Morning all!
We've now been in our house in Rosehill 7 months and we LOVE living here
I feel like there's still a long list…

Hi
We didn’t go through the builder to install our sink as we didn’t like their options - we wanted something simple and it was too expensive. We got the pipework…

Wow looks amazing!! You’ve been able to get the interior done, I’m so jealous! It will be quite a while before we are able to furnish & style ours the…

Congratulations!!

She was fine, but we’ve moved a lot in her 11 years! She came with us from England so she’s pretty much accustomed to being shipped here there and everywhere.…

We are in! We moved into the house on Sunday 10 days after getting the keys - was a very busy 10 days!! Thankfully all the trades we had managed…

Little update from me! So we collected our keys on Wednesday, our painter was there ready to start as we were finishing up our handover meeting - he finished up…

More frustrations around getting our hands on the keys!
At PCI the SS said we could aim for keys on Monday (16th) and I was ok to start scheduling trades…

Looking good! Won't be long now

We won't be getting the inspector back so will have to do our best to check what has been rectified has been done properly!
The dishwasher was in the hole, but…

I did manage to get the invoice early! Bank valuation has already happened and we can pick the cheque up on Monday.
For us PCI was a bit of a let…

Congratulations! Can't wait to see what it looks like once you've finished all your handover bits!

Hopefully they will give us the invoice before pci - she had said we might have it already or should have it soon - then backflipped to saying the day…

Ahh that kitchen looks so nice! Bet you can’t wait now.

Yes this is hopefully the plan. Bank have said from when they receive the invoice to us having the cheque in our hands will be 7 working days - so…

We've been given our PCI date this afternoon, Friday 6th of July at 2pm. Not really very happy as we had said we wanted earlier in the week and start…

Site meeting this morning to try and get an idea of timeframes for PCI. Communication does not seem to be Avelings strong point so meeting the SS does help put…

See our CL is acting like it's unheard of to have a date so far in advance. Keeps saying they are aiming for first week in July, but won't specify…

Starting to feel the frustration now!
How much notice did everyone else get for a PCI date?
Aveling seem happy to give out dates in advance if you are not us!…

It's looking so good! You'll be dying to get in there now. What have you got left to do after handover before you can move in?

Solver Dundee is the dark and Solver Dewkist 150% strength is the lighter render.

I’ve been nervous about the render colours, I wondered if the dark was too dark and not sure on the white windows... but it does look better in the flesh…

No one at site today but they’ve moved the toilet window and look to have cleaned the house - could actually see through the windows!
Painter is due back on Friday…

Congratulations! What a busy 5 days!
Really like your gate - who did that for you? Was it expensive?

The render colour looks so good against your bricks! Can't be much left to finish off now?

Coming along quick! We started at roughly the same time (our slab 10/02) but I reckon you'll be done first!

Got a call from our original Aveling sales consultant this afternoon. He’d been out to the house to see the window and confirmed that they’d be moving it ASAP. Said…

Should I be following up with our inspector as well? Aveling have said they are going to look into it and speak to the original brick layer, measure all the…

Yes I hope so too! I really don’t want any delays but we can’t ignore it.
