Nearly there!

Posted by Cath Swan |

We got an email on Thursday to say that the 'Practical completion' Inspection would be on Friday just gone. It then continued to say that 'Settlement' would be a week or two after that.


We thought with all the things needing finishing it would still be another month, but actually when you look around there is not that much to be finished!

The shower screens have both been put on and look great. The bathrooms just need the toilets and bath and tap fittings etc put on.

All the heating and cooling is in including the controls. We have evaporative cooling which was part of our 'extras' deal, just in time for summer! So nearly all the rooms have 2 vents in the ceiling, one for heat and one for cooling.

Today we had to look threw windows as everything was locked up. All the lights and power points are in, and the Telstra smart wiring has been started. Half our lights are down-lights and the others are batons, which we will have to get light shades for.

We are now in full blown packing mode, so posts may be a little sparse until after we move which at this stage will be in 2-3 weeks.

Bricks 'n' wiring

Posted by Cath Swan |


Today not much appeared to have changed from the first look at our home. But on closer inspection we noticed the brick infill to the top of the garage had been finished. This is an upgrade from the normal plaster board that is above the garage door.








The side and back of the house right around to the other side's alfresco area has been 3/4 of the way bricked as well.

We also found that as well as the electricals being finished, they had also done all the Telstra Smart-wiring. The cables had been put into
every room which we had chosen when we did all the electrical plans.

This hooks up all our phone, internet, television reception and Foxtel into the one system through the same cables.

So it's all coming along and getting closer to lockup stage.
