I've managed to come on and read what's happening with everyone else but we've been quite busy packing and organizing tradies. So the story is we have PCI on January 28 with handover Feb 4. All our problems so far have been resolved. The builders offered to add extra towel rails to the bathrooms as opposed to removing the small ones and filling the holes. They were so reluctant to do that, they would have preferred to remove the tiles rather than plug the holes. We figure that as long as we can get our towels dry that's fine. Extra towel rails will come in handy. We've booked a landscaper to do our rear yards. We've also organized our tiler, blinds, carpets. Once carpets are down the wardrobes can go in. Our solar panels are up and producing electricity. The hard thing were finding hard to nail down is our heating and cooling. We have quotes but gee, there's a lot of money in that industry. We'll put in evap cooling before we move in and then the central gas heating just before winter. Yesterday I dropped by the house and the SS was there so I was able to have a good look around and was thrilled with the house. Cant wait to get my grubby mits on those keys. Alas, I didn't have my camera so no photos yet. Hugs to you all, including Dee, kiwi, lucene, cooped, carlswil, SW, Jessie, and others. I've been following your threads and enjoy hearing what's happening with your builds.

That is fantastic xx Re: Robinred's New House, PCI Date Finally! 566Jan 18, 2011 10:50 pm Congratulations on PCI and Handover date! I can't wait to see those pics! Re: Robinred's New House, PCI Date Finally! 568Jan 19, 2011 5:52 pm Thank you all for your kind wishes. I'm getting excited as we've organized the tilers. The concreters are doing the perimeter paths today. I'm getting our lounge suite steam cleaned so it's nice for the new house. DH told me our furniture has come in so I have to organize a delivery date. I'm looking forward to PCI and going through it with a fine toothed comb. I'm fortunate because DH hardly misses a thing. But even if he does miss something we have 3 months maintenance anyway. I will take a camera to PCI and get photos. This is how it feels.

I'm a bit suspicious that PCI may not happen as planned. Firstly, the pavers were supposed to start last Monday on the driveway and front path. No sign of them. The skip is still sitting where the driveway is supposed to go. Secondly, the electrician is only half finished. The HWS and rainwater tank still need to be installed and then the whole place needs a clean. Oh and our flyscreens are nowhere to be seen. Finally, we've not heard from our SS about a time. I suppose it could all come together with handover Friday week. I hope so since we've booked tiles, carpets everything based on the dates we were given. Oh well, we'll call SS tomorrow to find out what's happeing. Handover February 2011 Happy with our home Re: Robinred's New House, PCI Date Finally! 576Jan 26, 2011 6:36 pm eeek, but I am sure in a week they will pull finger and get all tradies on site EVERY DAY!!! and they will pull it off...positive thoughts... Re: Robinred's New House, PCI Date Finally! 577Jan 26, 2011 7:14 pm YAY PCI soon I cant believe that how exciting By the way, its jessie87 but someone hacked into my homeone and hotmail account so until they get back to me I am using this. Glad to hear things are going well for you Temporary account - I am jessie87 viewtopic.php?f=31&t=31902 Re: Robinred's New House, PCI Date Finally! 578Jan 27, 2011 10:44 am I hope they manage to get everything done in time for PCI. How exciting. Our HWS and stove got installed the morning of handover, to ensure that nobody stole it beforehand. My neighbour had PCI on Tuesday, and the stormwater people were there at 7am the day of PCI, to do it. contract signed: Nov 09 Released to Construction: 23 Jul 10 Slab poured: 9 Aug 10 Frame completed: 30 Aug 10 Windows & Gutters: 7 Sep 10 Bricks: 15 - 23 Sep 10 Roof: 24 Sep 10 Gyprock: 20 Oct 10 Lockup: 25 Oct 10 Kitchen: 27 Oct 10 Tiling: 6 - 9 Nov 10 Painting: 17 Nov 10 Carpet: 30 Nov 10 PCI: 15 Dec 10 Handover: 17 Dec 10 https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=35943 Re: Robinred's New House, PCI Date Finally! 579Jan 27, 2011 5:39 pm PCI is definitely happening at 9am tomorrow.
