Mine was going really fast until it hit lock up stage, then it slowed down a bit. There was a 4 week period after the kitchen went in first week October where nothing really was done. Was so frustrating.

He said they are working both Saturday and Sunday this weekend to have this finished. Monday AM will be a professional clean and then Monday PM will be when the builder's QA is done (this will be the second QA check). Tuesday (time yet to be confirmed) will be my PCI and possible handover that day so still looking good for moving 19th and 20th December!!

I have to organise so many things and will only have a few working days before Christmas... Security doors TV antenna Evap cooling Water tank Side gate Not to mention the move itself. I am glad I am able to borrow a truck from my work to do the move cos I still don't know an official handover date (although I am fairly sure it is sometime next week) so it would be near impossible to hire a professional mover now.

Its going to be so much fun to decorate those rooms, I have seen black walls on a few home renovating shows and they look really awesome when done well. I love it when someone does something different Re: My house: Update on completion, PCI and handover :-) 35Dec 12, 2009 6:17 am THANKS! Yeah I am gonna have a ball doing the decorating. I just love those reno shows and I have seen black feature walls a bit lately in display homes too. I would never have thought to do it but I just love that look when I see it.
