Week 32.1: Walk through Date

FINALLY!

Supervisor called hubby to let us know that our walk through is booked in for next week on the 13th September.

Feeling: Not sure, iffy, want to trust his word but because of let downs before, kinda skeptical that this will probably change. I want to be excited...... but... I feel like I shouldn't hold my breath.

Sigh.....

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 24.1: Kitchen is in!

Hi all,

I am very pleased to say that our kitchen is in! We decided this weekend we wouldn't go visit the block (only because we had a few things to do) annnnnd no, we didn't get a chance to go to Beacon lighting or select our blinds. I am a little scared now as we are probably going to be pressed for time

Anyway, hubby's brother stopped by the block as him and his wife are building very close to us and he called to say our kitchen went in this week! Unfortunately we don't really get thorough updates from the supervisor but thats okay as long as our build is going smoothly and things are actually progressing on site.

SS did tell us however that the guy who was doing the doors hurt himself (very sad) so I'm not sure if he will be continuing the job or if they will assign someone else to the job. I'm really hoping this doesn't hold us up any longer than all the delays we have had. I have been seeing on fb that many people have already received their keys to their home and I was so envious!

Soon enough I guess. This week is week 25, so there is 5 weeks left in our contract build time.
I really truly hope they can stick to this and just get it done.

Also, an update... our party wall was supposed to be rendered however it was covered in gyprock so we ended up getting a deduction on our total price as it was factored in on our contract. -$3k. I know its not much, but every cent counts right?

Here are some pictures below thanks to my brother in law :)

Week 23: WE HAVE STAIRS!

Can I get a hallelujah!

It is about time that we got our stairs!

Decided to do a drive by to the house on Sunday last week as our SS did not call us for an update. Went there and found that they had installed our stairs. Walkeda round the home as per usual to see if there was anything else that was different and they had made little cuts inside the gyprock as to where they would cut out the circles for the light fixtures.

Our doors were also delivered! So, without speaking to our SS I am going to ASSUME that the doors should be going on this week, and the electrical cut outs should be happening also.

Di Lorenzo had notified us to let us know that the tiles we chose for our bathroom were out of stock which was a great big bummer but we got over it and chose new ones. The lady who served me at Di Lorenzo also told me that our site was released for tiling mid July which I am hoping by then we will have our kitchen and bathroom deliveries.

It's getting close now and I can taste it!

Really just want to move innnnnnnn
