Pre-handover Walkthrough

Today we met with our building supervisor for a walk through of the house to point out any issues that needed seeing to before our handover on 11 March.  The majority of issues were surrounding paintwork where other services had damaged and all areas were marked by Phil.

We also discussed the issue we had with the ensuite mirror being much too small and it sounds like PH are going to sort it at no cost to ourselves ..... fingers crossed!

We got to view the shelving that had been installed earlier in the week and it looks fantastic!  Really pleased with the space in both linen cupboards!

The block had also been tidied up outside and all rubbish removed .... getting close now!

Insect screens and shelving complete

Visited the house today and the insect screens have all been installed along with the shelving to the linen cupboards,  walk in robe and wardrobes. I wasn't able to get any new photos as they were finished for the day and the house was all locked up. Carpet cant be too far away!

Our building supervisor has requested us to do a walk through next Monday but trying to change that as its too difficult to get time off work .... especially with needing time the following week for the move.

We have a handover date! ...... 11th March

Very exciting news this week - we have been given our handover date of 11th March.  We are to meet with our Site Supervisor at 10:30am for the extensive handover appointment. 

Over the last few days the ducted air con has gone in, the glass splash back, vented skylight to office, door handles, towel rails and alarm system.  We also had the AV guys come back to wire for the extra speakers in the living and alfresco.

Shower Screens, Wardrobe Sliders and Mirrors in

I called into the house today to see that the shower screens had all been installed, along with the wardrobe sliders to Beds 2, 3 and 4.  The mirrors to the bathroom and ensuite are also in and the tilers have been to replace the tiles to the vanities where the plumbing was incorrectly placed.

Photos to come as I couldn't get any decent shots through the windows.......

Garage Door and Water Tank!

 It was a lovely surprise to arrive on site today (Sunday) and see the garage door on and water tank delivered!  The water tank looks huge!  We had to go for a larger sized tank due to our roof size .... I am sure we will be thankful for it when it comes to watering our new garden and filling the swimming pool! 

Lights and internal Plumbing fixtures are in!

 The Electricians have been working away over the last 2-3 days and are pretty much done.  They will have to return once the kitchen splash back is in to fit the under cupboard feature lights and also replace the external fan which is faulty and one LED.

Lighting Fitoff!

Tomorrow we meet with the electrician who will be starting the fitoff of all the lights, fans etc that we are supplying.  Very exciting!

Painting Complete .... Timber Doors Stained

We called into the house today and it looks like all the painting is complete.  There are a couple of areas that will need some follow up with the builder where you can see the the joins of the Gyprock underneath - but all in all it looks pretty good.

The timber stacker doors, front entry pivot door and pantry doors have all been stained and look fantastic!

The laundry door also has been painted.

We have been advised that the Electrician will be ready to put the lights in next Wednesday so we will be required to meet him onsite to hand over all our lights/ fans etc.

This week saw the start of our internal painting!  In one day the whole house had it's first coat of the colour we have chosen called "Grand Piano".  Two more coats to go and they anticipate being finished painting this week!  The doors have also been painted.
