Our house building blog: http://shellgavshouse.blogspot.com/ Our Eden Brae Saville build * PCI done!!!! PG8 165Sep 08, 2012 5:23 am Settlement went well and we are the very proud owners of our new house!!!! Spent the afternoon cleaning. Well, hubby cleaned, I drank champagne and wiped the bench top over about 10 times. I also wiped down the shelves in the pantry so we can move everything in there today. Going to be very busy over the next week! Our house building blog: http://shellgavshouse.blogspot.com/ Re: Our Eden Brae Saville build * PCI done!!!! PG8 166Sep 08, 2012 4:57 pm Sooooo very excited for you!!! Built a Hawthorne 31 with EB nessjeffdreamhouse.blogspot.com.au Building an investment now with New Living homes... We are at nearly finished... Just landscaping and driveway to go! Our Eden Brae Saville build * PCI done!!!! PG8 167Oct 10, 2012 9:17 am How has your move in been guys? Re: Our Eden Brae Saville build * PCI done!!!! PG8 168Oct 10, 2012 7:21 pm The move went well. Things have been insane actually! So, we got our new furniture delivered and two days later, had to ring to get the brand new fridge replaced as it was leaking!!!! The air conditioner was showing an error message and turns out it was never gassed! The outdoor setting was set to be delivered and then they ring the day before and tell me the glass has shattered and the closest one for a replacement was in Qld. Telstra have done nothing but screw us around and I'm in the process of dealing with their complaints department and possibly the ombudsmen. When Foxtel was installed, they cut through our pantry wall and left a nice big hole in it which still hasn't been fixed (part of the complaint as we get Foxtel through Telstra)........ BUT!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy. We are in. We are relatively settled and it is OURS! We got our blinds and shutters installed and I am so happy with them. Honestly, I couldn't recommend G R Blinds enough. Rob was awesome to deal with and we just love the look of the blinds/shutters. Our back yard is almost done. The grass is in and it was so nice to be able to finally send the kids outside and play (and not come back in covered in dirt and mud!). The gates are up so said children can't escape now All we have left to do is finish unpacking.....but really, that's just a minor detail. The other exciting thing that happened right in the thick of things is I surprised hubby with a trip to Fiji for his 40th! I had booked it in December last year. His birthday was on the Saturday and that is when he got the tickets and then we flew out on the Sunday. And we went child free!!!!! (thanks to my mum for having the kidlets). It was heaven to get away but possibly the worst timing....but at the same time, the timing couldn't have been better. We were both so stressed about the end of the build and moving and finishing off cleaning out the rental house so we were able to shut off for 5 days which was bliss. I have a few pics but I just realised that I actually haven't really taken a lot of photos since we have moved in. We still have a lot to do with regards to decorating but we are slowly getting there. I will have to take some more photos but here are a few for now The new lounge (we have since moved it around so it is against the wall) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The dining room Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The kitchen Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Our daughters room Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Our son's room Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Our room Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Our backyard from the back fence Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ And from the back of the house Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ And the hole that Foxtel left in our pantry!!!

That is terrible workmanship and dishonesty. Lovely surprise for your husband. Intrigued as to how you paid for it without him knowing and organised time off work for him etc. Where did you stay? We leave in 6 days for Malolo Island. BRING IT ON!!
