Our Eden Brae Saville build * Getting closer to the end! PG6 122Jul 17, 2012 7:34 pm 1sttimebuilding2012 Exciting!!!! What colour brick did you end up choosing? Have they given you a date when they expect it to be all completed? Looks to be soon though! the brick was regency. Not sure on dates. We are hoping for a pci date very soon. The bank rang me yesterday to see which branch we wanted the bank cheque to be sent to once they're sorted so that was exciting! Trying really hard to not think about the house but funnily enough that isn't really working! I am hanging for that PCI date.

PG6 123Jul 18, 2012 7:55 pm Hubby went up early this morning and the driveway was being dug out! There was a guy there installing all the door handles as well. All we have left to go is the carpet to be laid and the tiles to be laid in the rear hallway. Plus installation of the oven/air conditioner/hot water system. So close!!!

PG6 126Jul 19, 2012 8:03 pm Well, little piece of interesting information ...... our PCI letter has been written up today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I knew what the date was but I can only guess I will find that out tomorrow when the letter turns up at my homestead. Why it hasn't been emailed, I do not know. Anyway, to say I am excited is a massive understatement. And I got some pics on site today. One of the tradies was working on the house next door but had done work on our place too so it was unlocked and he said it was cool for me to go and sticky beak.

Re: Our Eden Brae Saville build * Getting closer to the end! 128Jul 20, 2012 3:35 pm Hubby spoke with our SS today and PCI is in 10 days The driveway people can't do any more on the driveway until the gas people have been out and done their thing so we are waiting for them. Still waiting for the tiles to be laid in the rear hallway plus the carpet to be laid throughout the rest of the house. Also need the alfresco tiles to be ripped out and re-laid in the right colour. He said next week will be a big cleaning week. So so so so so excited! Our house building blog: http://shellgavshouse.blogspot.com/ Re: Our Eden Brae Saville build * PCI in 10 days!!!!

Our Eden Brae Saville build * PCI in 10 days!!!! PG7 130Jul 20, 2012 7:10 pm Hubby will be checking the house out, I'll be taking photos!!!!! I can't wait. Skip bin coming tomorrow so we can clean out the house/garage. More packing going on this weekend too Our house building blog: http://shellgavshouse.blogspot.com/ Our Eden Brae Saville build * PCI in 10 days!!!! PG7 131Jul 23, 2012 9:33 pm Skip bin is full. Boxes have been packed. Busy busy busy. The landscapers were at the house today building the retaining wall. And the driveway has been partially boarded up. I decided on the roman blinds today. Went with a white fabric that cleans easily. Very happy with the decision and glad that it is sorted. Our house building blog: http://shellgavshouse.blogspot.com/ Re: Our Eden Brae Saville build * PCI in 10 days!!!! PG7 132Jul 25, 2012 8:22 pm Getting a little worried. We haven't heard anything from our SS this week about the PCI. There has been a hold up with the gas line being installed but that was finished today so now the driveway can be completed. I have emailed SS tonight to try and get a date. It is a bit hard at the moment as our 22 month old was diagnosed with pneumonia on Monday and has to have treatment every day for the next 3 weeks. I just need to know our PCI details so I can set his appointments up. Things that have been done - The top of the driveway has been set and is ready to go once the rest of the driveway is done. The retaining wall out the front is finished As I mentioned, the gas has been run to the house and we are the proud owners of a gas meter Hopefully I'll hear back soon so we know what is going on. I'm running on empty at the moment and just need some answers!!!! Our house building blog: http://shellgavshouse.blogspot.com/ Re: Our Eden Brae Saville build * PCI in 10 days!!!! PG7 133Jul 25, 2012 8:42 pm I hope your child's health picks up soon.... I cant wait to see you moved in either. Good luck with the next few weeks.

PG7 137Jul 26, 2012 7:24 pm Wow - that is exciting! Pics look great!!! I must say how much I love your bricks and trims... is that Harvard facade? Built a Hawthorne 31 with EB nessjeffdreamhouse.blogspot.com.au Building an investment now with New Living homes... We are at nearly finished... Just landscaping and driveway to go! Re: Our Eden Brae Saville build * PCI in 4 days!!!! PG7 138Jul 26, 2012 7:27 pm Thank you. We are so happy with how all our colours came together. It was such a big decision to make and for us, we were happy with how they looked when we were holding samples up together but didn't really know how it would look when it was as big as the house! Yes, it is the Harvard Facade. Our house building blog: http://shellgavshouse.blogspot.com/ Re: Our Eden Brae Saville build * PCI in 4 days!!!! PG7 139Jul 26, 2012 7:41 pm hehehehe - your colours are very close to what I was going for, so seeing it in the pics makes me feel reassured the colours will work together...It is such a big decision!!! We are also having Harvard Facade, so I can picture what that will look like... on the Hawthorne though it originally meant 6 windows in the front, but I changed to 4. It will look like yours with two near the porch and two slightly back on the left hand side. So seeing your pics I can now visualised the bricks, trims and windows... only thing we are doing stencilcrete not pavers.

Re: Our Eden Brae Saville build * PCI in 4 days!!!! PG7 140Jul 26, 2012 7:46 pm Glad my pics can help you visualise your choices! I can't wait to do the inspection on Monday. There is still a bit to do. Carpets have to be laid (not sure how close to the end they do these) and the tiles to the rear hallway still haven't been done. We are meeting the landscaper onsite at 7am Monday so he can quote us for a retaining wall out the back so we can level the backyard out as much as possible.
