Dechellis build a beautiful house and overall it has been a pleasure to work with them Handover went well ... a few little things to still get touched up and we still don't have hot water, but nothing major. We received a nice little gift from Dechellis : two nice Canningvale towells and a BIG box of Lindt chocolates. It was quite an emotional moment after all the months of waiting. Carpet went in today and we are sleeping at the house tonight ... to scare of intruders We really only have beds at the house. Tomorrow we will have the truck and will start moving everything over and we have to be completely out of our rental house by 4pm Friday. PHEW!! I have taken photos as we go along, so I will put some up when I have a moment. Hope everyone elses build is going well. Re: The Entertainer : by Dechellis 69Sep 29, 2010 9:26 pm Oh Entertainer, how wonderful for you. Hope all goes well with the move. Enjoy your new home and we will await piccies. Handover February 2011 Happy with our home Re: The Entertainer : by Dechellis 70Sep 30, 2010 10:38 am Wow! That is great news! I was wondering how everything was going with handover. Hope the packing is going well and so is the move....they dont call the long weekend "Labour Day" for no reason, you will be labouring with boxes and unpacking I think all weekend! Our build is going along well but feels like it is going slowly now that we arer locked up! Next stop tiling I think which he said should be the first week in October - that is next week! ------------------------------------------------------ Handover: 14 December 2010 Current: Putting in plants!

Has all the little things been fixed up by Dechellis? ------------------------------------------------------ Handover: 14 December 2010 Current: Putting in plants! My View thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=38242&hilit=dechellis+magill Re: The Entertainer : by Dechellis 72Oct 20, 2010 7:35 pm More or less ... we had 1 week without hot water or gas cook-tops because of a problem with the gas connection paperwork. That is now fixed. We had the SS out Monday and he fixed most of the little issues. There are a few kitchen problems to be finalised by the joiner ... the waterfall edge of our benchtop is coming apart, the cavity slider door is scraping, a few other little things ... nothing major, but will be nice to have finalised. Great news about your handover date ... it is soooo exciting once you have a date to look forward to! Re: The Entertainer : by Dechellis 73Oct 21, 2010 10:03 am Oooohh - cold showers would not have been too good! Glad things are going well for you in your new home. I am super excited about having a date, although it feel like ages away. ------------------------------------------------------ Handover: 14 December 2010 Current: Putting in plants!

I'm like Evelyn - I LOVE your over-bench lights! I am trying to convince DH that we need something like that! ------------------------------------------------------ Handover: 14 December 2010 Current: Putting in plants! My View thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=38242&hilit=dechellis+magill Re: The Entertainer : by Dechellis 78Nov 12, 2010 11:53 am Ha ha Robbie ... I have 4 children! These photos were taken when 2 were at school and 2 were asleep. I ran around, cleaned, polished, mopped and then photographed. Then the kids descended again!! You are probably the only people to ever see my house so tidy! I love the over bench lights too ... my husband has an electrical trade background, so lighting is one of his specialties. We have lights in the kitchen, dining room, master bedroom, lounge and DD's bedroom already and we have only been in 1 month Wish I could say the same for landscaping Re: The Entertainer : by Dechellis 79Nov 12, 2010 12:21 pm Mmmmm, yes, lanscaping. We are going to plant a money tree and hope that it yields alot of "fruit" to help pay for everything that we want done! My DH is a fireman so not much he can add other than to put out the BBQ fire! However, his best mate is also an electrician so we are lucky in that he has helped us out by putting in wiring for us for lights that we didn't have in our plan! And it only costs us a carton of beer! ------------------------------------------------------ Handover: 14 December 2010 Current: Putting in plants!
