The keys are ours !!! All went well at handover this morning !! Few little touch ups from the painter who will be back today, and one downlight to be added to the hallway (which the aircon guys had to take out for the vent), and the scratches on windows will be fixed up on Tuesday hopefully. So the keys are ours and hubby is now there with a full on day ahead of him. No pics yet, can't upload them from work - will try and get some done, but can't promise because we don't have internet access at the house yet..... but will see what I can do ! Tonight is going to be busy with getting the house ready & beds dissassembled for tomorrow ! Will be sleeping on the mattress tonight !

Must be such a relief to have that behind you. All the best for the move! No worries Charlie! I think you're right, we will be sleeping well from now on - the wedding is over & so is the build !!! Although I do have to admit - during the construction process, it all went very smoothly - we never once had to stress or worry about anything major - everything was fixed quickly and easily - even the tile drama was fine !! The paperwork though was another story..... But all in all, we have been very happy with M - and especially our SS. Gave him a bottle of Black Label Johnnie Walker Scotch & a thank you card today - he was rapt ! He did a great job, so he deserved it ! Its nice to feel appreciated !! 2 hours to go !!! Might have to ring hubby and get an update .... Building in Brisbane SW Suburbs Started on site with plumbing on 30/3 - Lock up 2/5 - 15/6 Recd Fixing Invoice - 18/6 Painter to start !

Might have to ring hubby and get an update .... We found out from CSC that our SS is known to drink a few beers so we bought him a slab. He was pretty impressed. I dont have the day off Crissy. Flat out at work. Lucky they gave me a few hrs off this morning to do handover. I really didnt want to miss out on the moment. Bet you cant wait to get "home". All the best this weekend.

Re: Crissy's perfect home is OURS !! Handover has happened! :) 777Jul 24, 2009 12:29 pm I am feeling a little guilty reading these posts, as we didnt get out SS anything but.... in our defense... He was only on our job for a short time (change of supervisors) , and his motto was *its not that bad, i dont think it needs fixing*. He even told us on handover day, he was going to start charging as we asked the painter (who was already on site), to fix some paint chips and gaps etc. (I am pretty sure he is already charging us over $*** 000!!!!) -Sha Re: Crissy's perfect home is OURS !!

Handover has happened! :) 779Jul 24, 2009 12:50 pm Sha - I wouldn't have bought him anything in your case !! Thats ridiculous !! At least you only had him a short time !!!! Ours was fantastic from the start - he fell off a roof and did his back - and was still organising everything from home for us - then he went for surgery and still did it all from home - and we just had temp SS 'on site' until our SS was up and running. So i think he really did deserve something! Hels - thank you so much ! Looking forward to posting some pics....especially of our new rugs & our new TV (which hubby wants to pick up this weekend now..... lol) Hmmm...maybe during the week!

Very exciting for you and hubby, I must say I am a touch envious but know I don't have to wait long Looking forward to hearing more Crissy.
