Do you like the carpet? I love ours Rowena Great pics. Everything looks fab Thanks.. glad you like it We like the carpet... when the sunlight is on it it's a rich brown but in a lesser light it has a greenish tinge to it? Have you found that caz? We are loving our bathrooms!! Probably our favourite rooms of them all. We really like all the choices we made for them. We're getting closer and organising everything is so time consuming! Have sorted home phone/ internet now & organised fencing to go up shortly. You're lucky your block was completely fenced! 1 less thing to worry about. Now just electricity, gas, council rates, final bank cheque, certificate of occupancy & settlement to go Simonds Stirling 2400 Cascades On Clyde Site Start: 15.1.10 Current Stage: Handover 24th June Our Thread:https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=29066 Re: Matt's Simonds Stirling 2400- NEW PICS Pg8- PCI 22nd Jun 166Jun 12, 2010 11:30 am Conragts leiper86, your house looks great!

We are building with S's as well so fingers crossed we will also have smooth ride cheers Danu Hi Danu, Thanks for your nice comments We did have a few delays in our build and really should have been in 6 weeks ago. We had a 3wk delay on our windows because the order wasn't processed! so that halted brickwork until the windows were installed and also a 3wk delay with the plastering because a few of the walls and door frames weren't square so had to be ripped down and re-done. We were always there to have a look around and kept in good contact with our SS so we knew everything that was happening onsite and could address any issues quickly along the way. The best bit of advice i can give you is keep in contact every week or two with your SS so you are always aware whats going on and visit the house often to pick up any defects early before any more work is done so it won't create more issues. All the best with your build!

Matt's house build time should be what all builders aim for, i think also you probably had a rather exceptional SS. We were very happy with our SS.. he was very easy to contact and any messages we left were followed up the same day which was great! The only thing was he took annual leave for 4 weeks and hadn't let us know at all.. we we're almost finished at that stage. He hadn't booked a pci date before he left so we had to wait 4wks until he got back to book it 4 wks ahead. We lost a bit of time and was mostly bad timing for us. A quick update on things... pci 7 days away, house finished, fencing to start soon, have received final invoice and certificate of occupancy which have been faxed to the bank. Now we wait for the bank to conduct their inspection and get approval so we can get the final bank cheque. Now we are just counting down the days Simonds Stirling 2400 Cascades On Clyde Site Start: 15.1.10 Current Stage: Handover 24th June Our Thread:https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=29066 Re: Matt's Simonds Stirling 2400- PCI 22nd/HANDOVER 24th Jun 170Jun 16, 2010 2:27 pm UPDATE Had a chat with our CSO today about handover and... We have a handover appointment booked for Thursday 24th June!!! Hopefully everything goes well with the PCI and the bank does their valuation inspection asap so we can have the cheque for Thursday 24th and we can have our KEYS 6 days until PCI and 8 days until HANDOVER yippeeeeeee!

Thanks cous1981 Our kitchen, ensuite, bathroom cupboards are 'Loft Oak'. Are yours the same? We are really happy with them.. they're not too dark like some i've seen and they have a nice fine grain to them..

Only 2 days from PCI to handover? Is that normal? I'm waiting for PCI at the moment and I know that with all the bits and pieces that I am going to pick up it's going to take more like a few weeks to fix. Or do they do all the fixing after handover? Have you had an answer from the builder yourself regarding this?

We had just booked it in for thursday hoping all goes well. We have been looking through the house recently and there really aren't any issues that we've found so hopefully there will only be a few minor paint issues and can be fixed in a short period of time. The handover may be delayed if there are a few things to fix up. Fingers crossed there won't be!!
