We finally have keys!!! And hoping to move in next week once our driveway is finished and we have our occupancy certification.
We clearly had issues - it took Masterton…

We are booked in for pci next Tuesday - hooray!
I raised a couple of things with SS - a couple of gaps above doors (which he will fix), also…

Apparently we now have all the remaining steps booked in leading up to PCI which has been delayed by a week to very early October. The house is still kept…

Today I called the council about my driveway - it turns out that before it can be constructed, we need to apply for a street level alignment - fee nearly…

Fantastic news onebighappyfamily - thrilled to hear PCI went so well.
We've had lots of progress - above are a backlog of photos - we love our stairs, and are…

Fantastic news onebighappyfamily - fingers crossed it all goes smoothly and you can start counting the big sleeps til you move into your brand new home!

Ricaa, onebighappyfamily - at least you are both still ahead of me (and I started first)! Though we are getting closer - our SS said he still expects to be…

We had great progress last week - painters started and it looks like they've done both coats on the ceiling and one on the walls. Doors have been painted and…

Just had a call from my SS - we should have painters on site today and tilers tomorrow - cant wait to see how it all comes together. Still looking…

Ricaa - you stairs look fantastic!
We have had loads of progress (though partly because I wasn't able to get there for 2 weeks!). They have now installed our stairs…

I finally received my lock up progress payment claim today so I assume we are at lockup - though when I drove past this morning, I didn't actually have a…

No it was a female - maybe Holly

Today we got our call from Don's Tiles to say that our tiles that we selected for our alfresco and other outside areas are no longer available so we have…

Ben and Lisa - we used Richard at Arrunga Building Services for the roofing inspection - I just found him through an internet search. He cost $495. He found some…

We had a busy week this week - the back roof was finished - including eaves, gutters. We also had air conditioning ducts installed. They almost finished the second coat…

We are building the clovelly - it only has one facade and is a relatively new design. The lovely dsa39 built one of the first clovellys and was a wonderful…

Ricaa - you may not have got anything free but you seem to have got the fastest build! I know what I would prefer. we got free sarking because I…

Our render was painted this week - it looks exactly as I hoped - really happy with the outcome. Unfortunately my son is away (debating in Malaysia!) so pictures will…

I am still watching but also have nothing to say - there was a lone man there this morning - perhaps to stop my outside taps leaking (I raised…

Our SS called me today to say our render will be done this week then move the scaffolding to the back of the house to finish the roof next week.…

I texted our SS yesterday to complain that there was noone on site - and within 2 minutes he called me back to say that our next step is rendering…

Drove past today - noone was working so I took the opportunity to have a look inside - plumbing and gas seem to be done, TV connections are in, sliding…

Helpful son...here are photos - whole of house - though hard to see given the scaffolding - roof (including workman), gutter, shower recess and Sentinel van

Went past today - and was delighted to see they were working - while its not actually raining, it is pretty cold and miserable and everything is wet from the…

Vatche and abiggerhouse - congratulations on getting your keys - I feel so excited for you both.
Ricaa and Onebighappyfamily - fantastic progress - I am very jealous - we…

I think our bricks are finished - they look finished from the front and they have taken away the cement mixers etc - next steps are a tiny amount of…

Abiggerhouse - looks fantastic. Good luck with setting a PCI date.
We had great progress this week - we had about half a dozen people on site each day. Our…

There were about 10 workers at our house this morning (though they were all standing around!) hopefully they will make some good progress today.

Is it stealing if you live there - if so, we are stealing every thing!!!
We have workers on site again this morning - glad that the Sydney fog and drizzle…
