Ours sat there for 2 weeks before we went into lockup. You can look forward to a lockup meeting, then the supervisor can give you an idea of the schedule...well ours did anyway.I would think you will def have keys by the end of Aug, maybe even mid Aug if they keep going at this rate.YAY Re: Our castle by the sea - first build in Trinity, Alkimos 42Jul 06, 2013 7:38 pm you have a suprise waiting . looking good Hurry up and wait Re: Our castle by the sea - first build in Trinity, Alkimos 43Jul 07, 2013 1:47 pm Thanks PD!

Re: Our castle by the sea - first build in Trinity, Alkimos 45Jul 07, 2013 5:21 pm Ceilings AND windows! Will post pics later, but definitely excitement plus Although will be in touch with the CLO tomorrow to check out a potential issue with the front window - it's supposed to have glazing bars, but not sure if these are done after installation Celebration Homes (The Polaris) Trinity, Alkimos https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=65339 Current Status: Handover!!: 06/09/13 Re: Our castle by the sea - first build in Trinity, Alkimos 46Jul 08, 2013 1:03 am Ceilings and windows....

Hurry up and wait Re: Our castle by the sea - first build in Trinity, Alkimos 48Jul 08, 2013 2:40 pm Thanks, I love our elevation, can't wait to see it with colour! Actually our street is looking really good - lots of variation in the elevations everyone has chosen - will be great when there's a fair few finished off (which won't be far away). I've been very impressed with all of our trades so far. Lots of care and attention to detail whilst still moving along at a rapid pace. When the roof frame was completed my mum said it's one of the cleanest roof constructions she's ever seen Good to see your window frames delivered PD, hopefully not too much longer for bricks??

The white inside makes such a huge difference to the space! As your aware were so close to slab now but our plans are almost identical in the changes made which is quite funny but none-the-less, I will keep following Re: Our castle by the sea - first build in Trinity, Alkimos 52Jul 09, 2013 10:34 am I'd be surprised if it's that quick Belle - more like last week of August, first week of September The Polaris is a great design to start with Eddie, so we really didn't feel we had to mess around with it too much. It will be great to get your slab down soon, maybe you'll be in around the new year??

Though my friends house got held up a bit like yours has and it was only 5 weeks from lockup to keys, so they really powered through at the end to make up the time lost. I think C.H like to pride themselves on getting their houses done by the 24 week mark....which is middish Aug. I only know because our slabs went down at the same time and I'm always counting the weeks...lol!! My house is only 3 or so weeks away....getting so impatient....cos it's so close!! Eek!! Re: Our castle by the sea - first build in Trinity, Alkimos 54Jul 10, 2013 11:34 am You must be so excited Belle!! I'm happy for you to post a pic of your place here to show it off Do you have anything to do after handover, or have you had it all included in your building contract??

I'm happy for you to post a pic of your place here to show it off Do you have anything to do after handover, or have you had it all included in your building contract?? Aww thanks ...that's very kind of you beemdoubleu . If I figure out the photo bucket thingo, I may just do that. Yes we have heaps to do after we get keys.... flooring,sealing the house, paving ....the list goes on. So it will be around 10 days or so from keys to actually moving in...but that's ok. What about you? Re: Our castle by the sea - first build in Trinity, Alkimos 56Jul 10, 2013 9:00 pm We're having flooring & reverse cycle ducted air con put in after handover, and painting the house ourselves. Hoping to schedule the trade work in asap after we get keys!

Though it's a pain when you can't get in any more...haha . Hopefully cabinets and tiling next week....it will be go, go ,go until prehandover now Well not much to report from my end. My house has well and truly slowed up. Not much left to do at all, but it's all happening in slow motion . That won't happen with yours though cos you've lost so much time already, the end bit will be quick for you I'm sure Can't complain too much, given we got slabs at the same time, I'm sure it will only be a matter of weeks between me getting keys and then you...yay!!
