Handover booked in for next Wednesday!!

What more to say??!!

Cannot wait to move into our house :)

Handover dilemmas

We went to the carpet place yesterday and selected another carpet. The carpet we have now selected is also out of stock and cannot be installed until 8 or 9 October.

We have spoken with our SS and have decided if everything else in the house is ready and the bank has approved the last payment, we can still do handover late next week. We will then have the carpet installed around mid October. This works better for us because we will have tradies coming and going after handover to install lights, built ins and blinds. We would rather all that is completed before the carpet is installed.

At this stage, our SS is waiting for the valuer to call. We cannot do much more until the bank is ready to proceed.

Carpet dilemma

We received a phone call from our SS yesterday afternoon to advise that the carpet we selected is out of stock until mid October. This will delay handover by possibly two weeks.

We have decided to do a re-selection this morning. If we do not find anything else then we will have to wait the extra two weeks.

Final progress payment received!

Guess this is it! We have so much to do before next Friday.

We are onto organising a valuation, a re-finance of our loan, vacation of our rental premises and quotes for fencing etc. . . and did we mention. . . a new car!! Nice present to go with the new house! Finally after so many years, getting rid of the old car and purchasing a nice brand new car.

In the meantime, the painters are finishing touch ups, shower screens are yet to be installed, tiling to some of the vanities are to be completed, carpet to be laid and final fit out of our appliances to be installed. Handover here we come!!

PCI

PCI was completed today! It took about two hours or so.

Overall, we must say that we are very happy with the house. There were not any major issues to raise with our SS. Handover is scheduled for next Friday!!!

While we were there, the stairs were being stained. The painters have also changed the wall colour to the stair void and dining area. The original colour on both walls was taubmans "blue lava". The stair void is now taubmans "oswego tea" and the dining is now dulux "sapphire stone". We are so happy with the new look!!!

Driveway!
