Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Chelsea 33 with M3tr!con - PCI 19/03 241Mar 17, 2010 8:33 pm WOW WEEEeeeeee Penny, your house is looking fantastic! I see that you've also gotten the builder to do your driveway and side paths - Gr8 cos' it's one less thing to deal with when you move in!!!! We also had the driveway and front path in our contract but have decided to take that out and arrange for a concreter to do the job for us cos' we want an exposed aggregate finish whereas the builder only does it in a natural stamped finish (which we don't want). Otherwise, I think you're going to get your KEYS very very very soon! Hopefully by the end of next week!!!!!!

Look at my laundry room and you'd have ended up with a squidge of a splashback area. When I saw mine (after oohing and aahing at the tiles), I thought to myself that I should've asked for the splashback to go right to the end.

And it even wraps around at the end where the bench ends. So I have to say I am happy with it. We paid extra to have the tiles laid as bricks so lucky we won't even be paying extra for the laying either. Bit worried still don't have a time for tomorrow nothing like leaving it to the last minute, lucky my boss is fine with me leaving early no matter time it is. I hope I get a time soon............ Forum thread viewtopic.php?f=31&t=22300 Re: Chelsea 33 with M3tr!con - PCI 19/03 244Mar 18, 2010 10:39 am still no PCI time for tomorrow!!!!! How nerve wrecking! I hope they pull through today and your lovely phone rings with some good news! OMG, OMG, OMG... PCI is potentially less than 24 hours away!!!!!! GOOD LUCK! p.s. Regarding your WIR door, how on earth did the builder's Q&A person think that the door opening into the area of the tower drawer/shelfing units is OK? Was it like this in the display home or were the tower shelfing units an extra you requested for?

We added them in so not sure what happens then. Might take a pic of it tomorrow. Forum thread viewtopic.php?f=31&t=22300 Re: Chelsea 33 with M3tr!con - PCI Friday @ 3.00pm 246Mar 18, 2010 11:00 am It's only a PCI time and I've gone and given you a POM POM overload!!!!!! That's fantastic to hear you've been given a PCI time for tomorrow. OMG! 3om tomorrow isn't sooooooo far away! Yep, pleeeease take a pic of your WIR door not being able to open! Oh here's a suggestion, maybe they can take off the existing door and try to get a two-part swing door so that the doors can still open into the WIR (given that the width of each door will be half the depth when opened). OK, it sounds odd and may look odd but at least the doors to the WIR can still be kept opened when the drawers are used? OR a bifold type of door? Surely they must fix it if you put it ony our list of fixing at PCI?

But not long now then one step closer to having our house I so can't wait. Thanks for the pom poms I can't believe you have your mirrors your SS is really flying gees they must want that last payment Forum thread viewtopic.php?f=31&t=22300 Re: Chelsea 33 with M3tr!con - PCI Friday @ 3.00pm 249Mar 19, 2010 10:58 am YEP, penny. I'm excited for you since you've been holding out for so long to get to this penultimate stage!!!!!! Not long now, probably about 2.5hrs to go or so (I've taken out possible driving time for you from work to get to your house ). It could be they want the last payment asap OR they just want to get rid of us My hubby is meeting with our SS this later this arvo so hopefully he can indicate when PCI will be. Guess what, the mirror in the bathroom was mounted the wrong way! The height of the mirror was mounted width wise. This means that all up (from top of mirror to floor), my hubby will be lucky to see the top of his head in the mirror. The total height of the mirror+splashback+cabinet is supposed to 2.06m but since it's mounted the wrong way, the total height is 1.86m (same height as my hubby)!!!!!!

But as long as it is fixed, just shows you have to really keep a good eye on things. At least then they are fixed and you don't have a long list at PCI. Git rid of you guys, I think my CSC and SS would love to get rid of me, so close now. Another meeting with your SS man you guys are lucky. But really it can't be much longer to PCI now for you either.

Yeah, silly man/men who mounted the mirrors! And they would have been given a copy of the profile drawings for the bathroom too! Yup, we've been lucky being able to meet with our SS frequently (mostly fortnightly so far!!!!). He must be tired of seeing us by now! Will let you know if I get an est. PCI date!
