13 January 2010
Sorry it's been a month since my last update. Although there was a lull of activities during the Xmas break...to be fair there was a modest accomplishment during this period. Here are some of the photos. I have taken a fair bit of photos of poor workmanship and defects but I don't want this blog to be littered with rubbish so I decided not to post them here. Instead I sent the photos to the SS, Building Manager, and CSA to document my complaints and for my builder to rectify the defects.

Our home is slowly taking shape: the roof was installed last week while
the external brick walls will be completely layed by the middle
of this week.
Gutter: Colorband - Woodland Grey
Fascia: Colorband - Dune
they came from different batches as we got several Chiara shades. The brickies
had to mix the bricks and play around with the different shades
so that it would appear like we have multi-coloured bricks).

I have raised my concerns to the CSA and to the SS as regards to
the defects that I have noticed. I met with the SS, the plumber and
the carpenters on site and they discussed with me on how they will
rectify the defects. I'm happy that the defects can be corrected and
that they would do them in the next few days when the roof is up.
On this day I also noticed that the windows and doors are
already installed.
The roof tiles will be delivered this week and next week the bricks.

I guess the carpenters are almost done with their work of putting up the frames and trusses. I noticed some defects and poor workmanship though. Here take a look:
It appears that nail missed the middle of the timber.
And here's a big gap.
Here's one that I am worried of. That embedded pipe is a conduit pipe for H&C water that leads to the island bench. It is supposed to be underneath the cupboard beside that other pipe. The plumber placed it along the hallway. It looks like a floor drain. I dont' know how they will be able to rectify this.
