Hi All,
I've been gone for so long - sorry!!
The house has powered along, I've been in a whirl of quotes and packing boxes and inspections, plus work is crazy at the moment too I havent had achance to catch up on my beloved home one! I would never have made it throught the early stages of the build or the waiting before that without you all!
We are indeed nearly ready to move in, we had PCI (aka Final Inspection) on Friday, this went well, a few issues with brickwork and tiling, but nothing that cant be fixed (quickly!?).
I have to commend the fine work of Theo from New Home Inspections, we had not had an independent inspection up until this point, but with so many niggles we thought we would employ their services fo some peace of mind - oh boy am I glad we did! We received a very thorough report this morning full of issues we had not noticed, including wonky brickwork, scratched windows etc. Worth every cent!!
We also added approx 300 post it notes to paint imperfections, scratches, visible patch jobs etc all over our house on Friday. painter is due back on Thursday, have to say, his initial work was fantastic, it was the careless trades that came after him that have done the damage.
At this rate we are due to move in some time around Queen's Birthday weekend, perhaps the week after, but its getting closer anyhow!
I am going to find some pics now to add here shortly - including our kitchen if I can find some!
Happy building!
