Yep it only took them 2 weeks and 3 days in this crap weather so I guess it would have been quicker if we had nice weather. Celebrations sent us a letter saying they expect it to take 4 weeks
so excited to walk through it.

Any updated photos tezza?
All brickwork is done now isn't it?


P.S. think I saw your photo on the CH facebook last week.
Yeah I'll have photos today going out to look. The roof frame and eaves have been done. Yes my photo was on the celebration facebook page. I'm pretty sure I've figured out who you are on facebook lol

inside the garage
http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b533/tezza_87/20130831_145440_zps78b3d0c3.jpg
the gutter appears to slant down
but celebration homes have been great and went down on site to have a closer look its good to know reporting any issues with them is easy and not a big headache.
Apart from those few issues it is looking awesome tezza
That's a lot of smart wiring haha!
well a lot has happened. they have fixed the issues but my partner isn't to happy with them

a small hole in the garage yeah its only small but it has to be fixed

our colorbond roof

this was taken earlier this week looks good

then a nice surprise the glass for the windows have been put in

living area all grey float finished

its really looking like a house hopefully the ceiling and cornices will be done next week then white set and lock up then I can really get a feel for the size
white set is almost finished but still no ceiling. they seem to be doing it all backwards compared to other builds ive seen. I thought generally it went 1st grey float, 2nd ceiling, 3rd white set then 4th windows ? but ours went grey float, then windows, then white set and im guessing ceiling last.

Yeah, i guess its as things become available, we have been told our roof cover will go on this week, usually the electricians and plumbers come out before the roof cover goes on? Only time will tell but as long as it keeps moving in the right direction is the way I try and look at it
haven't been on here for awhile so a lot has happened.
finally got the cornices in then the day after that we were at lock up

my kitchen with stone bench tops installed. they put the wrong stone bench tops caerser snow instead of caeser ice snow but they a both really similar just finer specks through it and it does look really good so I didn't push the issue.

THEN I went out Wednesday and found all of this
rangehood installed, toilets delivered, lights in, switched and power points started.


my awesome oven


garage floor poured


cant wait and im so happy we will be in for christmas
Looking great tezza! You wouldn't think the remaining items take 4 weeks lol!
getting very close to the end the last thing was blinds and they were installed on Sunday.
my partner went out and looked at the house on Monday and someone attempted to break in but weren't successful they did crack the back door near the deadlock but that should have been replaced. cant wait PCI tomorrow
Did they manage to get the door fixed tezza? When is your key handover booked for?
