Re: Flaggie's Build - PCI & Handover booked in! Happy dance! 843Oct 28, 2010 3:21 pm sleven YAY Congrats! Everything is looking fab-u-lous!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Sleven!! building bug It's so funny that you guys get all these specifics, i dunno if it's just coz we're in 'the sticks' or what, but we don't seem to get PCI and handover with a date. The builder knows us by name, i had to go choose all the selections by going to the three different tile shops lol. I'm guessing we will find out about our 'handover' when the builder rings and goes 'hey, we're done, do you want the keys?' LOL We are budgeting for the landscaping too, but hopefully it will be looking ok for Christmas. Luckily our turf is included and we have plans for the pavers and shed to be finished by then. Isn't it great when ppl offer to help by giving you cuttings of their plants I plan on taking heaps from our current rented garden (why not hehe!) and i've been looking into watering systems at Bunnings, they have the pop up sprinklers you can mow over. They are very expensive though :S LOL BB... it would be great if it was like that with my builder... Awesome that they include turf too... we don't much much yard so we probably won't be going down that path. They did include fencing though which is great! Oooo... pop up sprinklers are a great idea!! The Little Misses flagstaffIV Thanks Bobes!! Got lucky I guess but am abit worried about being the only person living there. Oh, I sooooooooooooooo know that feeling. We've been living in our new house for around 8 weeks or so now, I think it's been, and I'm still jumping at shadows when DP leaves for work at those ungodly hours. No neighbours really and no fences for a few more weeks doesn't make it any easier. I feel really vulnerable. Get a quote for security doors for your sliding doors, as I've heard they are easily opened. Even the cheap eBay window and door sensors. They are only a couple of dollars each, and will do for now if you don't have an alarm. It'll help you sleep a whole lot better. Or I can come and visit and stand guard That's exactly how I feel about it!! Already on the security door thing .... but that is abit scary! Thanks for the tip on door sensors TLM!!! Bloody great idea!!! Sure come visit me!! clueless2009 good work flaggy congrats. Thanks Clueless... any news for you yet? kexkez Hey Great news. Almost there. So is the little mousey hole gone yet?

We are still waiting for them to repaint them. Not holding my breath. Make sure you get onto them before you move it and they paint them before PCI, or they wont bother once you move in. Dear J.K.
