Wow!!! We're at Lock up stage!!!!

Hmmm it's been a few days since my last update and things have just fallen into place.

We have had the electrician in and we're all wired up,
External doors are on and locked!!! :-(
Insulation and sound-proofing is in,
Eaves are on,
Roof tiles have been pointed,
Bricks have been cleaned,
Heating/cooling in,
Site cleaned,
Downpipes on:




Our plaster was delivered today:

Solar panel on today (but needs to be re-located....its in the wrong spot....LOL....but no big deal...)
and they rendered first coat on the feature section around our master bedroom today :


We also had our pre-plaster inspection on-site today and we called in the "infamous" Kevin McDonald from New Home Inspections.

( www.newhomeinspections.com.au )

This gentle giant was fantastic, we spent about 1-3/4 hours going through things with "D" and Kevin has advised that he will have his report to us before Tuesday next week. My recommendation to anyone building or buying a new home....call him!!! He's worth his weight in gold!!!!

Here's Big Kev in action (in the red) with "D":

I must say that our S/S "D" and our CSR "T" have been great. The issue with the centering of the front door was fixed within 24 hours!!!! What a fantastic effort!!!! Thanks Henley!!! We're very happy with the service we're getting....

"D" really is on top of his guys and we really are lucky to have a great team working with us to build our new home...

The house is looking great and we hope that the current pace continues now that we're at lock-up and we are moving into our home soon...

The next job will be the colorbond cladding above the render on our master bedroom,which is being installed next Tuesday. We are getting the cladding in Jasper and it will look like this (this is the only other house that we know of in Melbourne with our same facade....except theirs is rendered:



The final prep. for plaster will be done next week. Then the plaster and cornices go up and woo hoo we're one big step closer to packing our stuff and movin' on in!!!!!

So how's that for a full on update????

Stay tuned for more!!!!
