Nearly at PCI!!

Hi everyone,

Well it's looking like our house will hopefully be ready for PCI at the end of Oct or maybe even be earlier than I thought! According to contract our house is meant to be handed over by the end of Oct. All is going to plan!

Yesterday I spoke to my wonderful SS who I will no longer be dealing with :-( He has been absolutely wonderful & feel very lucky that most of our build has gone very smoothly. No real big issues with house only prior with site!! Thanks SS, can't mention name due to legal reasons. But I know he is still Supervising houses in the north area! Hold onto him PD.

Our house has now been given to a construction manager prior to settlement! My husband will be meeting him Monday morning to go thru house & set an actual PCI date. I'm speculating that we will most likely move in mid nov! I have also organized for a final independent inspection for next Friday morning!

On a happy note when I drove by last night I saw that our carpet has started to be laid! And tonight i could see thru the master bedroom that my shelving/ robes had been fitted! Site has been cleaned around the house too :-)

Left to be done:
- portico render to be painted, garage plaster roof to be painted & above garage door.
- electrical fit offs
- floating timber floor to most of downstairs
- mirrors & basins in bathrooms & powder rm? Can't see upstairs! Same with toilets?
- kitchen handles changed to correct ones chosen.
- paint touch ups.
- door fittings - handles

See pic below of carpet! Looks darker than I remember but am happy with my choice.

Tiles & splashback - Wk 31

Hi everyone,
Well tiling progress is happening :-)
I did notice one mistake! My bathroom feature tiles are meant to go right across! This will need to be fixed! As I upgraded the mirror to go all the way across, so it will look silly if not changed!

Kitchen handles still have not been changed, this will hopefully happen soon! in discussion with PD about this ATM!

Very happy with how it is all looking though, tiler has done a great job! My red splashback has been installed too :-) See pics below!


Red splashback - love this!

Hi everyone,
Drove past the house for my usual weekend visit but didn't go on site as the painters were in the house!

Hopefully next time I have a peek thru the windows inside we are all painted!
