Monday this week was our handover.
I am so exhausted with this process and just completely written off. We have started to take a few things to the house this week and doing a few external bits and pieces like concrete pathway and fencing before we move in so our little furry child can come with us once we move completely.
Appliances go in tomorrow and someone from sentinel alarms should be there to install our ducted vacuum. I think it will start to feel much more surreal once we are sleeping there but never the less, feels amazing to know its all over and that we can start enjoying our home.
Anyone else who is building, good luck with the rest of your build or the start of your build wherever in the process you may be.
I will be uploading photos, sometime after we have all of our furniture in and after we start our landscaping.
Our pool should be starting hopefully by mid to late October.
Watch this space......

week 34: And it still continues............
And so, the never ending process of building is still continuing.
Week 34 - did our walk through and pointed out things that need to be fixed. Extremely unhappy with the paintwork as it looks like a five year old picked up a paint brush and painted everything carelessly. Our list was the below
1. Benchtop Markings need to be buffed.
2. Bottom of the doors need to be sanded and painted.
3. All blue taped areas need to be puttied and painted or sanded and painted.
4. Final clean needs to be done
5. Tile near the stairwell needs to be fixed.
6. Tiles in the main bathroom window sill needs to be laid.
Luckily, it was nothing structural and all cosmetic stuff that needed to be fixed. Anyways, our SS said that he would have the painters back to fix all the touch ups. (this was the day after our walk through). So we decided to head over to the house after the painter had finished and check it out. Needless to say - highly disappointed again. Walked in and looked up at the ceiling to find a huge blister mark in the paint near the down light. Anyways, I don't want to start because then I won't stop.
There has been other things that have been completed on site:
1. Gas installation.
2. Air-conditioning unit installed.
Our driveway is still to be poured - is actually due to be poured today however, they stuffed this up also. It was meant to be a double car driveway and they had only formed it up for a single. Over the weekend when we went to visit, it was still single so I hope they don't stuff it up and pour as the framework is now. They should have gone there to form up before the concreter goes there today but hey, I am not a tradie what do I know right......
SIGH feels like this is never ending and that we will never be getting our keys.
Oh and as per usual, post our walk through, they were quick to send the invoice!
Won't be paying until I am completely happy with the work done on the house, end of story.
Apparently, we are set to have handover on the 24th.. but like I said, I won't be accepting until all my problems with the place are put to rest.

Our walk through date has been finalised.
Thursday 13th September @ 3.00pm (which is the end of week 34)

This weekend was a very busy weekend for us as we arranged all of our final things that needed to be purchased like our Fridge, our mattress and we also ended up buying a recliner for upstairs lounge room as hubby really wanted one for his SPORTS watching days at home.

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 32: Site clean......
So, this week don't think much happened on site as we have not been in contact with our supervisor.
Hubby went to head office and spoke to some people to check on what was happening and apparently there are a few tradies who have to go back to patch things up. Not sure why we weren't really notified but whatever, like I said I am quite over it at this stage.
So, we went passed the house to see what was going on and the only thing we were able to see was that there has been a site clean up done, the carpenter was back to patch the fronts of the doors with small wood panels (not sure what the technical term is)..... and I think that is about it.
So, trying to forget the drama's with the house, we decided to go shopping. First we started at pool furnishings, then pavers and ended up in homeart shopping for recliners cause hubby wants them upstairs. Didn't really find many that we liked besides one in Harvey Norman which was grey and nice fabric that we both liked - didn't get a photo of it.
Anyways, below are some photos we got from the pool tiles, pavers to FIREPLACES.
Yes, we are thinking of doing a fireplace after we move in. Most likely not straight away as winter has now ended. I also saw an amazing room divider that I could use in the front room to match all our furniture!

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.

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
Anyway here are some photo's

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?

Week 27: Not much was done
Yep, one whole week went passed and not much else was done.
I think the painter went back to do a few things but other than that, we had the promise of shower screens and tapware but nothing..........
So very unfortunate.

Week 26: Kitchen Benchtop's & Bathroom Wall Tiles
I know I just gave an update for end of week 25 however, hubby was on site today to check on the build and sent me these photos which practically almost stopped my heart from excitement.
Monday - we have had the wall tiles started, kitchen bench tops went in AND PAINTING HAS STARTED!
One more bit of good news is that hubby spoke to the tiler today and he gave us an insight and said the main floor tiles are due to be laid in 2 weeks along with the carpet after all the inside finishing are done! Does this mean they are going to push to have all the mirrors all the screens. all the everything else done by two weeks? What?! Lets hope this is the case cause I just really need to be in my new home!
Its really starting to look like a home now and I am beyond excited.

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 24: Update from SS
Hi guys!
So hubby spoke to our SS yesterday and he said there is going to be a lot of progress done on the house within the next two weeks.
- Kitchen delivery & Installation.
- Bathroom Vanities delivery & Installation.
- Electrical cut outs.
- Doors to be fitted.
- Architraves to go on.
- Tiling begins most likely towards end of week 25.
How exciting!
I am pretty happy with this given that we have had so many weeks with no one on site, I feel like hopefully this will make up for it (if the tradies show up and do the work).
However, there is still so much to be done by us!
- We still need to choose our blinds/shutters.
- Still to choose our lighting.
- Still to purchase a new Fridge.
- Still to purchase a Washing machine.
- Still to purchase a dryer.
- Still to purchase my own ikea wardrobe!
The things we need to do before we move in are quite critical to me as we have a puppy and the fences need to be installed and there needs to be grass before we can move. I'm starting to fear that we won't have time as hubby works most weekends and cant really work on the house. Might need to ask some family members for some help.
How far am I in my packing stage? haha do not ask. So far all I've done is clear out my wardrobe of old a dingy clothes and clothes that I practically didnt wear.
Next steps for me would be to:
- Clean out my shelves!
- Pack my paintings and frames that we are not using.
- Go through my products (hair etc).
HOPING we have six weeks to go, I need to get my sh*t sorted. Eek.

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

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

Week 22: Waterproofing Complete!
Waterproofing was completed this week in upstairs and downstairs wet areas. Not much else was done. Staircase was meant to go in but I think they are waiting for next week for the tiling.
Pictures as promised!
