Had a look at our Lawson home and I am very happy with the carpet. http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag21/LLouise1234/null_zpsa5682905.png Our SS (who I forgot to bring some banana bread for) said council and Tyrell's were coming tomorrow to do their final checks. Next week we do our PCI and then the final touches are complete. Found out today I will need to get house insurance before the bank will let us settle. The bank also needs to do a valuation so don't leave that to the last minute to inform them as it could mean another two weeks delay. The bank also said they need to see the appliances in before they inspect so ill have to double check that one. I'm in the middle of organising a fence so our dogs can move in the same time we do. That will be interesting! I'm desperately waiting for our house to be painted at the front. I'm sick of looking at the foxtail colour (brown). It is meant to be pebble bay (white) with foxtail pillars. If the weather holds, it should be done by this weekend. Now that you've seen the inside of your home quite a few times, is there anything you would have changed? Louise Re: Eden Brae - My First Home The Lawson 24 214May 06, 2013 3:21 pm Looks good Louise! Hmmm, is there anything I would change...only maybe get landscaping organized as part of the build... That part is giving me a headache... Trying to organize retaining, turfing, and then the gardens, as well as moving, and everything else needed doing at handover. I am pretty happy with the layout, inclusions and upgrades I got as part of my contract from EB.

That's a hard one. Since I'm not living in the house yet its hard to say for sure but from what I've seen when I've been in the house and moving around, there's not really much that I would change. I would definitely add a skylight to the bathroom and get a slim line water tank but other that I wouldn't do want to change much at the moment. What about you?? I'm gad that your very happy with your carpet and that you will be having PCI soon. Hopefully, you will get your house soon. I am still waiting for a PCI date. I had Tyrrels go through last Monday so it can't be too long now, surely they must be getting close - not too sure what the holdup is. Re: Eden Brae - My First Home The Lawson 24 219May 08, 2013 5:38 pm I finally have a date for PCI! Next Monday. Only 5 days away - not too long to wait. Re: Eden Brae - My First Home The Lawson 24 220May 08, 2013 5:44 pm Woohoo!! Monday!!!! About bloody time, hopefully you won't have to wait the 2 weeks for handover... With appliances already in, and with Tyrell's already have done their report, there shouldn't be much to touch up. I wish you all the best Dearheart! Very exciting!
