On the home strecth......

It is all falling into place, this week the peices that were missing have all been getting completed.

Everything that was included in the promo at the time of  signing was installed, You seem to forget what was included and what wasn't, ie. taps, fly screen, mouldings. I think we were pretty lucky with the promo that was being offered at the time.

And to think just 6 months ago it all started from this colour selection we made up.(now it will go on the wall in the garage just as a reminder!)

Tomorrow is our P.C.I and its all pretty exciting, lets just hope theres not to many things wrong.

I guess this is nearing the end of my blog, i'll let you know how the P.C.I  went and when handover will take place.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are a few pics we were lucky to get while the cabinet maker was there.......

From months to weeks and now only days away.......

Its all happening and i feel like a little kid counting the sleeps.

 Our s/s has been organizing everything to be completed and its really great now that its getting close, a few let downs with the tradies damaging things that are all ready completed and having to redo jobs. Our p.c.i is booked for next monday and as our s/s is on holidays this week, but work is still getting done. Went for a drive today and painters where there finshing off everywhere there were little stickers.

Carpet was laid, tiles that were chipped were replaced, just awaiting the cupboard above fridge to be installed again for the third time!

Our splashback was installed also today but it with the wrong finish, so they had to come back and remove it and now will have to await for a new one to be installed so i hope this does not effect our p..c.i or handover.

Our fences will start to be installed tomorrow  also.

Here a few a pics, hope you enjoy and thankyou you for your nice messages.

                                         This is the way its coming along.............

The end is in site..................

Well its getting pretty exciting now seeing  the house coming together, it's seems so long since we had our colour selections that you actualy forget what we have chosen until you see it and think, we didn't do too bad.

Had a phone call last week from porter davis telling us that our s/s is moving on to another area, and he would no longer be looking after our property. we were pretty disappionted that after having a great s/s and with only 2 weeks to go it would be a shame that now someone else would take over and we would have to go thru everything again and hold everything up. But the manager we spoke with was really understanding and agreed that our s/s wanted to finish our home which we were rapted with.

this week the garage door was installed, all the staining of the windows,doors,stairs are being completed,carpet is being installed and painting is being completed also the plumbing fit off/storm water was also completed.(also got our final invoice).

Hopefully the next update will be about our PCI and our move in date.

Here a few pics.......

The countdown to P.C.I.

Well this week we got confirmation that we have PCI on the the 8th of october, and handover shortly after.

Things are on the move now, tiles have been finally laid, mirors installed and showers have begun to be installed.

Im actually starting to feel sorry for our s/s as the tradies make such a mess and damage what the previous tradesmen have completed, no wounder it slows things down. We went for a drive and noticed so many things getting damanged and now iv started to note things down to remember for the PCI. Its such a shame it just delays everything.

This week the plumbers are coming to do fit off, and organized with the plumbing contrator to move our outside water tap and meter as they are in the middle of our front pathway.

well only 3 weeks to PCI hopefully it works in our favor...........ill keep you posted......

 here are a few pics but the colour of the tiles have not come thru properly sorry.

A quick update.........

Things seem to be dragging out a little. The tiling has finally begun after waiting for the last two weeks for the tiler to start. He was not impressed with the levels of the ground floor so until it was rectifed he did not want to lay the tiles, so i commend him for his workmanship.

Our s/s has been fixing things that needed to be replaced that we were not satisfied with and has been busy doing other things that cannot be done inside as the flooring has slowed things down.

We meet up with our s/s last friday week and said he was looking at handover to be around the 6th of october, but i am now starting to doubt it. It is quite a shame as everything was going well until the tiling! But i guess a job well done is worth the wait.

Hopefully the next update will be more exiciting...........here are a few pics..............
