Getting closer to the finish line!

With all the wild weather we have had earlier this week. We have lost power at home & our business. 

So Rob decided to stop past the house yesterday to see if we had any damage & had a quick look through while he was there (this was his first look through the house since lockup). Luckily all looked good & he could not see any water leaks.
He said the tiler had finished the powder room & the main bathroom & the laundry had been redone with the right tiles. The tiler was starting on our ensuite & should be finished by next Wednesday. 

Rob didn't think to get many photos & only come home with a few of the main bathroom. He also rang our supervisor & we will more than likely have the keys in 4 weeks or sooner. I'm doing the happy dance at the moment the end is nearly here. Then the fun bit starts organising our tiler & finally deciding what we will do with the flooring upstairs. Just waiting on quotes for solid timber floorboards to be laid.

Any way enough babbling here are some photos Rob took yesterday.





UPDATE 28/4/15
We have an estimated date 21/5/15. Just over 3 weeks away.

Kitchen Inspection

I met up with our supervisor this morning to inspect the house they are doing a fantastic job so far.

I found one issue with our tiles in the laundry we changed these & our powder room to Affinity Grey but our sales person put down Affinity Grey in the powder room & Affinity Ash in the Laundry. I was so upset I could have cried when I saw it.

So after I left the house I went to Tiles Direct & spoke with our sales person. She spoke to her manager & they will be ripping out the wrong tiles & replacing them with the tiles we wanted. Lesson learnt double check what has been put in writing before signing.

Stairs are looking good. I can't wait to see them stained.

A peek through the window...

I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend. We went on a road trip to Broken Hill to visit our friends. We had a awesome time catching up & exploring.



On our way I had a call from Allworth requesting the wall lining payment & the kitchen payment so I said I would ring the ss for an inspection.

I'm looking forward to inspection but I'll have to wait as when I rang our ss today he said the kitchen had not been completed & recommended I wait until it was finished. He is going to call me to organise an inspection when it is completed & he will also ring head office to tell them to hold off asking for payment.

I also got an update the tiler was starting today & will be there for 2 weeks. 

The carpenter will be back on Friday & will complete downstairs. Upstairs is completed.

We also have stairs!!

I was so excited I left work early today in hope of seeing the tiler there but by the time I got to the house he had gone :(

Here's a few photos I took today sorry about the glare through the windows.
