Re: Wisdom Aspiration 35 @ The Ponds 242Sep 29, 2009 10:58 pm Finally got the pics on the blog. The cleaners were going through today and the carpet is being laid tomorrow. So we are pretty much done. Have a walk through on friday and will hopefully learn of a handover date from there. Supervisor seems a bit reluctant to commit to a date as yet which is a little frustrating for planning. The tiling has been completed and the drive way which we are very happy with. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Building the Aspiration 35MKII with Wisdom ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://pondsaspiration.blogspot.com/ Re: Wisdom Aspiration 35 @ The Ponds 243Sep 30, 2009 6:37 am Looking pretty schmick if you ask me MK.

Re: Wisdom Aspiration 35 @ The Ponds 247Oct 01, 2009 8:54 am Yeah so do we. Bit frustrating when it gets to this stage. I rang the office yesterday to ask accounts to email the final invoice out that the SS said they had posted on Monday as it never arrived. Spoke to accounts who said the final invoice hadn't even been typed up let alone sent out.. SS even told us he confirmed that it had been sent out. So frustrating but what do you do.. got walk through sometime tomorrow (still waiting a call on when) so praying the SS actually knows whats going on with regards to handover then. Carpets were meant to be laid Tuesday, then Wednesday but has happened.. hoping today! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Building the Aspiration 35MKII with Wisdom ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://pondsaspiration.blogspot.com/ Re: Wisdom Aspiration 35 @ The Ponds 248Oct 01, 2009 9:14 am I have the feeling that its the head office that is struggling more than anything. I saw Miss A at the petrol station the other day and she looked exhausted. Also, I think in regards to your invoice you should get in on a wednesday. Miss N does the accounts on Tuesdays and posts everything out the same day. Doesn't she also email you a copy? If so, then you should get it straight away. I am feeling your carpets are being laid today MK. Hummanah Hummanah. Sending out the vibes for you . Re: Wisdom Aspiration 35 @ The Ponds 249Oct 01, 2009 10:40 am yeh, we asked them to email AND snail-mail the invoices, just incase! but yeh, hopefully you find out soon and hope they're doing your carpets today! Re: Wisdom Aspiration 35 @ The Ponds 250Oct 01, 2009 6:26 pm Accounts said they would email and post and it would be done yesterday or today, but never received anything. Went by today and they were laying the carpets. Place had been all cleaned and the fly screens are in. Just have to put air con grills and motor in.. and few touch up spots that need painting.. meant to have walk thru tomorrow hoping M got a call about it, if he did his been too busy at work to let me know.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Building the Aspiration 35MKII with Wisdom ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://pondsaspiration.blogspot.com/ Re: Wisdom Aspiration 35 @ The Ponds 251Oct 01, 2009 6:31 pm MKTodd, did you take the carpet inclusion from Wisdom or did you upgrade?

Re: Wisdom Aspiration 35 @ The Ponds 254Oct 01, 2009 6:54 pm glad to hear they laid the carpet for you today - hopefully you still have your walk through tomorrow and find out when you get our keys! But dont forget the pic piggies - we need our daily fix Re: Wisdom Aspiration 35 @ The Ponds 255Oct 01, 2009 8:12 pm aya99 Did you ask how much to upgrade 1 level up? hi aya99 wisdom goes through di lorenzo for carpets and tiles. basically, if you want to upgrade either of them, you just take the price they've got there and you deduct wisdom's "allowance" (from memory, it's about $25/$26 allowance). the only catch with the upgrading tiles is the "extra fees" for laying "large" tiles, laying polished porcelain tiles, laying very small tiles, etc... Re: Wisdom Aspiration 35 @ The Ponds 256Oct 01, 2009 10:06 pm Great news about the carpet and all the finishing touches!! Sooooooo close now! I hope you get a handover date soon How frustrating!

Re: Wisdom Aspiration 35 @ The Ponds 257Oct 01, 2009 11:18 pm Hi Cielly, So the key is just to take what the builder's offer? Yeah, I'm worried too with their tiles and carpet uupgrades.

Thanks, Cielly. hi aya99, you don't necessarily have to take what the builders offer... i'm merely pointing out "additional information" that may have been unbeknownst to those who have yet reached this stage of their build in the end, it's up to you (and your budget, of course)! whoopz, sorry for the hijack, MKTodd! I hope you get to do PCI today and that it goes well! Re: Wisdom Aspiration 35 @ The Ponds 259Oct 02, 2009 12:01 pm Well I took a stack of photos for you all, there on the blog. Turned up this morning and had to call SS who had forgotten so didn't have walk through, will probably be Tuesday or Wednesday next week. Meant to be finishing air con today and painters back for touch ups on Tuesday.. he said MAYBE hand over next Friday depending when final invoice comes through.. But we got our blinds in which was good! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Building the Aspiration 35MKII with Wisdom ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://pondsaspiration.blogspot.com/ Re: Wisdom Aspiration 35 @ The Ponds 260Oct 02, 2009 12:04 pm I just saw your pics on the blog - looking fantastic!!!
