We have a date...

Well we officially have a PCI (Final inspection) date of the 12th of April with a scheduled handover date of the 19th of April!!

We went up to the house on Sunday but there wasn't really much that had changed. A few more little things had been cleaned up and fixed but nothing significant. This week our Carpet is going in as well as the mirrors.

One thing I did notice which I hadn't before is there isn't actually a tap in the laundry.. There's taps for our washing machine and a sink but there's no tap going into the sink... Of course this could just be something that is still to be done but I still need to just double check on our plans to make sure there is actually meant to be one there...

A slight delay but good news...

I got a call from My Site Supervisor on Monday who advised that unfortunately we wouldn't be having our PCI (Practical Completion Inspection) This week like he hoped but it would be delayed until the week before Easter which means we are still about four weeks away from moving in and not the three that I was hoping for. We have been delayed because on a tiny issue to do with the tiles and plumbing in the En-suite shower which took an extra week to fix which has help up the other trades. I'm a tiny bit disappointed as I was hoping to move in over Easter but now it looks like our moving date will most likely happen the weekend after.

On the positive side all the finishing touches are being put on the house with all the plumbing, electric, SPLASH BACK, pantry/wardrobe shelving and garage door now put in as well as the all important pre-wireing for our surround sound system in the home theatre!

There's not much more to do now, just the carpet and little bits here and there which hopefully will be done quickly so there are no more delays. Cross your fingers for us that our PCI (Practical Completion Inspection) is before Easter!

Tiles....

I managed to find time to sneak up to the house thanks to the public holiday and found that all the tiles had been laid. It looks like there is only a tiny bit more work to be done cleaning up the grout and doing a few more finishing touches. So now onto the photos...

Everything on Friday at our site meeting went really well. It was great to meet our Site Supervisor, he is on top of everything with our house and it's obvious that he is completely in control of our build.
He said that our house should only take another 4 - 5 weeks to be finished and we will have the keys in our hands.

As well as meeting with our Supervisor we also took a quick look through the house. All the ceilings, cornices, internal doors and architraves have been painted. The cut in for the internal walls has been done, the front façade has finally been painted (Although the render hasn't been painted) and the external painting has been done. All of our cabinets and bench tops are also wrapped in plastic to protect them from the painting.

Not only have the painters been busy, but the water proofing had been done in the bathroom ready for the tilers to start and the tiles have been delivered! Not long to go now!!!
