Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Drysdale 30 by Pd - A slight delay but good news. PHOTO 181Mar 21, 2012 8:52 pm A slight delay but good news... I got a call from My Site Supervisor on Monday who advised that unfortunately we wouldn't be having our PCI (Practical Completion Inspection) This week like he hoped but it would be delayed until the week before Easter which means we are still about four weeks away from moving in and not the three that I was hoping for. We have been delayed because on a tiny issue to do with the tiles and plumbing in the En-suite shower which took an extra week to fix which has help up the other trades. I'm a tiny bit disappointed as I was hoping to move in over Easter but now it looks like our moving date will most likely happen the weekend after. On the positive side all the finishing touches are being put on the house with all the plumbing, electric, SPLASH BACK, pantry/wardrobe shelving and garage door now put in as well as the all important pre-wireing for our surround sound system in the home theatre! There's not much more to do now, just the carpet and little bits here and there which hopefully will be done quickly so there are no more delays. Cross your fingers for us that our PCI (Practical Completion Inspection) is before Easter!

Re: Drysdale 30 - PD - A slight delay but good news PHOTO UP 183Mar 22, 2012 10:29 am Very nice! Your En-suite vanity and stone bench top looks very similar to the color selections of my kitchen so good to see how mine might look ahead of time. The Color selections work in my head but until they actually take shape there is a lot of second guessing over whether we made the right choice, ... specially when color selections were done over a year ago.

I know what you mean! I was having second thoughts about the splash back colour but after seeing it in those doubts were gone. The one thing I wish I had of done was stick to my own choices and not let the "colour specialist" at PD talk me out of my black kitchen cupboards. The last thing I wanted was brown... And brown is what I have. I don't hate them but it will always be a sore point with me.

Hi cattycatcat, You’re so close to the finish and I know how keen you were to move in before Easter which is a little disappointing but not much longer to go now. Your home is looking great.

Oh Pip, now your in a sling? Seriously you need to wrap yourself and family in bubble wrap and never move again! I checked out your blog last night. Looks like your place is coming along nicely I would of thought your tiles would of been in by now though, especially since your PCI is before ours! It sucks about your kitchen bench tops.. Hopefully it all gets sorted quickly.

We went up to the house on Sunday but there wasn't really much that had changed. A few more little things had been cleaned up and fixed but nothing significant. This week our Carpet is going in as well as the mirrors. One thing I did notice which I hadn't before is there isn't actually a tap in the laundry.. There's taps for our washing machine and a sink but there's no tap going into the sink... Of course this could just be something that is still to be done but I still need to just double check on our plans to make sure there is actually meant to be one there...

But I stuffed my laundry bench colour :/Because we have our Franke tap for the the kitchen mixee post handover we are also moving our kitchen mixer to the laundry - handy to have the pull out there for cleaning dirty stains - and nappies LOL.
