update after today's visit

Hi everyone,
Well the right side of the house has had the bricking complete. Only thing left is the garage to be finished & the sheeting that goes on the bk of the house. Bi fold doors to go in & we are then at lock up!
Did a quick scan and all items from the NHI report with framing has been fixed. Thanks to my SS :-)
The ducted vac points have also been installed 3 downstairs (in lounge, living & rumpus, sweeper in kitchen) with the sweeper & 2 upstairs (next to linen cupboard & in master bedroom)
Only thing that I can c that needs fixing is my entry light switch to the master bedroom needs to be wired to the entry as it's currently wired to the balcony light switch lighting.
Pretty happy, can't wait for the plaster to go up! Hopefully insulation goes in next week & we r at lock up!

Update at day 145 / wk 20

Hi everyone,
Did my usual weekend visit today. I can't believe we are already at day 145!
Contract is for 260 days, so hopefully in 120 days (4 months we are in!!November!!)
Bricking is nearly complete, so lock up will not be to far away. 
Noticed that our cooling & heating has been put in (big pipe things roughed in). Laundry door, garage entry door & temp front doors to entry have been fitted.
Update from my SS last wk was that electrician should be working tomorrow to do electrical work & he believes that we should be at lock up soon!
I also booked in my pre-plaster inspection for Wednesday morning with NHI, let's hope it's all perfect!  So it is moving! Lol

Bricks 1st floor & back yard battened

Hi everyone,
Finally bricking continues ;-) and backyard battened. See pics below

Scaffolding up & update!

My hubby drove by the house & said the scaffolding is up at the front of the house & bricks have been delivered.
My SS emailed me mid last wk & said that the scaffolding was going up & bricking would continue next wk :-)
Yippee!!
On a sad note my 3rd customer service rep has left PD!
Hopefully I'm signed a new one shortly! She was very good like the last 2! High turnover in staff! Here's also hoping my SS doesn't leave his been very good so far ;-)
Also reviewing my plans, which I do to much. Im always wishing I had done this or that I noticed that the pantry shelving all looked the same. Well luckily I spotted this because we paid to upgrade one shelving to a laminate bench! PD had that fixed on my plans quick smart because it's on my contract! Any other changes I have requested it's a flat no :-(
I also notified PD that my neighbours behind us are moving in & our boundary fencing was going up in the next few wks. We needed the backyard battened as it's a huge drop & they wouldn't have access after fencing goes up.
My SS quick smart has organized for this to be done. :-)
Hopefully next week can post some pics of first floor bricked!

Not much happening!

Hi everyone,
Did our weekend visit & no real action besides they finished our bricking on ground floor & garage. No pics, I've put heaps of pics of the bricks up already! Lol
Hopefully scaffolding goes up this week and they begin first floor next week!

Balcony bricked & update!

We did our visit to our site this morning & rapt to see our balcony/portico bricked! They have also half bricked our garage! See pics below!

I also had our CSR update me on Wednesday at whats happening! Ground floor bricks are planned to be cleaned this Wk & then scaffolding should go up week after! Due to our neighbours garage brick retaining wall the brickies will be bricking the house next door & doing the garage retaining wall before our scaffolding can go up!

Another update I went thru our electrical plan & decided to add 2 more external lights! As originally I had 2 fancy lights, 1 on left hand side of front door & left side of balcony! (stupid really) have decided to add a std light under portico or above front door & in the eave or above the balcony door & put the 2 fancy lights on the balcony/ portico pillars. Like pic below!



Also on another note read on someone's blog that their balcony/ portico leaks so I checked with our CSR & ours are tiled :-). So far all good!

Let's hope they brick our neighbours house quickly so they can finish ours!
