It seems to be taking a while, but at least it looks like they are doing a great job, which is most important!

Sandarra Facebook Group Re: Our Sandarra Dream by M3tr1c0n **6/08/10 nearly there** 227Aug 06, 2010 9:36 pm We are so close but still our SS will not commit to a date. We were told that Quality was to happen today and the painter is going back in on Monday to touch up - we MIGHT get our inspection around the end of the week. They told us the certificate of occupancy was ordered (and they had to add a smoke detector for it to be issued) so once we have our inspection it could be just a few days. I am not holding my breath though as we have had about 6 weeks of a few little things to be finished and it has gone at snails pace! In the mean time, here are a few more pictures....

Soon after that, our SS called my partner to say he is doing his final inspection tomorrow (we had the touch ups done this week) and we can walk through on Tuesday afternoon!! Possible handover Thursday / Friday depending on when the appliances are installed. We have kept a pretty close eye on the house so we are not anticipating finding many faults (we have been through it a fair bit). I can hardly believe that this time next week I might be in my house (or maybe 8 days). gotta get some boxes from work and start packing!!!!

Can I bother you about the driveway for a sec? Do you have any idea what that stamp pattern is called? It's exactly what we're looking for... The original contract choice was without any pattern then we decided it would be nicer to have a stamped finish. We chose Ashlar slate but the concreter that was given the job did not have the stamp. He gave us a different one though it is very similar to the original. Now it is sealed it looks lovely Land: Titles 27/10/2009 - settled 9/11/2009 House Design: Talbot 28 (Contemporary Façade) Estimated move in date April 2010 ... ok maybe June 2010 with any luck Site Start 22/01/10 - 20/08/10 Handover!!
