Finally!!!! I assume the flooring delays are because Tillie was getting this done after handover and not through the builder?

The tiler was apparently all ready to go weeks ago when handover was supposed to be, but Tillie (being the lovely person she is ) told him to take on other jobs and not wait for her to get handover. Now because of all the delays for the build poor Tillie has to wait 6 weeks for flooring!!! I must admit she is a far more patient person than myself My karma ran over your dogma Re: My C@ventry 33 - Handover booked in for 16/11 @1pm... 664Nov 18, 2009 8:14 am Tillie, waiting with great anticipation to hear if you are happy with it all progress viewtopic.php?f=31&t=20401 sculptures viewtopic.php?f=36&t=26607 pole trouble viewtopic.php?f=3&t=25988 Re: My C@ventry 33 - Handover booked in for 16/11 @1pm... 665Nov 18, 2009 11:54 am haywgl I can confirm Tillie has had handover of her home BUT there are still some delays with flooring etc due to the builder taking so long to get their act together I'm sure Tillie will be in soon to update you guys further CONGRATULATIONS on finally getting handover Tillie That is great news!

Re: My C@ventry 33 - Handover booked in for 16/11 @1pm... 666Nov 18, 2009 3:42 pm Just spoke to Tillie and she wanted me to send a big thank-you to everyone for your well wishes and support She also said to give you a bit of an update - the big move is set for Saturday! She is going to live with concreted floors in the main living areas etc until her flooring guys can come in. She said she will post some pics early next week!!

Yes did get my keys on the 16th so it has been 8 whole days!!!! Thanks for all of the best wishes, back at mum's typing this out, internet should happen this week hopefully There have been a few issues since moving in but nothing major as yet, have alot of tradies coming on Thursday, to quote on gates, install some missing insulation, quotes on glass for all the tops of the wooden tables etc... The roller blinds went in the day of handover as did the security doors, which was great. Have a plain one for the freont door and the four sliding doors have the diamond ones.

Also, well done on completing the whole process on your own!!! I know how daunting it can be and I just hope you have the same sense of satisfaction that I do 'A bottle of wine contains more philosophy than all the books in the world.'

My lovely BF has put up a merbau screen in between the house and garage, which I helped to paint as well as starting on the pergola today with the help of my dad I hope to have some pics up tomorrow as I have forgotten my username for photobucket, as it has been so long since I have posted The concreting should be started weather permitting early Jan about the 4th I think as well as some gates. The floor tiling is starting on the 11th of Jan and then the carpet to follow. I am so over all the dust from the crushed rock and am sick of vacuuming the concrete floors!! Have got the air-con on order and unfortunately will not be installed until Feb. Hope to get a start on the decking out the back of the rumpus in the coming days or next week as we are both off Re: My C@ventry 33 - New pics 24/11 moving in and nearly done!! 678Dec 29, 2009 9:55 pm Not sure how I missed this before but your house is looking really great Tillie Can't wait to see the latest pics To find out your PB username, just right click on one of your photos in this thread and click on properties.

Love you dining table, we have just purchased one from Harvery Norman Keep enjoying your new home I had new concrete laid, extended the alfresco and had the sidewalks concreted too. I noticed the concreter didn't put the expansion foam anywhere, there are expansion… 0 8342 1 16501 they can, it's a fairly standard solution when the slab isn't recessed. the falls need to be in the main floor, if it hasn't been done then you need to ask them to redo… 4 6984 |
