Pictures of floors

Here are the photos of the laminate flooring. They did a great job and also managed to not dent the walls which is great. Anyway I had better get back to packing. Not sure if I will get to post pictures of the carpet as that is not done till Tuesday and there is no phone line out there till November.

COMPLETION

Our roller coaster ride is coming to an end. We had final inspection yesterday and picked up the keys and garage door remotes and we even got a nice gift of a travel bag from Porter Davis. We move in tomorrow which is so exciting.

The flooring guy is out there installing our laminate floor and the fencer digging holes for the posts. It will be a couple of weeks before we get the blinds installed so we will have to make do with sheets. Our appliances will go in on Monday.

They have a few minor things left to fix just a bit of cosmetic stuff and that should be done next week.

Here are a few pictures and I will try and get back on here tonight with a photo of the floor.

Practical Completion

YAYYYYYYY. We have completion well almost. They have to go back and do a few paint touch ups and they hadn't quite finished painting under the alfresco and some wood above the back door and bathroom window but we have our certificate of occupancy and we have handover next Thursday which is really exciting.

We are really pleased with our colour choices and the build which only took about 18 weeks.

We have our fencing booked in to start next Friday after the quote went missing and they quoted us $8700 all up which includes a side gate and hopefully all the neighbours cough up their half share so it will cost us less but the fencing company is doing the chasing on that. We first got quoted $3000 less but they forgot to put in we need double sided paling which is an estate requirement and costs a heck of a lot more.

Our laminate floor goes in next Friday 26th and the carpet the Tuesday after that. Our oven and dishwasher goes in on the Monday 29th as well as our water tank, hot water cylinder and they will connect up the gas on that day so as we are moving in next weekend we will be having cold showers till the Monday or go back to the flat as its still our for a week after that which is the better idea of course.

We have our quote for blinds for the house, 11 all up plus the shutter for the void in the rumpus. $2375.00 all fitted as well which was better than we thought.

We will get quotes next week for the driveway, portico and alfresco. We want exposed aggregate for the drive and either crazy paving or tiles for the alfresco and portico depending on cost. I love crazy paving but it is expensive so we will see.

Sorry forgot the camera yesterday so no inside photos but took a few front photos the other day so will take some on handover next Thursday and after the laminate floor is done on Friday as well.

One week to go.

We are nearly there. Practical completion date and inspection is next Thursday the 18th.

We have a garage door now which is better than we thought yay. They still have some painting to go outside on the render, trim and alfresco areas and a couple of patch ups inside on the ceiling where the guy who put the lights in left a gap next to light fitting, I guess he didn't measure accurately in the first place as to the position, and the tiler is about 99% finished. They also have to finish painting the ensuite bathroom which is in the photo I will put up and we need the glass shower screens put in and the mirrors too. These are last to be done.

Our dishwasher and oven will be put in on day of handover because of theft issues.

They have taken down our temporary fencing and cleaned the site. We have had a fencer come out and to give us a quote and we are waiting on that. We just have to try and contact our neighbours for their half of each side, yeah hopefully that works out.

We have chosen our flooring from Western Distributors. We are having Balterio Tradition laminate flooring, v groove in Legacy Oak and the carpet is wool and is called Sisal Place which is a mid brown colour. Laminate is to be done on the 26th and the carpet on the 30th.

Just a few photos to show you and we will take some more next Thursday at the inspection.
