, and most of them I am sure will be fixed before handover.
