I love how much light you have spilling in where the bifolds and windows are. Painting adds a whole new dimension to the inside of the house. I bet you just can't wait now. fingers crossed for you Re: Annietom's off and run.. 16 Oct - Tiling & concrete done 93Oct 27, 2009 4:10 pm Looking very nice Annietom and love your choices so far. Wonder if I can beat you to be finished??? Harribeka Re: Annietom's off and run.. 16 Oct - Tiling & concrete done 94Nov 02, 2009 9:21 pm well we are nearly done now. I only have one photo today as not much has changed aesthetically, it's all behind the walls! Pretty much only a few things outstanding now, they need to move the pizza oven they put in the wrong place, no biggie. And they are waiting on the splashback. They are getting the Cert of Occ thursday and final inspection and keys handover friday. So we will be in this Friday, and I have a week to paint, freshen up, put in skylights, window furnishings, landscape gardens, floor coverings, etc. They furn/items from old place is moved over next friday. And that's it! All done... So I'll post pics when appropriate, but I'll be quite busy for the next week or so! I tend to put more info on my blog because I have a large following there, but I'll post here when I get the chance too!!! AND Hareeika, where are you at now??? Handover? Date yet? CATCH GUYS! The pic below is our front merbau porch done by my handyman, which looks a bit better now. Nava was great and let us in prior to handover for my handyman to do a few jobs (eg. front merbau path and hang some feature doors etc). This was a godsend for me because it's less for me to worry about post-handover! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ A thankful person is a happy person.

Oh well, I'll enjoy reading about your adventures then you can read mine!!! As I said in your blog I love the front deck. I am getting aggregate on driveway and front entrance. Quoting for fences, driveways, costing sheds, it never ends Harribeka Re: Annietom's finished! 6 Nov - Handover today! 96Nov 06, 2009 9:36 pm Well guys I'm verrrry happy to report that we now have the keys to our new home. I met the Nava guys there this morning at 9.30am and went through the usual chat, key explanations etc, signed off and got me keys! There are a couple of things that need to be followed up next week, but we have the Cert of Occ so essentially, they were prepared to hand it over to us a bit early so we can re-paint (as you know I don't like that colour we first chose, and I wanted it painted BEFORE we move in, not after. I have everything scheduled down to the last hour, so no room for waiting another week for handover, just for a splashback (which is coming Monday) and one outdoor drain (also Monday). So I was so grateful to "J" the Nava CS who made sure we got the keys today to keep our plans in place without changing. We have to finsih the painting, do all landscaping, put up blinds, put in a couple of skylights and have floor coverings put down before we can move in next Friday. The appliances are also yet to come from Nava, but that is because I won't have floor coverings until next Weds, and they can't put in appliances until floor coverings are down. But this all fine by us! I'm pretty tired, and next few days will wear us out no doubt, so I may not post for another week, but I will check in from time to time to see how you are all going too! here's a pic of me and "V" from Nava who is my customer service girl who was ab fab! Always replied to my emails or calls usually within 30mins, always happy to help me! I really felt good when I dealt with her. AND in all fairness to me, I am wearing my painting clothes... Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ here's a pic of me and "V" and "J". You all know I got on very well with "J", he was also ab fab, and as a company, I recommend Nava. Honestly, I've had hardly no problems with them, and anything I wasn't happy with, they fixed, no arguments! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Because Nava gave me permission to put down my front Merbau pathway, that is another thing I now don't have to worry about, post handover. The photo above shows it, which built by my handyman cost me under $4K (all up incl lights), still to be stained... So if you are thinking of building with Nava, I say go for it. ALSO, my contract build time was 9 months, "I" (sales) advised us about 5 months, and it actually came in under 4.5 months. I hope you all benefited from my posts and I love hearing your opinions too. I'll post more pics as the home is finished over the next week! (when I've got time of course!!!)
