I'm also impressed that your all unpacked. In our current house, we have boxes from over a year ago (granted we knew this is only temporary) making me feel like just throwing it all out as we have survived quite happily without it. Your house must be feeling very homely by having everything unpacked though. You also sound like you have been super busy with other jobs too. I look forward to seeing the pics when you get a chance to upload them. Enjoy your new home!

The draws will be sorted soon enough. I cant wait for a full photo log of everything. Lucky you hey! NO EXPECTATIONS, NO DISAPPOINTMENTS!

It is a complete downer about the kitchen drawers, just one of those things that leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Did you think about going back to the display house + checking out the measurement on the drawers at the display? Could this help you if it turns out that these are full-size drawers? I can't believe you have 90% of your boxes unpacked!! And the decking all done. And the "wing fence" (what is a "wing fence"?)!!! OMG you are a human dynamo. Have fun!! ~ cheers, J _______________________________________________________________ We're a knockdown | rebuild ~ Melb SE burbs Building modified version of the Fairhaven Glenaire Homeone thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=28429 _______________________________________________________________ Re: TC2000 - 12/05/10 Still packing! 1312Jun 28, 2010 1:33 am tc2000 WOO HOO! We're all moved into our new home 24 hours later and it's been tiring and there's still heaps to do Our belongings were moved in 2 lots (we were meant to have 2 trucks and 4 men but instead we got a big truck and 3 men!) By 11.30am, I was in the new house and by 2pm, I'd finished unpacking the kitchen and pantry! The kids' rooms and rumpus room was next. We didn't realise how much bigger the garage at the rental house was until we moved cos' our standard double garage now looks like a storage facility! Just as well we can't park in the garage since the vehicle crossover was only completed the day before we moved. In the meantime, my hubby is running behind schedule with his DIY projects I'd allocated to him 2 weeks ago (like building bookcases and fitting our walk-in-robe). So it looks like I'll be living out of my suitcase and port-a-robe in the meantime!!!!! AND you know what, the first thing I always do when I move into a new property (rental or otherwise) is to unpack my clothing!!!!! Oh and I doscovered a boo-boo in my kitchen. Nope, not an insect or something crawly....I unpacked my cutlery tray (which had my utensils and all) and put them into the drawer....it didn't fit!!!! I tried the next one (a standard bough from the local $2 shop) and that didn't fit either!!!! So I got into a hissy fit ....checked my house plans and yup...my current drawers are shorter in depth than what they are supposed to be per the plans!!!!!!! Oddly enough, I managed to spot the shallow backbench cabinets at lock-up stage but I didn't think to check the drawer depths!!!!!! I only checked to make sure the drawers opened and closed smoothly! My site supervisor also didn't check this at PCI or handover. AAARRRGGGHHHH SO guess what I'm doing on Monday...yup...contacting our contract administrator and informing her about the drawers. My thinking is, since they still have to mend the cracked melamine backing to the kitchen bench just below the stone benchtop, they better change my drawers. A word of advice to anyone who still hasn't finished their house build...go back to your build with a tape measure and measure not only the depth of the cabinets but the drawers too!!!!! Oh, and I have 2 overhead cabinets that don't have adjustable shelves (i.e. the holes at the sides that allow you to reposition the shelves). SO I can't utilise the shelf height properly (fine for my hubby who is 1,86m but not fine for me cos' I'm vertically challenged and I hate step-stools). Oh well.... Re : the melamine shelving. Little did i know to check under shelves. wasnt til i was doing my thorough clean of my pantry so i could stock the food in there, that i discovered that they had put in a crappy shelf that was falling apart and the chipboard was exposed. obviously the carpenter noticed this coz he turned it upside down. i only thought to look when i saw that the shelf was sitting flat that it was bowing. so look out for this too. so now they have some shelves to replace in my new house.

Just a couple left for DH to unpack, coz its his stuff and i would probably just throw it out lol. God its an effort to get them to assist with any unpacking. Now we just need a shed to empty out the garage, of all of DH tools etc. then theres about a 1/4 of the double garage filled with rubbish that needs to be disposed of lol. sorry i should stop my rambling on your thread. thread takeover lol. well hope you get your internet soon, am willing to see your outdoor work so far.
