Build from p14 536Mar 25, 2013 9:17 pm welcome Cec1974 and thanks Picked up keys this morning but had to go straight to work We went by this afternoon and again in the evening, feels great to be able to just let ourselves in and out Tiler tomorrow (nephew) and we were supposed to get timber laid on Thursday BUT...DH has decided he would prefer to have carpet after all...went to the timber supplier and they are ok with us changing from timber to carpet so at least we wont lose our rather large deposit. We will be sleeping at the house now to hopefully deter any more theft and get a feel for the place. https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=43937&start=0 Bought a block in Golden Grove - Jan 2011 Finally finished our design, Mar 2012, *yay* Signed with ADH council consent June 12 Re: Bought a block in SA -PCI...DONE!! Build from p14 537Mar 26, 2013 12:55 pm Hi DCT, Congratulations on receiving the keys and getting through the building period. I hope it is all to your satisfaction and you won't find too many things that need fixing. At least it looks like your dishwasher fit into its space! Enjoy your new house! It is a great feeling to finally get in there and make it your home!

Build from p14 538Mar 26, 2013 4:45 pm Hi T, thanks, yes the dishwasher fits beautifully and works! The kicker got put in the skip by mistake and damaged though but Alby's are on to it along with a drawer that was damaged when the oven went in. I hope all is going well at your place. Both HWS work so we have hot water, just need to check the spa. When the air con was at first fix they forgot to mention to the plumber or ADH that there needed to be a spoon drain into the powder room sink so a hole (three actually) had to be cut into the gyprock. The flusher needs to come back and fix then it needs to be painted again. A couple of things still need to be done (the antenna wasn't installed by the electricians and the back screen door needs to be fitted along with the flyscreens as they were redone), mostly all is well The retaining walls and driveway are continuing at a good pace and should be finished this week. My nephew has started tiling the floors in the main room and we will be looking at carpet tomorrow. I'll post some more pics when I update my photos. https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=43937&start=0 Bought a block in Golden Grove - Jan 2011 Finally finished our design, Mar 2012, *yay* Signed with ADH council consent June 12 Re: Bought a block in SA -PCI...DONE!! Build from p14 539Mar 26, 2013 7:26 pm Congrats on the keys Dream! I hope all the remaining bits and pieces are finalised quickly for you. Can wait to see more finished photos. Your kitchen is definitely my favourite room of your house, closely followed by that beautiful veranda. Jem's Custom build - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=58630 Re: Bought a block in SA -PCI...DONE!! Build from p14 540Mar 27, 2013 12:06 pm I'm glad to hear that it is mostly good. The rest sounds pretty normal. There seem to be always bits and pieces that go slightly wrong or are not fully finished. Was the same for us. We are currently going through the "3 months maintenance". We had to get onto them, because when 3 months post handover came around there was no peep from them. So after 4 months I contacted them and send in our list of things we'd like fixed. Now we are waiting for the tradies to come and do the fixes. It's been going on for a couple months already and hardly anything has been done! Anyway, we'll get there eventually. We've got the front retaining wall, the deck and the driveway/perimeter path done and put in our first plants last weekend, so the outside is slowly getting there. Currently waiting for council (again) because we need approval to put up a couple of retaining walls with fences on top in the backyard.
