PCI

We had our PCI on Friday of last week, the 8th of Feb, with handover hopefull this Thursday 13th Feb (so long as our bank is organised!)

There were no major dramas with our house, we have been addressing them along the way and they have been fixed along the way.

There were many paint touch ups, as well as wall clean ups, so lots of post it notes. The other things were:

• tile chipped in ensuite
• basin not centered in bathroom
• mortar a different colour under bathroom window
• pencil marks on floor where the bolero was measured up
• garage floor to be cleaned of paint spills and concrete blobs

we were also concerned re an obvious line in the carpet, but our supervisor assured us that this would go down over time. 

So all in all we were pretty happy with things. 

Looking forward to getting the keys and starting to move in from this week. Though the removalist wont come for a few more weeks as we want to get the shed and the drive way/crossover done first. Otherwise we would have a heck of a lot of mess in our new home!

One week until handover

Its nearly here! one week to go. Wow its been a long time coming, but the end stages have gone rather quickly, i think.

a nice clock i found in Kmart of all places. I usually dont like buying from there due to ethical reasons, but i cant find a clock like this anywhere else, so i'm a hypocrit :(

Resolved Brick Issues

Some people have been asking how things have gone with our bricks since our posts with the horrible error in the mortar. PD got a company called Nawkaw in to stain the mortar, its not a perfect job, but its MUCH better.

Bolero Flooring- Rustic Nougat

Well the flooring started... and finished today!!!! and there was a clean up of the house. cant be long now!

Different lighting meant very different colours in the photos

PLUMBING

So at 745 am i got a call from our supervisor, he is very on the ball!!!

He asked if i could meet with the plumbers today to let them know where i/we wanted the taps to go as we now have oval basins, not round.

At ten i went to meet with the plumbers but not before i found my lost car keys (in a shopping bag from last night in the pantry of all places!).

When i got the house the plumbers had already done so much work!!! check it out..

our pretty kitchen :) loving the under cupboard lights!

woohoo! my husband's choice! he wanted one at our last place. Much cheaper to do during the bulid though!

1700mm bath! i thought the cutout was too small, but apparently it fits.

Swing away taps, kinda cool. Didnt realise we would get them! but i do think the taps would have been better on the other end so we didnt have to reach beyond the cabinet

even the kitchen sink!
