Day 253 (Week 37) [+29]
No work on site today, nothing was Scheduled... Lucky as it Pelted rain all day... not that it should of made a difference as there is plenty of work to be completed on the inside still.
It is going to be a busy rest of the week.. "Practical Completion" is dues next week
Watch Out - Rain Days
Watch Out
One thing that has really frustrated and Annoyed me with Metricon is the lost time due to rain days.
They Claim just about everything over 0.4mm and it doesnt matter if they did infact work on that day, if it was a part day or a full day, external or internal work they will still claim it as there "may" or "may not" be an impact to the timeline where the rain "may" or "may not" cause a delay..
They also Claim Sundays and Public Holidays for the same reason that the rain just possibly "may" or "may not" cause a delay..
I mean they hardley even work a Saturday let alone a Sunday to even warrent claiming it as a lost time delay
It feels like just a cheap excuse to get them out of trouble..

Day 250 [+26]
Today saw the Plumbers return to site and install the bathtubs... if you can call what they did installing them.. the bathtups do not fit into the whole that was created for them.. something else for them to fix up.....
Brickie was also onsite setting up for monday to brick the top of the columns up. if the Carpenter fixed the problem... (doesnt look like they did as they still seem to be off.)

Day 248 [+24]
Not alot done during the day today, the carpeters (6 of them) arrived late afternoon (5pm) to fix a problem with the timber support beams on our balcony, apparently they were off centre and it is preventing the brickies from continuing the column up.
What concerns me is why was this not picked up months ago when the columns where first bricked up??
It does make me wonder what other problems there are with the house that have been missed
