In and loving it....still lots to do.

Day 265 - Moving in slowly - more post build installations happening.
Since getting the keys over 1 week ago, we have had our carpet laid, Evap cooling installed along with the Solectair - Solar heating unit.

The phone is now connected , just waiting for iiNET to do their thing with the ADSL connection.

The still to do list is quite large, never seems enough time on the weekends.

Keys secured...packing the first load. In we go.

Day 246....After a nervous morning, the bank came through with the final payment cheque, the keys obtained from the builder.  Now for the big move, we have the luxury of moving slowly - I'm glad.
More photo's soon.....

Handover looming - can it all be ready.

Day 236 of  240.

With Handover in sight now, only a few items to complete from the PCI and the last week. From outside all item,s appear to have been fixed.  The retaining wall almost finished. The building inspector wanted a few extra expansion joints in the brickwork - these are almost complete and soon to be re inspected.




If  a builder tells you they can build a house in 20 weeks - don't believe them.  Double it and then take away a few weeks and you will be surprised.

 Some temporary steps ( to gain occupancy ) outside the East side Doors. Decking will go here in the near future from the leftover funds - ha ha..



Friday is a Big day - I'm expecting them to give us the Occupancy certificate by then, it's up to the bank to make the final payment and that's it - we will be finished. !!
All that left is to move in and enjoy !!
More soon >
