Update

I have been busy with work and away overseas so updates have been non existent. So I will try and cover off some things that have happened. There have been some issues or minor problems. They have either been sorted out or will be soon but explaining them might help others.

So just before Christmas we received the frame invoice. I dropped by and had a look around and noticed a few things that didn't seem right.

On all the door frames they use a ply wood that is much stronger than normal wood. I kinda thought everyone knew this but speaking to a few male friends they had no idea what I was talking about so I will explain it just in case.

Normal wood is strong against the grain and weak down the grain. which is why you can split fire wood only one way. With ply wood they slice up the wood in thin strips and glue them all together crossing the grain of the wood over back and forth, which makes the wood strong in all directions and much stronger than a natural piece of wood the same thickness.  here is a picture

The two pieces on the left are normal wood and the piece on the right is ply wood, which you attach the door to. 

I noticed that this ply wood was on all door frames except one bedroom. 

The second thing I noticed was that half the garage frame wasn't done and a few other areas didn't seem finished either. 

I rang the SS and asked about the ply wood missing and he gave me alot of engineering jargon before he realised I knew what I was talking about and then informed me the frame wasn't actually finished after all and would be finished in the next few days. 

He also said that the way that garage connects to the house the rest of the frame needs to be done , hebel put on and then  the rest of the frame of the garage will be completed. That all made sense to me and wasn't an issue (except for the fact that I turned up yesterday and that part of the frame is now complete without any hebel going on, so not sure that was true either)

We got an email asking why we hadn't paid and i informed them that the frame wasn't finished and i wasn't paying until it was actually finished. its seems as if the frame is now finished (we were told it was finished on the 8th January)  and the ply wood issue has been fixed on that door. All the bits that looked unfinished seems to be finished now.
