We do have quite a few marks and chips on the walls that we do have to patch up but we knew this would happen and are going to wait until after the carpet and furniture goes in to fix (just in case we have any more!) Our retic has also started and our letterbox is in! We have already started receiving our mail!! YAY!! It finally feels like ours now! We have carpet going in on Friday and should also have turf (was due to go in today-so will check tomorrow!) We are spending the next 2 days cleaning and then moving in on Saturday!!

Your house selections are amazing....i am actually a bit biased - they are almost similar to ours!!!! Almost similar front render, same front door, same floor tiles in wet areas, similar kitchen selections...heheh it was like seeing our place almost built!!!!!! Our selections are from different companies coz we are building with celebrations homes... But our houses will almost be twins heehe....but we havent got the gooooorgeous driveway you have and we will have tiles thru the house... PS: Did ventura give you credit back for deleting the driveway?

We are in the process of finalising our plans with Ventura - so far, so good. I noticed you had an exposed aggregate driveway installed - we are just trying to figure out whether it is worth getting the credit back for the driveway paving from Ventura and having the same installed. Can you give me a rough idea of the cost of the driveway & whether you think it was worth it? Thanks so much! If so what were the "special circumstances" under which it was granted?
