The date is set!

I recieved a call from our ss yesterday afternoon & he has told me our hand over date will be the 5th June. This is about a week too late for our tiler so we are still looking for one. 

The kids were in the car with me when I took the call & once I was off the phone everyone was screaming with excitement.

I've organised for our blinds & security doors to be measured up that afternoon & our tiles to be delivered.

We have already started getting quotes for our driveway & hopefully will have that done before we move in.

We are now counting down the days until we get our keys.

I'm hoping they will fix the brickwork where the pipes are coming out of the walls & also put the vent on the outside wall where we have the ducting for the rangehood.

Not happy with the way this pipe looks

We have also noticed that the vertical brick lines do not line up in certain areas. Which is quite annoying. If we had of been allowed to have a building inspector on site maybe we could have resolved this issue earlier.

We haven't been in since just after the kitchen went in so I think I'll ring my ss for a walk through before our handover walk through. At least we might be able to address some of these issues before handover & see if there is any issues inside. Otherwise we are quite happy with our house.

Handover Date?? Maybe??

I haven't posted in awhile as there hasn't been much happening. The painters started last Wednesday 13th May they are still going. Our ss said they will be finished next Thursday 28th May.
I stop past the house every afternoon & do not see any painters there yet I drive around the corner & notice painters at the display home being built.

Well I spoke to our ss again today & have been finally given a estimated handover date of 5th June. Note I said "estimated date" as we still have to wait until sometime next week for him to call us & give us a confirmed date. If you haven't noticed yet I'm so over it now.

This has now caused problems with our tiler who will not be able to do our job. Before we booked in the job with our tiler we spoke with our ss over a month ago & he said they would be finished by the 21 May in plenty of time for our tiler to start on the 1st June.
Tomorrow we will have to start ringing around for tilers again. It's going to be hard to find a good tiler to start in around 2 weeks.

If anyone can recommend a tiler on the Central Coast please leave a name & number.

Final Invoice

Our final invoice arrived yesterday in the mail & via email. We are still a few weeks off from getting the keys as the painters was supposed to start last Tuesday 5th May but one of them had pneumonia & will now start this Wednesday. So nothing has happened for the last 2 weeks. It's very frustrating when we are so close to the finish line.

Our ss can not give us a new date of completion which is going to cause problems as our tiler as he needs to start by the 1st June. So now I need to start looking for a new tiler as a back up.
