Frame UP

As you can see the frame is up, and we are starting to see the outline of our house.

Also the windows are supposed to be going in today.

So yes... the windows have been delivered.

Dilemma 1...... In the 'Indulgence Package' which we payed an extra $1,999?? for, it says three stacker door. However, A&L Windows have delivered a two stacker door. (Sliding door). This door is for the entrance from the alfresco into the living area/kitchen.

When we discussed this with Carlisle Homes, we were advised to read the 'small print' advising it says three stacker door as per display. Now the Madison display house only has the 'two stacker' door. So Carlisle Homes are ONLY referring to the 'as per display' and ignoring the one, two, three obviously! Perhaps they just cannot count?

Then we have Dilemma 2..... The window for the kitchen to the alfresco area..... A&L Windows have delivered just a normal two sliding/side window. However, in the display home it shows a window with two fixed sides on the right and left and then two sliding sections which open up from the middle to leave a large gap in the middle of this window. Instantly we could (I could) tell that this was not correct as it looked much smaller than the display window. Not to mention the completely different design. Due to the size difference this makes the alfresco 'appear' smaller. When discussed this with Carlisle Homes it was noted that the 'display home' window is much larger than our window delivered being 200 x 1810.

However, with this one... Carlisle Homes are willing to 'amend' the window for an extra cost of $408. This cost was advised by their 'sales' administration. Which we are reasonably happy with as this definitely opens up, not only the kitchen but the alfresco too.

The hole point of the door, the three stacker door opens up much larger. Where as the two stacker door only opens half way. However, the window to me is more beneficial!

We just spoke with Carlisle Homes and it has been confirmed that they will put in the 'better' window between the alfresco & kitchen free of charge.
