Week 31: Glass blocks, Pantry Shelving and Kitchen Splash back

So its WEEK 31 and there has only been three things that have been done in ONE WHOLE WEEK.

Sigh, you can imagine my frustration at this stage.

1. Glass blocks for granny flat done
2. Pantry shelving completed
3. Kitchen Splash Back in.

Still to be completed:

1. Door locks
2. Rest of the light switches and powerpoint caps need to be placed on.
3. Rails for bathrooms need to be completed.
4. Laundry tub needs to go in.
5. Laundry shoot needs to be cut out
6. Linen & Walk in robe shelving
7. Aircon Unit
8. Carpet
9. Driveway

I feel like this damn list is never ending. Realistically we should be in by now, but who knows when that will be cause our supervisor hasn't been in contact with us for almost TWO WEEKS.

Yeah I can't wait until this is over. To be honest, I am more over it than excited. It sucks.

I don't have pictures this week cause I refuse to give them free marketing this week for only doing THREE things on the list of many to be done. Almost two weeks over the contract date. Wonder what the excuse is this time.........

Frustration Central

Okay, so why does building always have to be so damn hard? Organisation is key don't you think?

I am just going to use this place as a venting point because I feel like no one else I speak to understands my frustration. It has been almost 17 weeks since we have started on site and all the blogs I read (yes I know I shouldn't be comparing my build to others) are always done or completed within 6 months or fewer. I just find it ridiculous that just because supervisors were changed that now everything else has to go to sh!t. The lower roofs are apparently being completed this week however the SS is reluctant to say what else he has planned for the up coming week/s. This frustrates me to my core.

If you know what comes next, organise the tradies. if that tradie cant make it, organise someone else that can come and do something else! It really not that difficult. I feel like I would feel so much better if this issue was addressed with all builders.

Organise your days/weeks in advanced and if you do changeover SS, run through the build with the newbie and tell them what was planned next! BETTER YET, request head office to create a spreadsheet or a document that is accessible online by both the builder, the SS and me so every time it is updated or changed, I will be notified. Would this not cut down frustration? Would this not cut down so many calls to the SS from individuals that are building?

I feel like the building industry is just so behind in everything they do. Times are changing and this boom is demanding new ways of thinking and new ways of organising. Sure, more organising is more work but hey, if you can turn over double the amount of houses you do in a year due to better organisation and better ways of thinking, would this not benefit you in the long run?

EUGH!

I'm just frustrated that we have been building for this long and still have not started on internals. Just completely ANNOYED.

I think I may need to take a meditation class until the finish of our build otherwise I'll just lose my mind.
