It looks like a lot of the blue defect indicators have been removed from the paint so hopefully those will pass a closer inspection. There's still a heap of paint on window frames etc where it shouldn't be - hoping that that just isn't fixed yet because they wait until they've finished putting paint on before taking any off.

The meterbox was supposed to be monument but I actually think I prefer it in terrain as it's a bit less in-your-face which in this location is a good thing; it'll end up being the only part of this services side in front of the side fence.

I'm getting a little worried about time-frame now, we haven't got a final invoice yet and I'm under impression the final payment process can take some time to do due to the bank valuation requirement and time to send out a bank cheque. I've emailed my broker to get a bit of a timeframe but might have to start pushing the builder on Friday to get the final invoice to us in anticipation of being completed enough for the valuer to look over the house during the week so we can get the payment process under way. It was 10 days from final invoice to keys for us - we picked our final payment up as a cheque from the bank and took it to the builder. I've heard if you do direct deposit it can take longer. Things are looking great!

Because we have been in so often through the build process we are pretty happy that we will be able to handover even if there are still a few little things to do - especially as Sarah will be off work for the following week Re: Custom Build in Warrnambool 533Jan 26, 2017 5:10 pm Looking great Silencer... I am sure you won't have any hiccups during handover... Re: Custom Build in Warrnambool 534Jan 26, 2017 7:56 pm Wow, I've just caught up with your thread, what a beautiful looking home! I adore your kitchen space, love your bricks too. You must be really pleased Re: Custom Build in Warrnambool 535Jan 27, 2017 7:13 pm Downpipes aren't neopolitan any more, just two colours now - much better.

On the home stretch now! Re: Custom Build in Warrnambool 536Feb 01, 2017 8:52 am Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ We have an occupancy certificate! Small hurdle though, the shed still isn't up. We have put walkthrough the house booked for 6pm this afternoon which is great. Shed should go up tomorrow, power in to it the day after and then it had to be conplianced. The big question now is what the bank valuer will do if he turns up while the shed isn't finished - are we likely to get our bank cheque through for Friday or held up... we are crossing our fingers the valuation will exceed the financed cost by enough that we will be ok despite the shed being unfinished, especially as blocks down from us 200m2 smaller than ours are transacting for only $5,000 less than we paid for ours. Either way the builder is happy for us to move our new furniture in over the weekend; and our insurance has put in writing that they will cover our contents as long as we have an occupancy certificate (which we do!) Our NBN router hasn't arrived yet, despite scheduled go-day of Friday. Probably cutting it a bit fine given I signed up around New Years.... hopefully it will arrive today or tomorrow. Re: Custom Build in Warrnambool 539Feb 01, 2017 9:56 am Just got an SMS from the bank saying they have processed the payment so I guess that means the valuation went off in our favour! Gotta call our broker now to see if there are any catches Re: Custom Build in Warrnambool 540Feb 01, 2017 3:10 pm Congrats silencer!!! So excited for you!!! When is your shed meant to be done? What's the hold up? GJ Gardner Modified Coolum 277 viewtopic.php?t=83643 I'd get the gutters to match your roof and pipes to match the paint - otherwise they become a feature. Nice pick with the paint colours! 1 35104 6 57396 Soak wells and electrical run in happening this week! Summit has told me they will relocate the laundry plumbing after the walls are completed. I'm actually pretty happy… 13 36903 |
