Owner Builder Diary – Year 3, September 27
September 27, 2001
Carpenter still doing doors and door jambs, so its starting to take shape.The built ins are almost done. Although I forgot about the built-in in the bunkroom and the hall cupboard. This is a bit of a problem because the frame has to be made up and we’ve missed gyprocking it…oh well…more timber. I had saved a little gyprock so we won’t need to buy it.
Had council inspection of the wet areas – I need to send them a certificate for the bunkroom bathroom, just to say that it complies with the Aust standard. Otherwise all ok. I asked whether I could move in without the driveway being done and was told I needed an interim certificate.
Fellow doing the sanding arrived, but his power cord, which is a jumbo one, didn’t reach from the power box to the house. Unfortunately he has to come back tomorrow which complicates things a little because I have the painter coming at 7am. Called the sander back and asked him to come earlier. That’s fine. Called another local fencing crowd because the first contractor never returned. Have decided to go with a 1.8 metre fence because any higher requires council approval and (after phone call to them) they said that even with the parties agreeing it could take 4 weeks plus. I don’t want my neighbours to have to wait that long…and nor do I.
