Maintenance List so Far

I get a lot of questions on how happy we are with our build. Overall we are happy, but it hasn't been a flawless exercise.

Working in the house has really hi-lited how crap some of the paint finishing is, with spots that are obvious where only one coat of paint was applied. Sanding marks remain, and some doors have obviously not been painted properly with the worst one being the front door. Very poorly done.

We are getting a professional in to give it coat of paint and fix up some of the stuff. Hopefully this will be done in the next week or two. We were going to get someone in to paint the cornices and skirting boards, so we figured we may as well get the part of the house done again.

Other than paint. The list includes.

1. Roof is leaking on top of the portico with water pouring out of the facia during heavy rain.
2. Trim around the sink overflow is still missing. I think I mentioned this one about a million times.
3. Front, and Laundry door bottom dirt/air barrier is missing screws holding it down rendering it useless.
4. Front door trim around the side managed to rip off taking some of the stain off the door with it.
5. Whoever stained the door, managed to spill it on the tiles. It doesn't seem to come off. Thought this just needed a wipe during our walk through.
6. Silicone was applied by someone who I feel was blind. Cleaned up most of this ourselves.
7. Toilet seats are all scratched, with dull lids... Not sure if we will mention this one.
8. Several power points don't work.

The one that we are most concerned about is obviously the roof leak. Will raise this again and see how we get on during the first maintenance period. Hopefully we don't find anything else.
