Week 15 through 17

We are now at the FIXING STAGE!!!

Met with the SS on Thursday 8th March and the bricks were being acid washed and look amazing! We thought they looked great dirty so we were was pleasantly surprised. The guy seemed like a bit a pain in ... as he had to stop while we walked throught the garage and gave me a dirty look!

But got over that when I asked our SS when does he think PCI would be and he said the end of the month! I then asked when is handover after that 2 weeks he said 1 week! We both were very happy to hear. He did say the vandalism did set us back as they couldn't paint because they had to fix the plaster which will be completed by Tuesday 13th March and then start painting:)


He also said one of us will need to come back in 2 weeks to verify the right tiles are delivered and show the tiler any special accents we want done. Finally things are moving and we will be in there next month!

SS said they will be addressing the water that is pooling in the patio/alfresco area by adding a drain and  dirt to have the water drain away from the slab....cant wait not to see muddy pool!


He also advised that our garage door has been ordered and should be delivered to the warehouse shortly and installed once the paiting is complete!  We can't wait to see that.

We bought our fridge and overhead lighting for our kitchen table over the weekend, we can't wait to see everything come together.  Now is the fun time geting quotes for movers, fencers and concreters! 

THIS IS WHAT IS NEXT BEFORE OUR PRACTICAL COMPLETION INSPECTION (PCI):

Final fit-offs occur which involves completing the electrical, plumbing and heating systems. All door furniture, mirrors, shower screens and floor coverings will be installed.

Paint touch-ups, cleaning, caulking of wet areas and articulation joints, and site cleaning have been completed. Final inspections for the certificate of occupancy and compliance will be completed.

Can't wait to see the house this weekend to see if the paiting has been completed :).
