Practical Completion Inspection...

We had our Practical Completion Inspection on Friday. Unfortunately Pete was unable to get the afternoon off so I went to the house without him and did the inspection with our Site Supervisor. There were a lot of paint touch ups and a few minor things with the only major issue being that the Laundry bench top is still an outstanding problem which is a bit of a worry but that is all we are really waiting on now. Hopefully this doesn't delay our move.

 Laundry Bench :(

Mirrors, shower screen and fly screen...

Now that the house is so close to being officially finished there are only very minor things to be done. Our mirrors in the bathroom and en suite have been fitter along with the shower screens in both rooms, the front door has finally been painted and the fly screens to the windows and doors have been fitted.
It looks like the fly screen has been forgotten on the double glass sliding door that leads out to the outdoor area but our SS is ordering them and they will most likely be fitted after handover.

We are having a bit of an issue with the laundry sink. Unfortunately the tape doesn't work with the sink so a new sink needed to be fitted. The wrong sink was delivered so a second, bigger sink was delivered. This also didn't fit so the hole in the bench top was cut bigger... To much bigger... so now a whole new bench top has been ordered. Hopefully it can be fixed quickly as the last thing we want is for our settlement to be held up because of a tiny thing like the Laundry sink!

Render, Carpet and lights...

The house is now only a couple of weeks away from being ready and is looking great. The carpets have been done and the front render has finally been finished. over the next week the last clean will be done, mirrors and shower screens will be fitted and the final paint touch up will be completed. With a bit of luck everything will go smoothly over the last few weeks and we will be able to move in on settlement day which is still on schedule for the 19th.

We headed to Beacon lighting on Saturday and pick up all of our lights that we purchased on boxing day, luckily we still like them all... although we have had to do a little bit of a reshuffle as one of the light fittings isn't where we thought it was going to be, we have been able to make it work.
