Impatience!
Since the last post, we really haven't seen a whole lot of progress, which is frustrating to say the least!
The builder contacted me at the end of July and advised that we weren't far off our first inspection, to which I responded with a "really?" followed by a list of currently incomplete items. They responded with dates each of the items were due to happen, and to date they have hit maybe 3 of those. The bulk of the internal items are completed, but there is the entire front elevation still remaining to be started, and lets just say attendance by trades on site has been sparse. The builder has since adjusted the mid-August key handover to a 20th August first inspection date, and at this stage, being only a week away, I doubt they'll hit that date either.
We have reached the point where we can't let them hold us up any longer, so bookings for our own "after handover" items have been made, including the laying of our floor tiles, for which our tiler needs full uninterrupted access, so I have informed the builder, in no uncertain terms, that handed over or not, the tiler WILL be going in that week, and the builder WILL NOT have access that week! I don't know how impressed they are with that, but hey, we're not impressed with the lack of action so too bad!
A minor picture update on progress since the last post, but nothing really huge to report, unfortunately!
