Week 26 - Waiting... Delays

Drama after drama after drama.

First Drama
I knew our timber stacker door was wrong, I should have spoken up earlier, its only come to my SS now.

When you order your Timber Stackers, you have to ask prior to manufacture if you wanted extra tracks to be fitted onto the timber framing for flyscreens and security screens..(this is asked in your contract).. We opted for this so we could have it seamless rather than have it retrofitted on later on... this obviously costs money...

Now the issue is, plantation never notified stegbar about getting these additional tracks added before the stackers arrived.

The option is to retrofit them on the outside which is probably the easiest option, but it does look ugly cos its not actually built into the frame.

Or Remove the whole door, retrofit the tracks in and build in back into the frame with achitraves, screens will be internal of the house...

Obviously the second option will be more troublesome but its going to achieve the best look but it will cause delays...

Second Drama

As I spoke before, there was a delay in our flooring... Our floors were suppose to be done in Week 25, but are not due to come in the 12th of Aug.

So all the final touches with painters and plasterers will be delayed until after that... So now plantation is asking for an extension of time for the delays as our contract date is 20th of August. I think they will be asking for 12 more days to complete works...

In essence our build process has suffered weeks of delays.

There was probably nearly 1.5 months of nothing mostly in waiting for bricklayers and painters. A few of those days were very bad wet weather in april...
