30.1.2014 Driveway and Alfresco

The driveway and alfresco is in the process of getting completed. Concrete is being poured tomorrow morning and it should be ready by this weekend, We are also meeting up with the blinds guy tomorrow to get the measurements done so we can then place orders for our blinds and plantation shutters. 

Next week we have electrician booked in to get all our light fitting and down lights installed so that would be a 2-3 day job. We have also started packing and moving boxes each time we visit our house so less moving in the end. 

25.1.2014 House Is Ours

Its such a good feeling that we have the keys and can enter the house at our own will. Our handover was real smooth as the house was all cleaned and the issues were all fixed up. There were not much issues to start off with so that wasn't difficult. I met up with the SS at 7.30 am did a formal walk checked the keys and few documents to sign , handed the final payment cheque and there we go the handover was done. Nothing much to do after that I went to work.

As our appliances haven't been installed yet our SS have booked a delivery and installation date for next week to get that signed off. Driveway and alfresco concreting is getting done next week and the land will be leveled aswell as the bob cat will be on the premises to dig the driveway so my driveway guy offered me to get it leveled with no cost. Electricians is also booked  for week after who will install all the light fittings and the down lights around the house. NBN connection is booked in for next week. Furniture delivery is the week after.We are meeting up with the blinds guy to get the shutters and blinds measured and also get the fly screens ordered.

Today I took my wife to see the house as she haven't been inside for a while. She was amazed as to how good  it looks and the end result is amazing.  Although the house has been cleaned it still need heaps of spray and wipe to get it sparkling. All the construction in the area doesn't help too when there's houses getting build all around. We have started to take boxes of stuff slowly but we wont be moving in straightaway as we want everything to be complete before we move in.  So this long weekend looks like we will be just packing and dropping boxes at our new home.

I got some pictures as I haven't had any for a while now.

23.1.2014 Handover Tomorrow!!!

The day we have been eagerly waiting for is here. Its been six long months since our build started and finally we have handover tomorrow and the house will be ours. Its such a nice feeling and so exciting looking forward to moving in to our new home really soon. yaaay!!!

15.1.2014 Bank Cheque Ready

So the PCI was meant to be some time this week but there has been no contact from my supervisor. The bank has done it's valuation and has released the cheque for the final payment. All I am waiting for is a final handover date so I can hand this cheque and get the keys.

I am all ready but mcdonald jones needs to speed up things. 

7.1.2014 PCI Next Week

So finally McDonald Jones are back from there Christmas and and New Years break. I got my  final payment invoice yesterday and I spoke to our Supervisor  in regards to handover date. He will be doing his walk with his Area manager this Thursday and hopefully next week I will have date for PCI which  is likely to be around Thursday or Friday next week. In the meantime I have organised my building insurance  and sent my final payment request to the bank.
