It is only a tentative date at the moment, but she said our PCI should be around November 15 , so that’s just over 3 weeks away, I have to say, I am a little excited , hopefully it goes quick VERRRRRRYYYYY excited for you guys You have had some real uphill battles (won't mention the brick saga) and glad the end is in sight.

I think we will be having another packing session this Sunday Great idea. If everything is more or less packed by the time you get handover, it will be so much easier to move. I have a friend who has moved a couple of times and she doesn't really pack anything. Moving is so much cruisier if you are packed. I am mentally packing for you to speed it all along.

We had our tiles delivered on Thursday so we are a little bit behind you at the moment. We need one room replastered because of recurring leaks and the whole house rendered but hopefully we are not far behind. What do they do after tiles? What comes next?

Well for us the next step is fit off, so all the taps, electrical points, lights, etc. As I write this we have an electrician at the house putting in all the lighting and power points etc. By the end of this week we should have almost all of the fit out completed, beyond that however I’m not too sure what comes next Current status: Busy making the house our home Built PD Francis 29 on our 576m2 block at Reflections in Tarneit Reflections Estate Thread Our Build Thread Re: Building Wizards castle - PD Francis 29 – PCI date?????? 477Oct 25, 2010 2:59 pm wizard My GF makes a mean pork roast, among many other things, he’d get well fed, although she works nights and sometimes can’t be bothered going to much effort (which is fair enough), so it depends on her mood, just don’t tell him about the last bit Sounds like our house (BTW DH makes AWESOME crackle). wizard Fallen_Apple What do they do after tiles?
