walls and ceilings

At this stage our roofing is finally complete, this includes eaves and infills. We have done our pre-sheeting inspection last friday with the addition services of Howard Ryan building inspector. Everything was good, although a few things were outstanding. At this point we were advised by Howard, that if we were to wall mount any flat screen unit above 40" our wall frame would require blocking for reinforcement. I wish firstyle had told us this at the sales consultation. So the incomplete stuff included missing tripple grip on one of the trusses, incomplete shear blocking for ensuite wardrobe, and uncleaned weep hole in the brick work. Anyways i don't think Firstyle would rectify any of these problems unless it doesn't meet Australian building standards. We are still waiting for confirmation about the wall blocking. friday they were finishing off the electrical rough-in. And supposedly the insulation guys were coming in at 10am. We checked in the afternoon, insulation work only half completed. Well today we checked out the house and gyrock work has begun, pretty much the first level is walled and ceiling in gyrock. Except for the powder room, looks like they have run outta fibro for one of the walls and the laundry partition wall. No actual work on the edges and cornices have comenced. And looks like they will need another delivery of gyrock. That itself will probably take up one day of construction.
