We're finally able to display some of our special items and of course Rod's collection of shot glasses!</div>Hordehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06430365721706052667noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8364418045439720941.post-14154045819993177742012-04-15T05:17:00.003-07:002012-04-15T05:18:16.726-07:00Week 21 through Week 22Tiles have been completed- just need a little grout in a few areas and a tile on the wall of the bath cavity.<br />
<br />
Most wires have been pulled out of the wall and waiting there outlet covers, laundry ceiling light and power outlet still to be done.<br />
<br />
We received our final invoice on Friday, although we havent received a call from our Building Manager or site supervisor advising us of our Practical Completion Inspection (PCI) date or our handover date.<br />
<br />
So much to do between now and then... finalise removalists, child care, change name on the utilities, and the list goes on. But all so worth it :) We cant wait.<br />
<br />
Below are some pictures to date. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.<br />

until today (Monday) and could we meet the tiler on site in the morning to
verify the tiles that were delivered are the ones we selected.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I agreed we would meet the tiler on site at
7:45 a.m.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I then asked was any fitting
off done last week while we waited for the tiles and SS said no as the painter
took longer than expected- 2 weeks. I smell a rat!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The SS then said there is a sewer delay again and referred
me to South East Water (SEW) and ask them for further info. I called our land
sales contact and she said no there isn’t a delay and there are 2 families
already living on your street and should I want additional information to contact
the building developer as he can offer more information.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After a few more emails to the PD and them forwarding
an email from SEW (without dates on it bit suss) stating there was a sewer
delay until end of April I then spoke with the building developer and he then
advised that a PIC# something SEW gives when the sewer is ready to be connected
and said that it was completed on 9th March! I then told our SS and he said Wow
really well I will call SEW and see what the heck is going on. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I thought to myself I can tell you have been
caught out not telling the truth trying to give an excuse for nothing being
done which has created a delay. I also told them we have 2 neighbours living on
our street and one of the homes is 4 doors up and is also built by PD. Hmmmm<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">PD said their permits department will contact SEW and see
what is going on and will update us with any news.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In addition our new front window hasn’t even been installed
and still sitting in the garage supposedly waiting for the chippy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our SS said that the house should be ready in 3 to 3.5
weeks, so fingers crossed as after tiles there is only electrical, plumbing
fitting off and carpet and door knobs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We met with our tiler and he said they would be done by the
end of this week!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And from this point
probably move in 4 weeks’ time!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
really hope so.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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! <br /><br />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:) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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!<br /><br />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!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">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! </span><br />
<br />
THIS IS WHAT IS NEXT BEFORE OUR PRACTICAL COMPLETION INSPECTION (PCI):<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Can't wait to see the house this weekend to see if the paiting has been completed :).</span>Hordehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06430365721706052667noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8364418045439720941.post-16365336689596295712012-02-26T20:12:00.002-08:002012-02-26T20:13:37.131-08:00Week 13 and 14<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">

take real shape.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><o:p> W</o:p>e now have plaster on the ceiling and walls and the joins
have all been sanded.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
I went by the site on Friday 27th and saw the guy’s busy
working away putting up the plaster onto the ceilings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also went the following morning (Saturday)
and they were already working on installing the walls and said they would
finish on Monday, we couldn't believe how fast they were working.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
Rod and I were looking over our plans and noticed there wasn’t
a set of cutlery draws on our kitchen island.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We compared them to our tender plans and they had them, so somewhere
between tender and contract they fell off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I emailed our BC to see how this could be rectified.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
I met with our new SS on Tuesday 31st January and he said he
was already speaking with the carpenter and thankfully hadn't built the
cabinets yet and was able to get the draws added to the plans :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
We also discussed what was next and of course I asked when
handover may be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He said I can't promise
anything and wasn’t comfortable giving a date.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I asked if it was close to Easter, he asked when that was I said first
week in April and he said yeah possibly around then or a week or so later.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I then mentioned we would like to use some
annual leave with the public holidays to move in and he said yeah that would be
great!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
He also advised that the cornices would start to be
installed on Wednesday 1st February- went by on Thursday almost finished and
looked AMAZING!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br />
My DH started his new job!! :)<br />
<br />
Our bricks started being laid on Monday 16th January, ducted heating system
in roof cavity, heating ducts in every room and a bathtub frame! <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Still haven't seen the rectification work done to the framework but we will
be meeting with the SS in the next few days I will follow up with him them as
to when that will be completed.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Our temp SS advised the sheet rock will be installed next
week and asked if we were wondering why our front door frame wasn't installed.....my DH said yes! SS advised they had received the wrong size and the
current one is due sometime this week. <o:p></o:p><br />

when the plumbers get back on the 11th of January 2012, but our bricks were
delivered on Wednesday (4th Jan).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We went by the site and saw a little bit has been done. We
now have the insulation wrap around the house and yes indeed our bricks have
been delivered.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It’s amazing just how much it changes since having the insulation
wrap on the house, it really puts a perspective of where ours house and the neighbour’s
house sits on out boundary lines.</span><br />

According to our stand-in SS the windows should be installed before Christmas break.<br />
<br />
Funny thing....We were across the street taking a front on picture (4th picture below) noticed a window laying on the grass. After looking at the lable we noticed it was our ensuite window!!! We carried it back to our garage and noticed where it was missing from. I left a message for our stand-in SS today advising him, so it will be interesting if he does something. Hmmmmm makes you wonder how it got there! <br />
<br />
In addition, our home finally has a hat! That's right we have a roof! <br />
<br />
Our stand-in SS said the bricks should be delivered on 3rd January 2012 and brickies (Aussie term for brick layer) will start in early January.<br />

What is amazing its the same day our land settled! Looks like our Building Coordinator was working fast to get this moving.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Now we have to wait for our file to go to Constuction department to schedule a site start date. From what we have read and seen it takes 1 to 2 weeks to schedule- fingers crossed it does.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Port Davis is already working on obtaining our building
permit which according to their website has been received!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We went by our lot yesterday not thinking anything will have
changed, to find trees on our nature strip and the land sales office is now there<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We are looking forward to a site start date being scheduled.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are hoping because the housing industry
has slowed down and that PD will want some money before Christmas shut down that
they will complete the slab and framing before the break. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

The dark accent tiles will be used in the Master Ensuite in the shower and behind the sinks and the lighter colour will be in the Main Bathroom behind the sink - both bathrooms will only have a row of 2 as the accent.<br />
<br />
The second photo is our floor tile throughout our living area and the cream coloured tile is our splash back in the Laundry room.<br />

We were then advised MID September. As of today this has not happened yet so we are waiting for the titles office to do there
thing! Once our land has titled our conveyancer then applies for settlement which needs council approval. In the meantime, we have to finalise our land layout and floor plan with PD.<br />
<br />
This is the latest picture of our land and finally we have a street sign!<br />
