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.

Hi guys! Congrats! Glad there were no problems! So exciting that you will be in so soon!
We got a quote from the same fencing mob as you and they made the some stuff ups with the quote (even though we clearly specified the style), not only that but they added up 34m + 33m = 61m. So they had to do ours again as well!
We're using a guy named Matt Cape for our drive and decking. He gave us a pretty good quote, and seemed to be a really nice guy. http://stylishdecks.com.au/
Congrats again! We hope to be in not long after you, although we still don't have a date!
Hi,
Thanks we have started packing now so it seems more real that we are moving shortly.
I can't believe the fencing guys stuffed up your quote as well. Just hope they are better at fencing than administration aye.
We have a couple of guys coming next week to give us a quote for driveway and alfresco areas but one of the guys said about $85 a sq m for the expose agg for drive so hopefully no dearer than that.
Will let you know how much they quote next week.
Hope you guys hear soon about when the house is all yours. Wont be long now.
Hi guys, your house looks awesome.
Just wanted to know what time of blind that you use and who do you go with? I'm trying to get a couple of quotes. Hopefully, i'm getting similar quote as my house is same size as yours but different model.
Congrats again with your new home.
Sorry Kennedy have no internet at home so I am at the library you probably have qoutes by now but just in case we went to Home Outlet and have 11 blinds in total. 2 are roller blinds due to the window shape we could not use the other type. 2 are cherry wood to go in the living ares and the rest are white environshield blinds. We chose the 63.5 mm size as we wanted them to look more like shutters. We got 15% off as well with the special they had.
