LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

Can anyone spell Liquidated Damages. Well I hope Metricon can, as of last Wednesday 9th July our contracted build time expired. Now Metricon are paying Liquidated damages of $250.00 per week until Settlement which according to the Supervisor will be in about a month. Not that I don't believe him, but every time frame we have been told so far has not been accurate, maybe now it is costing them money they will get a move on.
Anyway since our last post a few things have happened;
1. The tiles in the shower have been replaced, have not been in the house to see what they look like so have to wait to pass judgement.
The new tiles were delivered.

And now installed.


2. The Driveway and concrete under the Outdoor Room (we can't call it an alfresco anymore due to legal action against Metricon from Porter Davis) have been poured and they look great.






3. The Timber Laminate flooring has been installed, which only took 1/2 a day, I would have thought maybe 2 Days (Tramicka thought 1 day so looks like I'm cooking dinner on Sunday).


The slab was made level with a bit of fill and grinding only in about 3-4 areas, I think they have a tolerance 3mm over 10 meters.
This is after the floor was laid.



4. The Kitchen Splashback has been installed.




5. The site has been cleaned and the temporary fences and smelly porta-loo removed. Our side yard looks massive now and now the planning starts for the garden. Although I think we needed to buy the block next door to fit in all our idea's.
