Still have to jobs to finish off but we need our trades to get in too so we can move. Mainly painting. Bit disappointed it didn't get done in time, but we are confident it will be done.

What is the Ben trager key for with the chip looking thing on the end? Our build thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=70984 Re: Halls Head Beach House 190Sep 21, 2014 1:06 pm archetto Excitement!! What is the Ben trager key for with the chip looking thing on the end? It's a funny thing but the handover / getting the keys felt like an anticlimax. When it's been an 18th month process you'd think there would be more to it. But we did do the obligatory pizza around the kitchen bench that night they we were able to walk down to pick up. Painters doing finishing touches now ready for floors tomorrow!

Our build thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=70984 Re: Halls Head Beach House 194Sep 21, 2014 11:24 pm A fresh set of our plans are on there. Moët is in the new pantry waiting for a fridge. Polished off the one we received on signing up on Friday night with the pizza. Kids got the chocolates (the 'flowers').

Some blinds and furniture (Friday) plus shutters (due next week) and the inside is nearly there. My Thread (Halls Head Beach House): viewtopic.php?f=31&t=67006 Re: Halls Head Beach House 197Sep 23, 2014 9:22 pm The floors look fantastic. They bring the colour out of your walls nicely. My kind of colour scheme. Light and natural. No wonder you are thrilled. I would be too. With shutters that's all going to look so classy. http://www.housebythewater.wordpress.com From blank block to new home in Mandurah, Western Australia. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=65564 Re: Halls Head Beach House 198Sep 23, 2014 9:34 pm Looking great guys.

Re: Halls Head Beach House 200Sep 26, 2014 12:20 am oncewerefurriers Looking great guys. Just a couple of days until you're in your new home. Home sounds so much better than house or build, doesn't it?. It's been tricky between us when on the phone saying "I'm at home". Gentle pause. "Which home..." But tomorrow's the day! A week between keys and moving and we are only missing some shutters and some landscaping. There were people everywhere today. Makes such a difference when you're in control of what's going and the people you've booked are friendly, timely and do a great job.
