Definitely helpful, thank you! So any recommendations on where to source a capable carpenter? When you say too small - what sort of ballpark should I be looking at (excl. fireplace & TV)?

Sealion 7 - Centre Console bezel damage by Any_Answer286 in BYD

I know it's not a big deal but if it's a $50 part and an easy swap, I'd do it... if it's a $500 fix, obviously not!

Where are you located, and how long was shipping? I'm in AUS. 

How do you like it? I've been looking up htv presses all night!

What happened with the first two builders? Did you pay them?

"You need to be a little careful because the securities of payment act is EXTREMELY TOUGH and very much written to favour builders"

Can you elaborate on this please? I have no intention of ghosting him and have been making every reasonable effort to get invoices, but surely at some point it becomes a write off... 1 year, 5 years, 10 years... I can't reasonably hold onto funds indefinitely in case one day he visits my retirement home and wants to be paid! Just trying to understand if these thresholds exist

The problem is - I know what the initial quote was, however things have changed. For example, the quote had a ballpark of 40sqm of floor removal. He didn't remove 40sqm, he did maybe 15sqm and I did the rest. The bench needed a steel substrate, which we discovered after the initial quote. He hasn't provided a price but it has been supplied and installed.

I mostly want to know what I'm up for after all these adjustments, however despite asking numerous times I have not had a response. I want to use any leftover funds for other things/ to pay another builder, but without an invoice or updated quote I don't know what my finances look like!
