You are well on your way to handover - they are flying through your place! Thank you so much and I am hoping as well that we dont have a hiccup that holds the process up :S I looked in the electricity box and the wires are in but I dont think its completely set up. Here is to handover!!!! dreamcometrue putting paths in already? Will help to make the area look established. I wonder if they will be paved? Yep down our side of the street! I hope they realise that our house is on its way to finishing and leave a space for our drive! Its on the approved council plans! Got to love the council! It will look beautiful and yep I think it is paved....I just hope its not across the driveway lol Re: Our Piazza Dream Home ;)-LOCKED UP!!! 167Oct 29, 2011 9:33 am Shakel Thank you so much and I am hoping as well that we dont have a hiccup that holds the process up :S I looked in the electricity box and the wires are in but I dont think its completely set up. Here is to handover!!!! Not to rain on your happiness, but you might want to follow that up. Etsa are going to be delaying our handover by a couple of weeks they have had issues with installing meters hope it doesn't happen for you but it would be worth it to check.

Thank you for the heads up! That is horrible you have to wait an extra 2 weeks for something like that! Does it matter that our light fixtures havnt been put in yet? They havnt put the light switches and light fittings in yet. Would they be connecting it all once that is done? Or perhaps I should quire it anyway :S Yep...I am worried. Thank you HillsCass for letting me know and I hope yours gets sorted asap! Our Piazza Dream Home ;)-LOCKED UP!!! 169Oct 29, 2011 9:56 pm Wow shakel you are flying! Our piazza is taking alot longer ours started late April and we're still waiting for the painting to be finished, we should have been in well before Xmas but now I'm getting worried we won't make it! Good luck to you though yours is moving alot quicker so you might get lucky ! Re: Our Piazza Dream Home ;)-LOCKED UP!!! 170Oct 29, 2011 11:03 pm Meters can go in as early as bricks go up, there is no set time for them to be connected. It would be worth just following up with your CLO or SS as to when it is booked in. A lot of the inside trades will use power if it's available, all ours had to run generators it won't hurt to ask. We aren't sure if our builder dropped the ball with our paperwork or if the delay is genuinely on etsa's end.

Thank you I emailed my wonderful CSR and he said he would check with my SS to make sure the electrical meter was booked....but when I visited the house...it was on!!! it happened today thank you for your help! Today they had also prepped the wet area floors for tiling and all the doors had been taken off the hinges...I'm thinking they are being painted and door knobs put on? It's all coming together nicely!! And looking beautiful!!! Can't wait!!!!!!!! Our Piazza Dream Home ;)-LOCKED UP!!! 172Nov 01, 2011 10:04 am Shakel Thank you I hope you are in before Christmas!!!
