Major set back today. After all that hard work started looking like I could finally get council inspection done soon. Unfortunately today the gas man came with gas compliance certificate. Now here in Australia we have someone checking on the gas fitter (plumber) called ESV (energy safe victoria) Who also has to issue me a compliance plate as well. Well it started out ok needed little things which had a solution like puting a notice on a vent which has fly wire on it. (Vents must be regulary cleaned) - Cut a second hole in gas container - join a pipe underneath hole and lead it away from the front facing to the back of van.
Then HWS fleu too close to the opening of the back door. Yer sure - didn't realise that you could get Carbonmonoxide poisioning with large doors opened from that HWS Anyway not to bother he found a little solution for that to. I MUST put a plastic cover to fill the gap between door and van body inside.
Then my plumber puts the shut off value behind a wooden wall, now I am expected to make a littlte hatch. Right heading on, The fridge!
As the seals where not permanently sealed on the fridge with sikaflex and only sealed via the closing of the side door. He doubted it's function and said NO the fridge had to go. So to take fridge ou I had to brake all seals and 2 walls. I will chat with him again tomorrow via the phone and abuse the SHI......T out of him.
Only joking - I am imagining a stratagy which he may agree to. So I will discuss this with him just incase I can't get a refund on the 182 ltr Thedford. Crossed fingers on this - wont slepp or sleep until it's over what ever the outcome. This is just the beginning. Council inspection I can see things they might like pick on.
Just needed to tell you - by the way I rang ESV to find out what happens. All before inspection takes place. Get this. I was told that useally 1 or 2 appliances must be taken out and changed. Make sense! Make money, and keep them in a job.
Then the plumber says I must get the compliance certificate back.
