Knockdown/rebuild with Rawson - Metford33

robbie55 · May 18, 2016 3:19 pm

Great to follow your progress here - we built the Metford 28 over 18months ago now and was just going through the forums again and saw this thread. Funnily enough we had the bricks go up before the roofing too but another Rawson home that was being built around the same time as mine had it done the other way around - its probably just a matter of scheduling. I wish we'd had the space to build the 33 but we're more than happy with our 28.

Hey, Ezza, how is your build coming along? We are up to internal linings. Woohoo

Ezza33 · Jul 02, 2016 6:40 pm

Hey there! We are at the fit out stage now. The painters are finishing up the internals and will start on the outside next week while the plumbers and sparkies fit out

carpet is booked for 20th july. Bring it on!
I just checked in on your thread, sounds like things are chugging along nicely

How fantastic! What great progress you're making. Not too long and you'll be in your Metford! Yay

Oooh, beautiful! How exciting to see all of your colour selections coming together. Love the marble tile in your en suite. Looks great against the dark floor.

LOL I think we picked the same roof and the same garage door. You obviously have excellent taste

Ezza33 · Jul 12, 2016 10:31 pm

Clearly impeccable taste

Well, we were set for handover in the next two weeks but thanks to ACTEW miscalculating the size of their machinery and now requiring the entire block's electricity to be turned off so they can use scaffolding to connect us, we are now being delayed an additional month! Not happy Jan!! Nothing to do with Rawson.

Only stuff to go is the carpet and driveway and it's done. So frustrating to have to delay hand over until ACTEW get their act together

metford33mumma · Jul 28, 2016 6:40 pm

Well looks like we are tracking similar to everyone else. Painter has finished the walls and doors and just has to stain some of our wooden doors.
They've also started to box up the driveway to concrete it soon hopefully!
Anyone know what else is to happen after the plumbers and electricians do the fit out other than carpet to go in? We've been told mid sept for completion but can't see all this taking another 6 weeks?!

Canberra_gal · Jul 30, 2016 11:41 am

Oh, Ezza, that's heartbreaking! Bloody hell. The whole block has to be turned off? Aiyeee

M33M, good progress on your build. We think we are at lock-up (haven't been past the house this week yet), so a few weeks behind you guys.

Handover on Friday!!! Yabbadabbadooooo!

had our walk through this arvo and aside from a few tiny things the site manager already knew about, all was good and should be good to go for Friday. So excited!
Here's some pics, the cleaner hasn't been through yet so excuse the floors

Hey Wilmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Fantastic news! Woohoo! Congratulations! Now all the hard work begins on your end! Love your kitchen. Looks very classy!

Once we are both settled in, I would love to invite you to our place and we can play spot the difference! We are around six weeks from practical completion. Fix-out invoice arrived today. Far out, brussel sprouts. Can't wait

Keep us posted on your progress!

fizzed · Aug 18, 2016 8:16 am

Congrats - your selections are lovely you must be very pleased! Well done

red15 · Aug 18, 2016 8:52 am

So exciting! Are you planning to move in this weekend or are there post-handover things you need to get done first? Bet you're itching to just be IN!

metford33mumma · Aug 18, 2016 9:22 am

Woohoo Ezza! Our SS told us next Friday for our walk through (not locked in yet though) and hopefully handover after any issues fixed up too!
Just curious if by the walk through, everything should be completed, as by the sounds of it there may still be a few little things to do by next Friday?
I guess it's not a big deal as long as by handover we just ensure all those things that weren't completed by the walk through are done by then?
We're all getting closer to our beautiful new homes!

Hi all, we are booked in for walk through on Wednesday 31st Aug!

Hoping for moving weekend to be the 10th Sept so we can get settled in before my due date of 1st Oct

Our driveway was laid the other day and happy with it but not sure about this extra footpath they've laid in front of our porch

should we also get this tiled to match the porch? I think we do have some porch tiles leftover.

Congratulations! How exciting! So close. I see you've got your shutters installed. We've had ours measured up but won't be able to get them installed until after handover. They look lovely

That front path is weird! Did it show on the plans? I must go and check mine - I would be pretty unhappy with the result TBH as I am planning on planting in front of our porch!

I do hope you make it into the house before bubs comes
