OH DEAR NOT HAPPY JAN NOT HAPPY AT ALLLLL !!!!

 Well here is the finished facade (bar the timber insert being painted) and the Timber above the front door... the rest is now complete even the plaster is now there under the eves YAY .


 The timber will be woodland grey colour
 The Brick Sils

 The finished Louvre aroudn the windows yet to be painted... HOWEVER
There is a A LOT of trouble on the horizon we are just about to go to lockup the sills are none and everything is ready for the plastering to begin and then it happened... Nareces bath tub arrived... its bloody square ... yep thats right we paid over $1000 extra for the round semi recessed sinks only to have a bloody rectangular squared off bath here it is 

 The glitch here is that the drain hole is in the center of the bathtub and therefore the plumbing drain is in the wrong place fo them to replace it with a oval one however I am fighting them on theis one and have written a rather to the POINT to say the least email to them detailing how unhappy we are and that out of 3 design sales specialists someone should have noticed that the wron bath was ordered ...of course they are trying to pin it on us but I am not budging on this... i have already sucked egg enuff with this build as in I have allowed them to change my facade setback, put another solar panel on the roof as my house is not facing the right way at a cost of $1000 extra, the delays at the start of the build, my laundty being  1/2 the size we planned it to be and now this ... I did some research and have sent them options of a HEAP of baths that have a drain in the center of the tub so that they will not have to dig up the slab and redo the plumbing which will be major work ... they also got the cavity feature wall wrong between the Living and Fmaily rooms which I am having rebuilt atm see pic
As for the Laundry I have done some homework and have found a way to utilize the space on the ceiling for the purpose of drying my clothes and towels etc... the laundry as it is will not have the space to open up a clothes horse so I HAD to think outside the square.. well here is my answer they are European Ceiling Airers and I will put 2 in the laundry to get space to dry that i dont have ... Pretty clever hey.
Will keep you all posted on the developments and I am truly hoping that we can reach some sort of resolution as I will do my block if they tell me to suck eggs one more time... 

SO ALL  FUTURE PEOPLE READING THIS THAT ARE PLANNING TO BUILD ...NOTE:* THE PICTURES ON  YOUR PLANS ARE NOT ONLY WHERE THE THINGS WILL GO BUT EXACTLY THE TYPE YOUR GETTING... LOOK AT YOUR ELEVATION DRAWINGS CLOSELY ... We were NOT made aware of this and thought that our conversations with 3 different ppl from the builders meant something and that they were efficient and experienced enough to do the right thing and order the discussed items correctly (the items are just a bunch of code and how were we to know what the hell they meant. ) DON'T LET IT HAPPEN TO YOU ... BE WARNED!!!
