Week Twenty-Two: Carpet, Waterfall Edges, Driveway Sealed and PCI Booked In

And we're finished. Done. Kaput. The house is complete,  just needs a clean.

We're so thrilled with the finish and quality. Looks absolutely amazing! The carpets were in by Monday of this week. There were people onsite throughout the week sealing the driveway (Gunmetal Grey) and the kitchen bench tops were finally finished on Saturday morning.

We were allowed in to take pictures and it looks simply beautiful. Really happy with how the colours have come together.

The black protective covering on the floors now need to be removed, and house will need a thorough clean before handover.

Wisdom have been in contact and our Practical Completion Inspection is booked in for Wednesday. I assumed that it would be another week or two before handover, but if the PCI goes well, we may end up heading over to head office to sign the paperwork and we'll receive our keys. Wasn't expecting that!

Appliances will be installed at a time to be arranged after handover.

Week Twenty-One: Driveway Poured, Timber-Look Flooring Installed, Kitchen Splashback & Shelving

Another busy week :-)

We had a fair few things happening, but very impressed with the speed.

Driveway was poured at the beginning of the week. Driveway will need to be sealed next week. It's looking great! Our back step has also been poured.

We weren't expecting the flooring to start until the following week, but lo and behold, the laminate was completed by Friday. It looks amazing, we're really happy with it!

Splashback also appeared towards the end of the week, as did the shelving in all the pantries and cupboards.

Only carpet and kitchen waterfall edges to go. Rubbing hands together with glee... Some photos.

Week Twenty: Shower Screens, Mirrors, Air Conditioning, Driveway Prep

And we're still moving along...

We had the shower screens and mirrors installed on Monday of this week. The air conditioning unit was installed as well, including the ceiling vents.

I went past on Friday and the earth movers had been in, digging out the driveway ready to start the following Monday (tomorrow).

We also found out that they have installed the wrong electrical thing-a-me-jig (don't you love my technical jargon?). Something to do with phase power? Anyhow, it should be rectified soon.

We can expect the driveway this week, which I'm really looking forward to. The flooring, kitchen splashback and waterfall bench will be the last things completed. A few days later we will do our walk through. Our site supervisor is expecting that we'll have our keys in three weeks if there aren't any major problems, or four weeks if they've stuffed up!

Happy days!
