Our electrical roughin is not quite right

J went by the house yesterday afternoon to check out the work of the electricians, only to find that a few things were not quite right.

Two of the three changes we made to our electrical plan prior to signing off our final documents (of which were supposed to be noted on our file that was forwarded onto Quicklec Electrical) were not changed but put in the original position.  There were other things on our original plan that were placed incorrectly or not at all.

We had parent teacher interviews this afternoon so it didn't give me a chance to go and look for myself, which only frustrated me a little more, considering I had the electrical plan printed off and prepared to take a walk through. Luckily, upon driving past on the way home from parent teacher interviews, the gates were still open so we took a very quick look at the kitchen (this was my biggest concern).

The two power points at each end of our splashback were positioned unevenly. One was set right into the corner and the other further out. There was an additional point (for light switch) on one end which wasn't correct. 

We need the following alternations made:-
  • Power point in bedroom 4 moved (as per amended electrical plan)
  • Power point, tv point and extra noggins moved along the wall in bedroom 2 (they were placed in the corner)
  • Power points along cook run/splashback in kitchen repositioned and light switched moved 


I was feeling pretty deflated now. J told me not to stress as he would contact our SS in the morning to get it sorted out. Fingers crossed it won't be an issue.

On a side note, our gyprock has arrived and is sitting in the dining area, and we have a new camera inside the house, in the corner overlooking the dining, living and kitchen area.  Our external camera has been removed once again.

A funny thing happened tonight...


EBH email notifications a couple of times a day containing photos of your house from the onsite eye camera installed on your build site.  J had been receiving these emails every day when we had our camera on site.

Considering our camera was taken away last Tuesday he was surprised to receive an email containing a photo of "our house". However, it wasn't our house. The photo attached was of an excavated lot somewhere in Sydney.  The picture still had our job number and address on it, so it was obviously the camera taken from our site and installed at this site, but not re-programmed. 

I logged on to our Onsite-Eye and sure enough, there was this vacant lot complete with details of our build. 


It turns out, our camera was re-located to Fletcher.

Camera update

I emailed our SS today to ask him about our camera. Apparently when the camera was being installed, the contractors damaged a water pipe which has been leaking ever since, making the ground and the pole unstable. 

The plumbers repaired the pipe yesterday and our SS tells me that once the ground dries out the camera will be re-installed. 

Fingers crossed! I miss not being able to watch my house :(

Our camera is gone


This morning I logged on to our camera and was disappointed to find that it had not taken any photos since 1:14pm yesterday. 

When we drove past the house later in the morning, it was gone. Removed. No longer there.

It is so disappointing. We only had it for 2 weeks.

Our bricks have arrived

I drove past our house this morning to find the bricks being dropped on site. What a beautiful sight it was. Here's hoping that the sand and cement are delivered later today so that they can get started on bricking tomorrow.

The plumbers are also there this morning doing our rough in. I can see them inside the house, courtesy of the eye :)




After site clean

We are good to go tomorrow....I am so excited!

Onsite Eye

We got our log in and password for the Buildwatch Onsite Eye camera installed on our block.  It is fantastic. I find myself logging on all of the time just to see our house....I think I am a little crazy!

So crazy I want to share some of these pics....
