WALK THROUGH TODAY!!!!!!!

Had the walk through today... wow it was so exciting. Met John the site supervisor for the first time. I think the house looks beautiful. They have done a good job. People were working on landscaping, concrete was to go in today and the other landscaping guys were working simultaneously. Looks like quiet a lot in action. Howard booked in for an inspection on Monday morning 8.30 am . I think money very well spent there. I have no idea of building construction, so its good to have someone who understands this involved.

I have already booked the removalists for 1st April, Blinds go in on 31st. and spoke to Bank to push payments.

I really hope everything goes on smooth and in the time frame... fingers crossed, toes crossed...

will update the photos of walk through by tomorrow. a little bit tired today.

Getting there










Site Supervisor really working hard on the house now. He has confirmed our walk through next Wednesday morning. he says 31st march could be the day... My heart is running at a faster speed. on one side I feel bad for having been so harsh on the SS but on the other hand I feel if I had not really pushed him hard that day nothing full have progressed that day.... today the furniture come in. its going to be hard to put them in this unit but i guess will have to manage something. but hopefully the stress would not be that much.

As per SS the landscape guys begin excavating on Monday.. drive way and concrete will go on. and the carpet goes in on Thursday.

I have booked Howard for inspection . I think it is important to spend that money because we have absolutely no idea of what a house building is suppose to be...

Now the updates that i saw on Thursday.
-Porch tiling done- looks good
-Full main area tiling done- looks good
-Telstra box is in(wowwwwwww. i can start checking with telstra and my ISP provider for Internet)
-Garage motor is in
-Bathroom mosaic done and looks good
-Airconditioning unit power spot installed
-Electrical layout work initiated
-Junction box in

Ohh this street gets busy in the day time


when ever i went to this place in the late afternoons this street looked so quiet and calm. never ever could i imagine it to be so busy in the mornings... look at the number of cars and people on this otherwise quiet street..

the photos recently posted don't look that clear as the camera wasn't good enough.. my apologies

progress updates









looks like things have started working now but its still not going to make it in time. I have just discovered that these builders are very selfish. your house will not reach completion early if it started early. your house progress is dependent on your neighbouring same builder sites. the trades like to hop between neighbouring sites for their work. that means your brick work will start when the neighbouring site is ready for brick. which is frustrating. All the houses in the same site are on the same stage although we started first. anyways the updates are:

- splash back is on( i need to check the colour as it looks too dark for cappuccino
- downpipes are in(not happy with the down pipe near the first door. but cant help it. i need it was coming so i have bought a solution for this. hope it will work.
- water tank is in
- rain water system is in
- main area tiling started. i hope I like the tiles will find out soon when see them after grouting
- painting seems to have been done
- Air conditioning duct are in.

apart from all this i saw some tardies working on site cleaning the site. I am hoping it is for landscaping purpose..

Finally some progress








Went to see the site on Saturday afternoon and I saw trades on the site, Tiling the wet areas. looks like after pushing so much the builder has now forced people to work. the bathroom tiles have been done. they look good. I like the mosaic giving it a simple, subtle contemporary look.

I am liking the colours.

Niche down light issue not resolved as yet. but I am chasing Mr L from the head office to ensure it is done.

SS told me he was going to give a call on Monday to advise me on the progress. will see what he has to say, because i still feel there is a fair bit required to be done. Anyways hope you like the bathroom photos, i am adding one more photo on home theater and one on leisure room but it just gave a good look.

Only few more weeks to go




















It was a very sweet and sour day today. when I spoke to the Site supervisor he said only 2.5 weeks to go so i was very excited . rushed to the site and was thrilled to see the front door finally painted, garages in, all the walls painted, Cesar stone is in. but then i saw .... down lights in the niche not in the correct position. I felt so angry and disappointed . now i see two holes in the ceiling which i don't want and no holes in the niches which i want. i seriously cannot believe that people cannot understand a simple electrical layout.

anyways enjoy the photos. i think i am really liking the colors. they look even better in reality then what they look in the photos.
