Merry Christmas everyone!
Not much activity over the last few weeks, but some good news about the weeks ahead. The underfloor heating in the bathrooms was completed, and a pile of sand was delivered. Some screed has been laid down just recently, in preparation for floor tiles going down. A few other things have been completed, such as installation of some sinks, and the extractor fan going in.
We learned that the kitchen cupboards either side of the extractor were the wrong size, but that was fixed up without any hassle whatsoever which is great.
Some good news from the site supervisor - the tiling company is planning to work over the xmas break to get the tiling done before the industry re-starts mid-Jan. We really hope they get this done as it'll help things along nicely.
We had a response from the owner after we responded to his letter and removed the email from one of our posts. It noted that someone reading the blog doesn't have both sides of the story and asked that we be mindful not to say things that could be seen as negative. It also noted that they're working tirelessly to build our home to expectations and due to the magnitude of the build, some issues will be encountered along the way. Nothing was sent to us which challenged the accuracy or reasonableness of the specific issues we've flagged through our posts.
Fair play or not? Let us know what you think. In our opinion, it's perfectly reasonable to encounter issues along the way. It's also reasonable to ask that we're mindful when posting. We don't think it's reasonable to ask that we don't post negative comments.
Issues as they arise should be dealt with such that Alkira would be happy to have prospective customers see the way they've dealt with them. I don't think there's anyone out there who expects to build a home without any issues. It's how those issues are dealt with which will make the good stand out from the bad.
Anyway, it's great that they're trying to make progress over the break on the tiling and I'm sure many builders wouldn't bother.
