Yeah save now while you can! You might think you dont have anything to do with brand new house but you will end up with a long to do list and other things will happen you didnt expect (your brother running over the water meter :-x )

Hi Alex, hope all is well in your new house! I'm building with Celebrations as well, and just wondering how long they took from formal approval or settlement through til slab down? And how long from slab to handover? Just trying to get an idea of timeframes! Thanks in advance [emoji846] Hi! All goi...

Thanks! Pretty annoying water corp came in and moved it when we weren't there, they told us they were coming on Monday so we were gonna have a chat to them then about moving it out of the way, but now we will need to pay to get them out again if we want it moved. They also said it should really be o...

Thanks! Moved in over the weekend and a few things went wrong most notably my brother running over the water meter, and then water corp moving it after we had all the plumbing on our side fixed. All the rooms and spaces feel alot bigger now we have some furniture in them too. Probably be unpacking f...

Picking up the keys today woohooooooo Blinds still turning out to be more of a hassle than the house build has been.

Not sure we'll get keys Monday now. Found out yesterday that the bank had called Celebrations to organise a valuer inspection but they had not heard back from them in 2 days. As long as we get the keys by Thursday we aren't too fazed but that was a little disappointing.

Sorry to keep asking you annoying questions but when I think of something I remember you are great insight into what I am about to go through so.. Have you connected to the NBN yet? what is the deal with that? how early should I organise it / how long did it take for them to come out and set it up? ...

Fence done and pendant lights in. Pre Handover meeting was yesterday and only very minor things picked up. Only big mistake was one of my conduit points I had in the garage was used for the power, ie they missed one during rough in. Because its single brick and face brick the garage, they could cut ...

How exciting! Shame you missed out abit but baby was just happy to see the house almost finished?!

So they are getting slack with making sure the property is locked up in this home stretch and I may or may not have got in again yesterday.. Carpets installed and also Glass & Mirrors in ensuite and bathroom installed. Only remaining items are there are two missing pendant lights that didnt go b...

Painting completed yesterday, all internal and also fixing the wall they missed on the front render. Someone forgot to lock the back door so we may or may not have had a look inside again. The ceiling has also been fixed where they had to move the LED's but the pendants are not all installed yet. Th...

Pre Handover meeting was supposed to be yesterday but was pushed back because of the lighting issue. They did take the opportunity to push back everything else as well which is suspect but hoping to see it all pretty much done today/tomorrow with new meeting scheduled for next Monday. So the additio...

Your home is looking fantastic. Really hope the lighthing issue gets fixed for you. Thanks! They have agreed to moving the lighting so that's a win. Site supervisor has pushed our PCI meeting back though to give him time to patch etc the holes in the ceiling caused by moving the lights though. Pave...

Not hopeful on getting the LED's moved, which is annoying because we added extra LED's because of the layout we were very specific on. So a word of warning, if you want your electrical in a specific location then either have it dimensioned on the drawing or do it yourself after handover. Also the bu...

Appliances have been installed and pretty much all electrical work has been completed. Abit annoyed about the LED positions in the main living area as we spent alot of time during pre start being specific about how I wanted them spaced out, which has not been done. I have emailed our construction co...

Had our lock up meeting yesterday, looks good and site supervisor told us we would be done by the end of the month! Booked our PCI meeting in for the 31st! All benchtops in now and wet area tiling complete.
