i think the big blobs of silastic showing through will look a bit ugly
how do you plan to attach it to the walls

how about some context
is it in the roof of an old house?, what i think
in the paddock of a farm?

unfortunately with the timber shortage and boom in building this will be a problem
i have heard rumours that it is expected to improve near the end of the year

replace the curtains, carpets and repaint
took me a year to get rid of the smell

drain is part of easement and op's garden may not be the…

you may end up taking the whole wall down and roof framing

What the fark does a curtain have to do with a meter box location?
because of meter box location they thought it was the mail box:-D

when i built, i specified 6.5m from side boundary for future garage,
plans showed 6.5m
slab poured at 5.5m
housing guarantee said "not a structural issue, too bad, live with it"

that looks like final position to me
contact the builder, s/s and tell them you have instructed bank not to release progress payment as it is not built to contract
