Update from Mon 16th June '08

Hey everyone, sorry have been taking some time out lately....so have been a bit tardy with my updates.....

We spent last Sunday down Williamstown way. So heres some pics of our lovely city from the other side of town:

Work on-site has been a little slow...
so no real need for updates either...


BUT.........

We have been issued with our Certificate of Occupancy which is great!!!!
Sending that off to the bank tomorrow, just waiting on the final invoice to arrange a settlement bank cheque.

The house officially is being passed over to the Handover Dept tomorrow (17/6) and they will be in touch with us in the next few days to arrange an inspection day/time.

But we thought we'd move things along a bit and have arranged Kevin to come in and do his independant inspection this Thursday (19/6)- independantly of the Handover dept.

The house has had another internal clean and site clean....but it still looks messy outside and there are still some building materials on-site, so we will see.....

By getting Kevin in earlier we will be able to have our report in our hands for the inspection walk-through.... and we will be getting Kev back in again once any touch ups have been done just to make sure everything is spot on. Therefore there shouldn't be any unnecessary delays leading up to settlement.

We've picked a few things already, but we'll leave it up to Kevin to see what he picks as well. The toilet in the ensuite has been moved (we have requested an engineering report on that for our records as well, since the slab was broken and repaired to facilitate the move), all tiling completed, re-plastering and re-painting done, they still need to re-do the render which after reading Louies thread i will be interested to see how that goes. Some damaged cladding requires replacing and general things, but nothing really major that we can see at this point in time.

Getting a little more excited, but still not sure on any sort of handover date as yet!

Anyway, here are some current pics of the house for you:

And the inside (all nice and clean):

Anyway, probably no updates until later this week....
but hoping to have some good news soon!!!!
