    I also think you are correct in that it would look much better and give a straight line at the level of the floor around the house.
    It might also help with little issues like that circled.

    If there is another minor detail I would comment on its the width of the "bearers" used under the wood floor.
    If they had been made a bit wider then then nails at the ends of the planks could have been a little further from the ends of those planks.

    When you check the snag list what do you do when you get to the half of the house that has not started yet?

    Well...that could be difficult I guess ootai!!

    For us the contract is worded a little in our favour.

    He has to finish the house, i.e complete stage 8 which is 'completion of the house' and that completion has to be agreed by both parties and then we all 'sign off' to confirm that completion.

    Only then. does the 6-week snag list period start. Even if there is on the face of it, there is only 1 snag and he rectifies in in the first week... he still has to wait for the 6 weeks to finish, in case something else crops up.

    Again we all agree and sign off on the snag list - only then does he get the retention money
