Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Fairmont Homes CustomKDR - PCI FRIDAY!!! 421Jul 22, 2016 2:43 pm PCI went well. Really only minor issues - one powerpoint in the laundry in the wrong place, three way switch not working properly, leaking shower head and a few paint/brickwork touchups. One of the ensuite showerheads is too low for DH but they are refusing to move it higher as they said that it is on the plans (the height is not marked on the plans) or it is the way it is in the showhomes and is standard... I didn't realise doorstops weren't included so we have to go and get them for all doors and showerscreens. The showerscreens in each bathroom bang on the showers or tile walls. Oh, and I didn't realise the BIR would be divided in two! The ikea drawers we bought won't fit now We were there for 2.5 hours. I planned to bring a chair to sit down on but I thought DH had brought it and he thought that I had. I am SOOO sore now. Photos coming in a separate post!

We had almost no action throughout June! Re: Fairmont Homes CustomKDR - PCI FRIDAY!!! 429Jul 22, 2016 10:29 pm CustomStirling House looks great bobbin and you're looking great too! I love a good pregnant belly! Lol so when's handover? Building a custom Sterling home in Adelaide. Not sure. It's not looking likely for next week as the bank still hadn't processed our final invoice payment request when I called at 2pm today. They said that the valuation can take up to 8 days I am going to be hassling them again on Monday. Re: Fairmont Homes CustomKDR - PCI FRIDAY!!! 430Jul 22, 2016 10:31 pm heatherkam Congrats n PCI!

I bet you wish you could they in that beautiful bath right about now!!! Building in Blakes Crossing South Australia - Fairmont Homes Oh, did you pay extra for doorstops? And our power points all worked! But the SS tolD me after I had tested then that they don't normally work until handover, which is bizarre to me! And yes, I so wanted to use the bath, especially when I was really sore. If the HWS had been installed I may have just locked the door and hopped in! Re: Fairmont Homes CustomKDR - PCI FRIDAY!!! 431Jul 22, 2016 10:53 pm Yep I think we paid 110 in total on door stops, our SS kindly installed a fancy half moon number near our shower, will take a pic for you, our door now doesn't hit the shower screen. I love baths I got in ours tonight, fully clothed and no water but gave it a rest run, can't wait for the real thing!

Re: Fairmont Homes CustomKDR - PCI FRIDAY!!! 436Jul 26, 2016 12:06 am Anyone have any tips for getting the bank to arrange a valuation and coordinating handover? I called ANZ today and the guy said the valuation would be done in 8-10 business days from when they received the progress payment request - so NEXT Thursday. Sigh.

Sorry they seem to work at their own pace HOWEVER why not email them a photo of your pregnant belly!! Maybe they will rush it through - try the sympathy card :-0 Good luck x Re: Fairmont Homes CustomKDR - PCI FRIDAY!!! 439Jul 27, 2016 4:56 pm We have tentatively booked handover for Monday afternoon.. I called the flooring people and it sounds like they are booked out for the next two weeks, sigh. If that is the case we will get our concreting done next week depending on weather. So my schedule for the next week is: Thursday: DD swimming, ABA meeting, buying bits and pieces for the house Friday: acupuncture to try to bring on labour! Sat: shopping trip to ikea, masters and stratco for things like dining chairs, garage floor sealer, tile sealer, letterbox etc Monday: appt for free legal advice re fences in the morning, handover in the afternoon Tuesday: starting work on the house putting up blinds etc Wed: babies due date!!! The race to the finish is really coming down to the wire! I'm kind of hoping baby stays put until next tues even though I am in a lot of pain and uncomfortable, just so that I can get all the running around and organising done! Re: Fairmont Homes CustomKDR - PCI FRIDAY!!! 440Jul 27, 2016 5:27 pm Woohoo, carpet court called back and said they could install from Tuesday!! Should be done by Thursday so we can move in sat 6th yes it does, you've just not understood it. theres a difference. 4 5977 Your house should come in "as new" condition.
