That's awesome Hally72! You're almost there


We're a while off now I think, our tiles are another few weeks away, so HG are just doing everything they can to keep it all ticking along, but as of next week, everything that can be done is.
Because of the full height tiling, after we get them laid, the ceiling fixer & painter have to come back too. They've had to hold off on the cleaning & carpets because they don't want tradies walking all over them.

Fingers crossed, they'll move pretty quickly though, with the end of financial year coming, i'm sure they'll want paid


They will definitely get it done to be paid before eofy


Best that carpets not laid we have noticed sand on ours thankfully it can just be vacced.
I can't wait now
just have gardens to plan. We already know what we doing out back not much space to worry about. It's just the fronts are so big got to take our time and get it right

We also hate gardening
so it needs to be maintenance free


So exciting! I really like the colour of your façade, it's all come together so nicely


We'll be taking our time with the front too, I want to get it right & make it as easy to maintain as possible (loving artificial lawn atm!!)
The front yards are so much bigger than I expected, I wish we could've pushed the house forward a little bit. I think we'll have to do the back first though because of the dog. Concrete co is coming to do a final measure next week, so at least when that's laid, it'll get rid of a lot of the sand









Thank you we are really pleased with it, we are having concrete at back and artificial lawn.
We originally had house 2 metres extra at back and wasn't allowed at planning.
The fronts are huge definitely artificial lawn
I'm just want to make sure what we do we qualify for the rebate.
I have in writing that having artificial lawn doesn't affect your rebate, but think we have to have some mulch and plants (I hate mulch)
but we can always change that at a later date.


Ive heard theyre a bit picky with the rebate, at least we still have plenty of time to claim it, I was panicking about running out of time then I found out we have ages!

I hate mulch too... this weekend I have to paint my house & shovel about 4 trailer loads of mulch & pea gravel to get my gardens ready put it on the market next week. Its safe to say that after that I will never want to see mulch again, ever lol I cant wait to have a nice manageable garden that I can enjoy, that wont be a massive chore to look after like I have now

Almost there
tiles were finally in last week! The ship came in on Sat, European had them delivered to the house on Mon & they were laid by Tues. Cornicing and painting has been finished now, so just clean, then carpets & final clean to go. Our supervisor said PCI should hopefully be in the week of the 19th June


How are you guys going?

Hi Dee13

Thought I'd let you know I sent my fence voucher off 24th June and they have been fitted today. I spoke to the supervisor at PCI and he said we could of applied for them sooner.

PCI went great a couple of minor things but they was done within 24 hours
We got our keys a week after PCI. My son has moved in and we all move in tomorrow.

Not long for you now



PCI done
a few issues, but nothing major... Thank goodness it has rained a lot overnight, as a lot of our windows weren't sealed correctly & the walls were soaked
