Update from Tues July 1, '08

Ok, a bit of an update.....

We received our call from the Handover supervisor "L" today. The final inspection is booked for Wednesday the 9th of July at 9am with settlement thereafter. Kevin will do another inspection either Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning with us to give us the go ahead and cover anything that requires further rectification.

"L" is working towards handover on Monday the 9th of July, but will still not commit until the end of this week. They have had tradies there everyday, which is great, but still its all a big rush at the end and we've already knocked back some of the work that they have done and said re-do it!!! I wont settle for any 1/2 done jobs!!!

"L" has been fine with my comments so far and is doing his best to keep me happy.

Time will tell. Worst case scenario - it will be Wed the 9th of July.


Ok well, the schedule is as follows (i warn you, take a deep breath now- cause its hectic!!!):

The balance will be moved in over the weekend.
Will move our one little doggie, Tiga, in on Monday so that he is not under our feet in the move....


I have found an ISP (Exetel) for our ADSL/VOIP service as ADSL2 is not available to us at this time. And that hopefully will be connected in a week or so (all going well?)

Working out the driveway timings is more painful....up to a 10 week wait for that, so hopefully we'll work something out soon enough....

Its all happening, a bit hectic so havent been on the forum much....
I enjoy this bit, i love the planning side of it. Just need to call up the Gas, electricity and Water providers and open the accounts and it's all done....i think????


Have i forgotten anything???

LOL, oh yeah and guess who has to get up early and get her butt down to the house at those times on those days (with the kids!!!!)

Ian's leave doesn't kick in till the Friday!!!!

Oh well, at least i'm used to supervising!!!! The tradies are going to love me!!!

LOL...i can just see it now......."eh hem....excuse me....i think you missed something over there, go back and fix it!!!!"
