The Countdown is on!!

The 'New House Presentation' (pre completion inspection) went well this morning. Nothing major picked up and the majority of the work to be done is already scheduled. We had an independent inspector there too and shall get his report tomorrow. He seemed happy and main thing was some unevenness in the slab which can be fixed.

So we have handover confirmed for two weeks time - which given the public holiday that Monday will be Tuesday 9 June. Our supervisor said he will try for the previous Friday which we would prefer. Either way, not long to wait now. Also means that the schedule we have in place for timber flooring, carpet and moving can stay as is.

Plan is to move in on Wednesday 17 June. Yaaay!!

The appliances generally get installed the day after handover, but our timber guys want to install before the dishwasher is in, so we will delay the appliances until the 18 June - as we will be there and can be easily done. That means the gas is also connected that day and the ducted heating and cooling can be booked for connection the following day. So two nights in the house without heating!!! We will survive with a little portable heater and an electric blanket, I am sure.

Anyhow, a few photos taken today from inside.

Firstly the laundry - also showing the view from that door!

Our powder room. All finished with loo too - Dale tested that out!
The main bathroom. All done.
