Very sorry to hear this. My fingers are crossed for your boy. It is a good sign that he is still well at this point.

Thanks everyone.

In other news, the builder called me today. Painting has started at the house and should finish sometime next week, then tiling will begin. Finally progress.

I'm so sorry Dawn thinking of you

Glad things have made progress at your house

Can anyone who is further along then me..give me some idea of the order of events from now till completion? I'm at painting stage now..

And anyone think they can get everything done in the next 5 weeks?

Can be done in 5 weeks Dawn...

my order...
Painting
Shelves fitout
Tiling (only ensuite and bathroom)
Electrical fitouts
heating cooling fitouts
Plumbing fitouts
Flooring
site clean

Surely it can be done? I've seen builds on here that only last 12 weeks and that's from site cut so I think it's doable

All depends if there are any delays with any of the tradies. Everything needs to be done for pci, so i think it will be a little longer than 5 weeks.

I guess I can keep hoping...

The list of things still to be done
Painting
Tiling
Carpets
Tapware
Lighting
Countertops
Split System
Driveway
Garage door
Render
Front fence
Concreting
Site clean
Fly screens
Appliances
Hot water system

Still lots to do and little time.

Sounds like the delay in getting started after Christmas was due to no available painter...

Hot water & appliances you can cross off the list, they don't go in until hand over

When the garage door goes up they are nearly finished

Thanks Charley.

I guess I can't wait for the garage door then!!!

I think 5 weeks is doable if they get moving now. Our SS has estimated another 11 weeks for us and we've just been wrapped with brickies starting this week.

I really hope so!! I'm going to go down and see it this weekend. Hopefully get some feel for what it will look like painted

Our painting finished last week. This week we have had plumbing and electrical fit off, hot water service installed, fly screens installed and flooring completed. All in a week. All we need done is mirrors, shower screens, garage door and a good clean. We are hoping for PCI this week but haven't got a date yet. 5 weeks is defiantly doable. Our house is 18sq.

That's great news!!! XD I'm feeling confident they could do it, just a matter of IF they will I guess.

Can't wait for the new house... my boy seems okay so far, and he needs to get into new environment quick smart.

Did you visit your house this weekend?

So glad to hear your boy is ok!!

Saw the house DD

There was about 5 people on site, painting away D Pretty impressed as its a very wet Sunday in Melbourne. They were making good progress, from what I could see they've done a coat or two at least in every room.

Didn't see any other obvious changes except for paint.

Due to rain and the fact house was full of people we didn't stay long... just had a quick peek and left, only one photo..

This is Master Bedroom The windows were open and no flyscreens yet, so snuck the phone through the window



Rooms definitely feel bigger!!! Can't wait to get back inside and see it all. I'm pretty happy with the colour, not too white, not too grey, not yellow XD


The inside is White on White and ceiling is Builder's white. They had painted the front door and the sidelight surround blue. I didn't realise the surround would be painted the same colour as the door, but should look good once its done.

I will have to pop down next weekend I think, see the finished painting and hopefully tiling started.
