Hob It

Went to the house yesterday to look at my beautiful tiles to find this thing sticking out of the floor, my initial thought was WTF is that???? I asked my SS what's that black thing sticking out of the bathroom floor, his reply it's a hob. A what???

We've asked for a fully frameless shower screen in the ensuite and a fully frameless panel for the other bathroom.

I guess when I asked for this variation I assumed that when you ask for a 'FULLY FRAMELESS' shower screen you don't need a hob, what the &%^^%*k do you need a hob for???? I assumed the hob is there for when you want a frame to put it on.

So now we have one bathroom without a hob for the frameless panel and we have another bathroom with a hob for the frameless screen with a pivot door.
So how can you get one right and one wrong?????

Not sure if EB has noticed this but I'm having the same tiles for both bathrooms, I'm having the same benchtop and the same colours and the same basin at least this is what I've ordered (lets hope this is what they've ordered too)....so can you understand my dilemma I'm all for consistency and symmetry.

It's only a hob but I think they are hard to clean, scum builds up around it, the grouting looks crap after a while. If the tiles don't get done properly they look ugly.

Hence my variation for a fully frameless shower screen.

Now I have no idea WTF I'm getting. I don't think this should be allowed. I'm not allowed to make changes as they charge me an arm and a leg to do so yet they seem to be able to change what the *&^&*k they like????? Not happy Jan

My SS told me that it would be better to have a hob as he has one in his house and that water will run everywhere with a frameless shower screen; he can have that opinion but it's not for him to decide what I have and don't have in my house that is for me to decide...and I really don't like these changes that I've not signed for.

First the horrible stickers on the glazing of the bifold doors - apparently this is required by law, ok will have to live with that; they should say that when you get the upgrade hey by the way they've got these ugly stickers on them do you still want to spend $3k on that???

Edit: They also had the electrical box on garage side on the plan but actually installed it on the other side. So not as per the plan...

Now the hob, what next.

Another thing I'm not happy about, we've asked for the tiles to be 1.2m silly me assumed that if you asked for this that the waterproofing would be done at this level too, apparently not they still do the standard. I thought the whole point of going high was to make sure you reduce the incidence of water damage. I guess it wouldn't matter how high they go if they stuff up the floor and don't do this properly - how come no-one checks this???? to make sure this was done properly???
