Fixing Stage Complete!

Yesterday I received two pieces of news!

1. My SS has very suddenly left the company and I have a new one.......not usre if that is good news or bad news until I meet the new one.

2. received my fixing invoice.

Also took a few more pics last weekend.

Cabinets!!!

Quickly popped down to the site last night and found these!!!

This is probabaly the most excited I have been so far!  The kitchen has such a huge impact on a house and I had become increasingly nervous about the colour selections I had made way back in December last year!!

I am over the moon - it all looks fabulous, and I am not even more excited about my butlers pantry than I was before.

I also met my SS at the site on Tuesday and although we have had a few small delays he thinks we are on track now.  He also said he was happy for me to get my timber floors and carpet in prior to handover - which is fabulous news (I'm doing these myself to save money on having timber throughout).  I thought PD would be tough on having my own tradies on site - but apparently no probelm!!

I have walls!

Drove down last night after work as I had received my lockup invoice and wanted to make sure it really was done!

To my surprise I looked through the window and I had walls...this was probabaly the most excited I have been since I first saw my slab!

I think everyone is right - it does feel a lot bigger once there are walls - this place is huge!!

Excuse the quality of these pics - I only had my IPhone and it was getting dark.

Bricks finished!

Well I drove down on the weekend and the bricks are finished and the timber folding door inside has been installed!

It's very exciting but it means I will be at lock up soon and have to hand over more money!

We have bricks!

The bricks have been my only hiccup with this build so far - and if this is all I have to put up with - than I will stay a happy camper.

I received a phone call from Porter Davis to say that Austral were not happy with the quality of the bricks that I had selected, and it would be up to 2 months before a new batch was ready.  I had two choices......wait, or reselect.

with the help of some fellow Saltwater Coasters I was able to determine some bricks that I loved and quickly changed to Homestead Tan.  Ok - I also hd to pay an additional $500 or so - as they were one category higher - but I was very happy.

Only problem was, that because of the one week delay this caesed - we lost the brickies.....but one more week and the bricks arrived, the next day...so did the brickies.  The even worked on a Saturday to catch up - so I was very pleased.

This is a from 28th August - I can't have to wait until this weekend to see how much more progress they have made.
