Maintenance inspection

This past week has seen the 13 week inspection date come and go! Eden Brae are not able to get the Supervisor out until early March. Whoa! To be honest, I wasn't bothered at all which I think surprised my CSA. For me, it means an extra 6 weeks for issues to arise that may get fixed. Once your list has been agreed on with your supervisor, nothing can be added. I seen the delay as being a win then. The items I have contacted Eden Brae about since settlement have been IMMEDIATELY acted uon. So far no fault at all with after sales customer service eg. toilet cistern, kitchen mixer tap. I initially had items listed here on the blog (straight after settlement)  that would have come up at this maintenance inspection but Troy came straight around and fixed most of them up himself. Here are the things that I will be discussing with Jason, the Maintenance Supervisor.

Calling it done!

....even though there are a handful of minor things to be completed next week. Things such as timber seating, pebbles laid, trimming some timber from retaining walls, a few more plants, guerneying the house/alfresco etc. The pool fence is rumoured to be done next Thursday which then leaves Concept Pools to finish off the pool. Maybe before the end of summer???

Here are some rainy twilight photos for you to enjoy.

Almost there!

Tomorrow, with turf laying, will see the end of the major landscaping works. After the pool is finished, there will be some minor touchups to complete. So happy with the plant selection and can't wait to see them grow and grow and grow. We have 3 trees that need to grow to beyond 15m high as per council stipulations. We have gone for a more tropical look with palms, camellias and a few frangipanis

Still need timber on the seating

Turf in the middle

The paving is now going to be sealed

Turf here too

Our waterline tiles arrived today

Paving almost complete!

And now in different light...

Concept Pools update

In the interest of a fair & balanced blog, I had better post tonight about Concept Pools. After their history of poor communication with me, I was surprised today to receive a call to see where I was up to with my selection of waterline tiles. It had been actioned with the Office Manager. To be proactive,  Ben suggested that I also select the pool equipment box. Wow! Talk about a turnaround. I asked Ben about the programme of works - as soon as the pool fencing is erected then it will be full steam ahead. They will be able to book in our Gemtex lining which should take about 2 weeks at this time of year. We may yet get a swim in our pool this summer.....
