Ok so been in about two months.
All seems to be going along slowly to plan. Still quite happy with the finish. Being in a bit have noticed a few blemishes…

Hi Dan
just checked our windows - you are right they are bare metal where they have been cut in your photo.
We have light frames so I hadnt even noticed!

We are in! PCI was the 17th and handover the 24th.
All went fairly well - not a lot to do from PCI - still some remediation to garage floor…

Ok bit more action this week
aircon internals in, garage door on, internal doors rehung and furnishings installed, kitchen tiling finished, built in robes in, mirrors in.
Looks like the SS has…

Actually revisited the handover letter....and I read it incorrectly!
What I read as PCI is actually handover....so in theory handover should be roughly the 18th of this month!!
Not a lot has…

Hi Lincoln
yes we look very close!
When the build started we were advised PCI would be the 7th December.
Last instalment letter advised PCI would be 8 weeks ....which comes…

Main floor tiling is down and grouted.

Colours look very similar to our wet areas!

Front door is stained

Eaves up and external paining finished.
Exterior is almost complete - just the garage door I think to go.

Most exciting recent photo - gas has been connected! No meter as yet.

I've been slack on updates.
We have been sent the pci letter after last instalment. Based on that pci should be around the 16th November. The original date…

hmmmmm either I did something bad .....or the demo company is spinning porkies.
I know the lead time for disconnections is 4 - 6 weeks. we had a 2 and…

looks like a pretty flat block for Blackwood!!

It is frustrating. The world would be a better place if a lot more people did their jobs properly!!
There is no excuse for lack of communication or response, but…

Downpipes, external plumbing finished and cornices up last week.
Painting should be the next thing to start.

Hi Dan
you'll have a meter cost on that as well. Single phase connection is $573ex and a single phase meter is $114ex.
Not sure if a 3 phase meter is…

Thanks chief - you seem to be a bit of a legend and know everything going on so I'll leave you to your thoughts!

lol - it does look odd. It is the angle of the photo and is straight when looking front on.

Bricking is finished!
Our brickie works alone so it took a few weeks but he has done a fantastic job. Very neat and a lot of care taken.
So I think…

Kitchen has been delivered! and is part in.
Looks like the wall on the end was slightly out as they have pulled the gyprock off and written on it to…

We went with Augatella which is a warm white.
painted a room in another house with it and it looked good.
Hopefully it was the right choice!! Sometimes its hard to…

Saw this on a feed and I am super tempted to get one!!

Hi Amymay!
this was something I overlooked as well .....but Fairmont was pretty quick sending us a letter to say we had to reinstate the footpath after the power was installed!
We…

Hi Dan!
another KDR! Great plan - looks like things are going well.
The main thing is to expect delays! something will pop up granted. We burnt about two…

Nice views!
Yes its always good to see how the plans end up once in the real world.

Some more progress!
Roof is on, building wrapped, gyprock complete inside and bricking started.

awesome job!

Yeah you cant win with clay! ours is soggy in bits...starting to dry out. Bummer will be when it completely dries it will be like digging concrete!

We had a cut and fill on our block. I mentioned to the site works guys to leave the excess on the block next to us as we were…

Powering along! I too am no expert but I have read in several places the wrap has little effect on insulation and it usually used for weatherproofing before bricking…
