Update from Mon 2nd June

Sorry everyone, theres been no need for updates cause the house is moving along REALLY SLOWLY NOW!!!!!!

Those lovely red dots have been sitting there looking pretty for about 2-3 weeks!!!

So what has been done on-site?

The toilet has been moved, but the tiling still needs to be grouted and the plaster wall around the tap (which had to be moved as well) requires repairing:



The mixer tap plumbing has been changed on the spa, but the plaster and tiling patch jobs are yet to be done too. This is the front view:


This is how they got access from the room behind:



Here are some better pictures of the splashback in the kitchen. The colour looks a bit bland, but with the s/s rangehood and cooktop it should break it up a bit:






The meter box internals have been wired up now, the site now needs ANOTHER clean as does the inside of the house....but this is what it still looks like:





So anyway, we met with our new C/M - "G" and our S/S - "D" this afternoon, to have a look at the past couple of weeks work and try and get that all elusive handover date!!!!!

So what we were told was, that the required 10 days notice was being given to the Handover dept tomorrow (Tues 3/6), then they (the S/S and his crew) have 10 days to fix everything before it goes to the Handover dept. Then they go through it with a fine tooth comb and we have our 1st inspection with Kevin and then depending on what Kevin finds, it would be another 2 weeks minimum before actual handover....

BOY......... IT'S SOOOOO PAINFUL!!!!!

So.......we're estimating that we're STILL looking at another 4 weeks........minimum!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know little things are being done, but still there is so much to do and so little has been done in the past 2-3 weeks....it seems like such a waste of time.

Anyway, i'm not in the mood to argue at the moment....we'll see how it goes....
Even the neighbours are asking "how much longer can it be????"


Our ETA on our blinds is the 12-15th of June, so we'll be sitting on those for a bit it seems, the carpet and timber has been ordered and once we have a handover date we can book them in too. We need to make a decision on the driveway this week....

*sigh* Everything else is arranged, now we only need the house!!!!
