Re: Bedrock!!!...Fixed Stage plus pics pg7 145May 01, 2010 10:41 am Hey jessie Thanks for the lovely comments! Our block is one acre (4002m2) which is just perfect for us ... heaps of room for the kids and hubby to go crazy in We went to have a lookie this morning - all light fittings, fans, stove, oven and rangehood have been installed as well as mirrors in bathroom and ensuite, showers screens and doors, wardrobe doors a...n...d toilets I think all that's left to do is door handles and sealing the tiles in the wet areas. I thought we would have heard something from our builders last week, they did say once painting has commenced they would let us know about PCI but nope, not a thing . I can't see what else is left for them to do. Maybe next week ...... I took all our electrical stuff to the house yesterday to be fitted and stupid me got the wrong light bulbs ... took two trips before I got the right ones . So the lights we had picked for four of the rooms can't be used because of the 80% energy efficient blah blah blah thingy ... he ended up just putting in the bulbs he had so I guess that's something else we'll have to do after handover. Tried reading up on light bulbs yesterday but it was soooooooooooooooooooo boring and just didn't sink in ... I think I'll just go to a light shop and get them to work it out for me The pool man is coming this afternoon **fingers crossed** there won't be any dramas there!!!!!!!!! Re: Bedrock!!!...Fixed Stage plus pics pg7 146May 01, 2010 3:29 pm Its looking great - you are going to love all that space.

PCI date is set for 18th of May at 9am!!! 11 sleeps to go!!! Went to the house yesterday and got caught out by a tradie ... he was very nice but I felt like we had been caught out in someone elses house I told him we were leaving and then got sidetracked by door handles, I did the "oooh door handles!!" and then walked out a bit They're not the greatest looking door handles but they will open a door He was also sealing the tiles in the wet areas ... YAY!!! Hi anna1 - we're very happy with our monument doors ... took my sister out to have a look yesterday and she commented on it saying how much she liked it and it really suited the brickwork .... makes me all giddy when I hear/read things like that Hi roadkill - very nice to meet you and your family yesterday!

That's soooo exciting At the moment our SS thinks ours will be the end of that week. So fingers crossed. I hope everything goes well for you OMG You guys are steaming along! I can see why you got caught up looking at handles, I love your drawer handles! Hope the sleeps go fast for you! Cheers Kim n&n02 How exciting Pebbles!!! You're on the countdown now!! Hey casey - I'm sure you guys are all packed and ready to move in now ... TWO sleeps to go!!! Just wondering if you guys got an independent inspector? We're thinking of getting one but not sure who is reliable ... I guess they all should be. If you did and were happy with it could you give me their details please? Anyone else in Brissy getting one, if so, who ............ and more importantly, how much? I've heard they can be anywhere between $400 and $700 I know, I know ... compared to what we're paying for the house its only a small amount to pay for peace of mind. Oh yeah ... went out yesterday, SOMEBODY used one of our toilets .... umm, helloooo can you not see that there is NO water in it???...therefore, it doesn't flush Whoever walks in there next week is going to need nose plugs, it was only a No. 1 but still ..... ewwwwwww... AND ... we got our roof insulation, guess how I know without even having a look in the roof..... There's a hole in my living room ceiling Some big galoot (pretty sure that's not how you spell it) put their foot in it ... literally!!! Its not huge but its there! I know they can patch it up BUT will it look patchy??? On a good note ... hubby met with the tiler this morning ... he did some work for us in our last house .... and has given us a GREAT quote, well under what we thought it would be, so VERY happy about that Re: Bedrock!!!...We have a date...for PCI! 154May 09, 2010 12:21 am WOW thats great. So happy to hear. If they patch it up you shouldnt see it but its still annoying Also I cant help you with recommendations on Site Inspectors but all I can say it is money well worth spent. We are getting it done at each stage and he has picked up some major stuff, easily fixed though at frame stage. So I definitely cant recommend it enough. Hope your 10 days go fast... and dont feel like forever! Cant wait to see all the pics Re: Bedrock!!!...We have a date...for PCI! 156May 09, 2010 8:56 am Removing anything with any information about our build.
