Sorry for the typos!
I guess the SS is to blame for not pulling into line the crap trades that Masterton hire. They honestly hire the cheapest and crapiest trades…

Hi - sorry I have been MIA. We've been in our house for 6 months already. It's been an absolute NIGHTMARE!!! So many issues with our house. 4 pages worth.…

All of our yard starts next week. I'll be glad to be done with all the dust

Is this one of your tile selections ? The small mosaic tile ?

Hi - things get VERY busy after handover. I haven't had time to keep up.
We've got a massive list of issues with our house. It's unbelievable that I gave…

No they don't. We added it though, paid the insulation bloke cash in hand for a heap of extra insulation.

Yes we moved in before getting the interim. Masterton stuffed up and ordered a final OC not an interim. Then they came out the 2nd time for interim and they…

NJC - yes I'd recommend a 3rd coat for sure. You can tell around our architraves it's only 2 coats. Our paint work is shocking though. I think my kids…

Sandra - I thought it was an article done on you, lol.
Thanks for the tip GillyM.
Well we had a big day today of house stuff. First up was the aircon…

Fisher75 - I have heard that is a common issue with the frameless screens. Everyone I know who has them told me not to get them because they leak. You…

Fisher75 - Hubby asked our installers (who are also Harvey Norman) and they confirmed that yes the Daikin units need the 24hr pressure test. He told us that Actron units…

That tradie Santa is making me giggle

Argggh I can't see it on my phone and my PC mouse has gone flat I'm desperate to read it.
I just went for a walk around the blocks…

See what in the Daily Telegraph ?

Fisher - all of ours were meant to be installed on Tuesday the 13th but that didn't happen because none of the deliveries showed up. So they all ended up…

I have to have a rant about this, and I want people to realise the types of things that Masterton does at the end of your builds.
Our site has…

Shire_Synergy - your house is looking fantastic. I hope the move went well for you. We are still only 3/4 unpacked and still have boxes everywhere.
Rox82 - I think…

MGardz - we don't even have an interim. In the last week Masterton have done NOTHING to help us achieve an interim. Council is even chasing them with no response.…

If you have the same SS as me then he won't care if you're on site.
They all know we do it. I told my SS if any client tells…

Masterton hire cheap trades which is why the quality is lacking and why they take so long. They also pay the lowest so the trades don't see M houses as…

I think the masterton a few doors down has that one. You could visit me and my -coughcrapcough- house and we can go for a walk down. we are…

No aircon for another week

So much for appliances delivered yesterday ready for install today.
Oven and stove arrived

Dishwasher, range hood, hot water system didn't show up. Apparently coming tomorrow. Still don't know when…

NJC - they are called Visions or illusion blinds. They come in heaps of different fabrics. I love them. Once I'm in I'll post more pics. We got a different…

Some quick photos. Our blinds went in today and our kitchen sink mixer.
Open

Closed

We have different material but same blinds in the stairwell and study. Didn't get a…

Will do MartibsHarmony once I've moved. I'm flat out ATM and not really reading this group.

Omg I didn't realise how easy it was to scratch bamboo flooring.
If your thinking about bamboo then don't go there. Ours kids have scratched it already in about 5…

Nice art MGardz - I guess that's one way I could cover up M's terrible paint/plaster job is with art.
I'm undecided how far I should take it OR should…

Drive way, it looks dark but it fades to similar colour to the tiles.
We are also doing a wrap around on the left side with a pad down the…
