When I saw your comment about the smell and the cigarette butts I wondered. We seemed to have a different painter who did the outside and this little old guy with a beard who did the inside. He never had a cigarette out of his mouth, and from the looks of the butts scattered all over the floors he went through a whole carton a day. I'm just grateful there was no more smoking once the carpets went in because they would have held the stench forever. Completed a knock down and rebuild in northern Melbourne.

Thanks Hiya Dosai22 We orgianlly got our roller blinds quotes from http://www.luxcel.com.au/products.html (costing somewhere like 7K for both first and ground floor - including palmets) . But as my kids are still very young we thought we hold back a few years and do it ourselves. Managed to snap up great bargin from Spotlight. (they constantly have 40-60% off sales on nearly every couple of weeks) So end us costing us less than 2k for both floors Have tyou had any quotes for yours??? I can just imagine yours will cost more considering your building a much large house and your window seems large too Burbank Custom DS 23/01 Slab 14/02 Frame 15/04 Lockup 13/06 Fixing 02/09 PCI 11/09 Settlement My Build:viewtopic.php?f=31&t=68855 Blog:http://ourmentone3850.blogspot.com.au Re: Burbank Custom DS- Wardrobes, ShowerScreen & Carpet !! 268Jul 23, 2014 2:57 pm Mentone3850 Week 29- Site Fence , sight cage and port-a-loo removed!! Quick update for you all.. Stop by the house on the way home and notice they have removed the sight fence, sight cage and port-a-loo + a nice sight clean too!!!! This must be a good sign that we wrapping up??? Anyone know??? Those previous built with Burbank how long from when they removed the temp fence before the SS calls to arrange PCI??? Abnyway, thought I snap up a couple of photo of my TO-Be home (without) sight fencing and portaloo (DAY 149 since sight scrape) Looks a little weird without the fence (hehehe) since I started getting so use to it Now just counting down the days to I receive the phone call from my SS Hi! Wow you are getting there! I think you are being very patience with your SS. Does your house feel unprotected without the fence up? Like you've just let it out into the big world? Sorry I can image I am going to feel a little weird about it too! You are awesome getting and doing the blinds yourself! They are such a huge expense. We are going to use paper blinds Bluesuede put me into via an other thread to start off with, but I think we are just going to fork out and get them now! We are taking the approach of just let's do it and then spend the rest of our lives paying off one great big dirty bill! Haha They still have a little to do.... If they came in tomorrow I would say you'll be moving in before you know it.... But with no date I think 2-3 away from PCI and 6 to move in...... Just guessing! Let me know how much the quote is for the grout.... I doubt he is going to travel to SE melbourne but I would be interested to know how much he cost. Good luck!

Mon 21 Jul - Sun 19 Jul 2014 (Day 148-152) Well well what a week it has been, we had tradies in and out of the home to fix up last minute fixtures and finally all the hired equipement (Temp Fence, Port--loo and Sight cage) have been removed. The house looks very different (feels kidda like I am exposing it to the public) Work of the week - Sight clean and fill - Temporary Fence and Port-loo removed - Plumbing & Telephone Line Trenching - LED downlight and External light fittings - Stairs polish and vanished - Internal house paint touch ups The temporary fence and port-a loo were removed off sight on Tuesday. It sure makes a BIG difference to the house appearance. But now I am worried that it makes is so easy for just anyone to walk into the property Also the electrician were back on sight to finish off the remainder of ground floor light fittings, also got to see a sneak peak of the partial kitchen pendant lights (only the pendant no globe as yet) Think this is just incase it gets stolen. Kitchen Island Pendant (Partially Up) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Received a call from the Contract admin stating that windows in the master have to NOW be fully translucent because A&L windows do not do 1700mm high translucent windows and these needed to be translucent or else wont pass for occupancy permit. Apparently due to the 3pm shadow , these windows needed to be at a minimal 1700mm translucent which we were advised need to be done in order to get the building permit approved. But now they going to be fully translucent (No more view from my bedroom) Anyway, thought I snap up a couple of photo of my TO-Be home (without) sight fencing and portaloo Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Butler Pantry Sink and Shelving Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ House @ DAY 152 (since sight start) NOW with Sight Fence Removed/ Front Door Painted Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Fingers cross I will receive a call from SS next week Burbank Custom DS 23/01 Slab 14/02 Frame 15/04 Lockup 13/06 Fixing 02/09 PCI 11/09 Settlement My Build:viewtopic.php?f=31&t=68855 Blog:http://ourmentone3850.blogspot.com.au Re: Burbank Custom DS- Site Fence and port-a-loo REMOVED!! 276Jul 27, 2014 6:33 pm Wow looking very very finished!
