Pre-Plaster Inspection.

So today we had our Pre-Plaster inspection, most of the items were still outstanding items from the first Frame Inspection Report. New ones that I wasn't aware of was the unlevel roof truss in the dinning, games, bed4 and bed 3/bed3 hallway. There was upto 2cm difference between the trusses directly next to the truss in question, other minor items are noggings for the baths for the lower sheets of plaster, and bracing required for a top plate where the plumber went a bit nuts with drilling a hole for the breather pipe in the pantry.

One item that wasn't listed but has been going on for ever it seems like is the stacking sliding door to the alfresco/family room. We have been waiting for the door to get fixed since we first raised the issue. The door has been removed along with the games room window that has a broken reveal. Hopefully it is getting fixed properly.

Frame Stage - Independant Inspection

Frame Stage Independent Inspection.

Today I went down to meet my Building Inspector. I wanted to highlight a few concerns that I am pushing to get fixed. Below are the items I raised to the Inspector:

Paint Chip on Stacking Sliding Door from Family to Alfresco
Concrete Blow out on Rear Corner of House (This was already fixed when he arrived)!
Frame Overhang on front of Garage (He wasn't concerned with how it was fixed)
Windows that were not installed (we found out that they are damaged most likely from when they were installed and "fell out" and broke the hinges on them)
Frame Overhang Inside Garage next to Entrance Hall (Again this was already fixed)
Split frame on toilet, and unsecured Bed2 door frame (said most of this gets fixed at fixing stage)
Spoke about the dusting of the Slab (He said he would write this up as it can be a problem for people with allergies, asthma and tiling)
