First Inspection

We had our first inspection on 03/05/2013.  We spent more than 2 hours going through and around the house.  We then had our private inspector go through it as well.

The theatre was incomplete.  Feature paint was not done, nor were the audio cabling/wall plates in place.

The kitchen still has a lot of work to be done.  Several panels had scratches on them and 2 were missing.  One or two drawers didn't close after being opened without lifting the drawer above.  The pull-out bin cupboard didn't close flush.  

Almost every room had incomplete paint work.  Quite a number of corners and doors had marks on them.

The tiles in the en suite and laundry had marks in (and on) them.  One of the en suite mirrors had a chip out of it.

The WIR drawers were misaligned, i.e. not level with each other.

The cupboards in Bed 2, 3 and 4 had the shelves on the wrong side.  Sadly, the 600mm shelves actually sit 200mm inside the front nib.  Bed 3's had the wrong doors. 

Numerous window frames had scratches on them, with one actually being dented/bent.
There was no insulation in place.
The floorboards are yet to arrive (we knew this beforehand)

Even with all these issues, we still love our house and are looking forward to settling in it.  We just want things to be perfect, or as near-as.

Next, we have to arrange the base retaining walls, landscaping and driveway/walkways.

I've updated the floorplan to show the layout at least of the front garden... hard to show it in 3D of course.
