Things that make you go Hmmm

First a progress picture.

Love the way the colorbond roof and the gutter and fascia look.

Really excited to get to the block and see that about a third of our roof has been installed. Not so thrilled to discover that there is no weather wrap under the colorbond. A quick phone call to our out-of-action SS (he has done his back) and he tells us that weather wrap under the roof is an optional extra. What the ...? We're planning a quick call to the Plumbing Industry Commission tomorrow. Wade and a bunch of his mates are all plumbers and they all agree that there should be sarking under the colorbond, however they can't be absolutely positive that it's a regulation and not just something that is strongly recommended (and just good practice/service).

Love the look of the half round guttering

The most frustrating part of this is that we were never given the option. At no time was this raised. I went back and looked right through all the information given to us prior to our selection appointment and it wasn't on the checklist or any information provided in the kit. It was also never raised during our selection appointment - although that is hardly surprising given our consultant rushed us through in just over 2 hours, was completely disinterested and didn't know how to navigate to, or around, the Studio M website.

So if it's a regulation, then the roof will come down and the sarking will be installed. If not, then we have been told the house is too far along for us to make any changes including installing a bigger hot water service, so I assume sarking will be out of the question!
