Week 31: Glass blocks, Pantry Shelving and Kitchen Splash back

So its WEEK 31 and there has only been three things that have been done in ONE WHOLE WEEK.

Sigh, you can imagine my frustration at this stage.

1. Glass blocks for granny flat done
2. Pantry shelving completed
3. Kitchen Splash Back in.

Still to be completed:

1. Door locks
2. Rest of the light switches and powerpoint caps need to be placed on.
3. Rails for bathrooms need to be completed.
4. Laundry tub needs to go in.
5. Laundry shoot needs to be cut out
6. Linen & Walk in robe shelving
7. Aircon Unit
8. Carpet
9. Driveway

I feel like this damn list is never ending. Realistically we should be in by now, but who knows when that will be cause our supervisor hasn't been in contact with us for almost TWO WEEKS.

Yeah I can't wait until this is over. To be honest, I am more over it than excited. It sucks.

I don't have pictures this week cause I refuse to give them free marketing this week for only doing THREE things on the list of many to be done. Almost two weeks over the contract date. Wonder what the excuse is this time.........

Week 30: Garage Door, Water unit and Glass Blocks

This week we are 100% through contract time. The builder says they always allow 3 weeks after contract date for public holidays, wind days and rain days. Whatever. Just cannot wait for this to end so we can move in!

Anyways, this week saw the completion of the below:

- Garage Door
- Painting
- Water Unit
- Glass Blocks for Granny Flat (somewhat). So this is a little bit of a tricky one, they went to put the glass blocks in and found it didn't fit so, they left it as is. No word from Supervisor....... nothing.

Cannot wait for this to end!

So hopefully the following week will see the below completed:

- Rails for bathrooms
- Door Locks
- Laundry Tub
- Laundry Shoot Cut out
- Linen/Pantry and Wardrobe Shelving
- Splashback
- Driveway
- Carpet

SS says handover by next week but I don't see how!?
Also another issue, we thought we selected white for the cladding............ to match the garage door...... guess I'll have to double check the paperwork.

Week 29: Shower Screens, Mirrors, Alarm & Main Floor Tiling

Week 29 saw most things being done which was kinda taking ages to do.

The below are what has been completed: 

- Shower Screens
- Mirrors
- Alarm System
- Ducted Vacuum Fit out
- Patching for Final Coat of Paint
- Main floor tiling
- Alfresco Tiling done
- Feature Tiling done

Still to be completed: 

- Rails for Bathrooms
- Door Locks
- Garage Door
- Laundry tub to go in
- Laundry shoot still to be cut out
- Electrical - some light switches still need to be done
- Shelving in pantry/linen/wardrobes
- Final coat of Paint
- Glass blocks in Granny Flat
- Carpet
- Driveway
- Kitchen Splash back

I feel like there is still so much to do!
Contacted our SS today and he said he has started our handover procedure and will contact us as soon as he knows of a handover date. As per usual.... not wanting to commit to a date.

Below are some photos!

12. WIR Shelving
13. Driveway
14. Kitchen Splashback
15. Final Coat of paint
16. Main Floor Tiling
17. Second Floor & Stairs Carpet

I feel like there's really not much to be done and yet WH wants to have handover in 4 weeks. Just seems like a heck of a long time. Not looking good. We probably won't be able to be in the house by my birthday and even after handover, we will still have SO much to do!

This list below reflects our plans post handover: 

1. Concrete around the house to create a path all the way around.
2. Need to get plans made for the pool we want to build ASAP.
3. Once these plans are through, dig and fill with concrete.
4. Pave the area around the pool.
5. Fencing
6. Small veggie patch
7. Flower garden at the front near the three windows.
8. Pebble the front instead of grass.
9. Vertical flower garden near the alfresco area
10. Build a shed for tools etc.

I feel like this list is really never going to end. Seems futile to resist the challenges we are going to face at this point. Not to mention how much money it's going to cost. Mood: Bleh

Week 28: Baths and Toilets

This week has seen our baths and toilets gone in, upstairs floors have been sanded for carpet..
So far that is what the house stands at. Oh and I believe the garage door will be going on as well.

Also should mention, the glass blocks that are meant to be going in the granny flat bathroom; we have ANOTHER issue. Hubby has to go back and make the opening bigger because oh what do you know, wrong measurements were given to him. There comes a point during your build that when you get these types of news, all you can do is just laugh.

SS called us and said walk through with THEIR boss will happen smack bang on week 30.

This is whats in store for us

Week 29: Locks on doors and other small stuff to happen
Week 30: Main floor tiling and carpet (Walk through with Wisdom SS's boss)
OVER TIMELINE
Week 31: Anything that needs to be fixed up will be done this week as per boss's advise.
Week 32: Our walk through.
Week 33: Hopefully Handover.

Lets see how things progress.

Not too happy about going overtime but whatever, at this point I am just not feeling it anymore. So disappointing cause this is meant to be something everyone should look forward to.
WELL NO, not anymore. So exhausted of the whole process and emotional roller coaster.

Anyway, hopefully it will get better and things will just flow from here. Don't want to give myself false hope but hey, if you don't have hope, what do you have right?
