Great work. Thanks the shower screen was an effort to get. We call it one thing and M calls it something different but turned out all good in the end. OMG can't believe you will be living in your house this time next week.

Thanks TC well not holding my breath but site clean could and should happen Friday 19th if all the trradies turn up on time. SO we might and that is a big might have had over first week of March and PCI end of Feb. But not getting too excited just yet. I am away at the moment so when I get back I will have to start packing Forum thread viewtopic.php?f=31&t=22300 Re: Chelsea 33 with M3tr!con - Pics 12/02 205Feb 13, 2010 4:15 pm Shelz Your house looks amazing I love the frame less shower! That would be be so much easier to keep clean! Your colours look great & Im sooooooo jealous of those floor boards Thanks Shelz I love that we went with floor boards and not tiles in the end. It was only about $1k more so that was great and I got the BF at the end of the day to agree to it Forum thread viewtopic.php?f=31&t=22300 Re: Chelsea 33 with M3tr!con - We must be close 206Feb 21, 2010 9:42 pm Pretty sure there will be no more pics from inside as we are well and truely locked out now. So I could see thru the windows and we have mirrors, and the front decking has been completed and we have the splashback. The site has been cleaned, the house has been cleaned the windows look great, the temp fence has gone and so has the toilet. So I can only think the painting and the front is all there is to finish. And we need our front door on, as we still have the temp one on. Hopefully we get a call this week to book PCI in well fingers crossed anyway Splashback Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Front decking Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Forum thread viewtopic.php?f=31&t=22300 Re: Chelsea 33 with M3tr!con - We must be close 207Feb 22, 2010 12:33 am Hi Penny, Surely you must be [pinching fingers] this close!

Oh yeah oven, HWS, Water tank all need to be installed but that gets done the day of hand over I think. The decking is only at the front and we paid M to do it as it was over concrete and we didn't have a clue how to do it, didn't cost much at all. We are getting the back done by friends so hopefully it won't cost much either. Well at least the labour is free, so just have to pay for materials. I am so hanging to hear when we might have PCI. I am hoping for next week fingers crossed they finish the front this week.

Thanks Fitzy I am very excited although I am trying to contain it as we still need a few things done and haven't been told a date for PCI.

Hmm...we never thought of asking our builder to do the decking but given that there's a markup of 25% on any additional stuff to be done... Now, I'm just stuck calling around (still) for handyman quotes....that is if any of them bother to return my call...extremely frustrating! We received our invoice for the fixing stage which also included instructions on the last stage of the build. I like how they have written," You would have noticed that your house is almost nearing completion" and that "in the coming weeks", our SS will let us know of PCI, quality inspection and then handover....Hmmm....it all sounds so close but when I look at the house, I think to myself," Ummm....there's still painting to be done, tiling, etc".....

We had the shower screens, floorboards and carpets all done in the same week. So it looked so finished 2 weeks ago. But we just got a call to transfer the gas into our name and the gas metre will be installed this week. They also said the electricity would get transferred on hand over day. We got M to do it for the ease of having them do it, I am sure we got charged heaps extra but it didn't seem as much as we got a credit back for something else on the day we had them do the quote. But at least the front will look a bit more complete as the back yard is our first thing to do as we have dogs.

Cant wait for "we are in pics"..... It was around $1800 from memory for the decking out the front. Not sure on the floorboards maybe around $8k but I know they had a price increase just after we did our contract last year in May. Are you building with M?

Judging by whats left Id say you should have PCI in the next week or so. Our external painting was left to the last minute as well but it only took a day or 2 to complete depending on the weather. Your home looks so loooooovely I must start bugging hubby about putting in decking, it look so much nicer than plain concrete.

We had a painting inspection on Friday and we used nearly two boxes of dots. So hoping we won't have any paint issues at PCI. Still no word on a date, just that we should be in end of March, but I am not holding my breath. They still need to fix the laundry because when they put the cabinets back the taps are still on the wrong side. So this will mean a new back for the cabinet. Oh and they have to finish the front too. So not much to be done, really hoping we have PCI next week that would be great. My birthday is end of March and I said I have to be in by then and the SS said we will try. I don't know what could hold it up 4 weeks but fingers crossed. It looks so finished and has done for more than a week (apart from the painting).
