Andrea I'm so happy to hear your PCI went well - fantastic news
Doesn't sound like there should be a problem with keys in 10 days if only a few minor things were found - whoohoo!! Looking forward to some moving in pics. Bet you're getting busy packing and organising the move now? Good luck with it all!!
Hi Mal - yes, very busy with packing etc. Also cleaning up the place i am in haha. Will post next lot of pics when i am in. Cheers
Yayyyyy - i get my keys on Friday afternoon. Pictures to come soon.
We get ours on Friday too!!
Fantastic Nikkis - how exciting

The red shelves were not supposed to be like that but they say i signed for them so would cost me $1200 to remove. I will be having red pendants hanging over the bench top and 4 red vertical strips in my blinds so the shelves may look good. I will see how it all looks after everything is completed.


Saw your kitchen on redinks FB last night and had to have a bit of a chuckle as they pointed out the red shelves and I remembered how you said they weren't supposed to be like that! Haha oh well all worked out for the best!!

Good luck with handover tomorrow.
Hi Andreabw - have a wonderful day today - can't wait for the post key handover pictures
Yyyy - finally have the keys and the house. What a wonderful feeling. Bonus was that while i was checking out last minute things before collecting the keys, the bobcat driver came along to to clean the site so with a a few dollars from me he levelled the front yard so i can now have the garden go in as well. so so so happy. Painting gets done next monday, the security doors on Tuesday, the floor tiles on thursday, Patio next week as well, carpet the following Thursday and Blinds after that. Move in date booked for 27 Nov. Cant wait. Will keep you posted. Thanks for all the support and encouragement and although a long wait, it has been worth it. You all hang in there as you will be soon. xxx
Congratulations on finally getting your keys, Andreabw!

How fortunate that you could get your site levelled for the gardening, we still somehow have to get that done too! Sounds like you're very well organised - looking forward to progress photos
Nawwww - thanks malsannie. I hope things are going well for you. Wont be long for you now:-)
So loving my new grey walls. Tomorrow the floor tiles and patio. Stay tuned for more pics:-)

Whoo hoo - Had my PCI yesterday and it went really well. Only a page and a half of minor things to be fixed. Had a building inspector do my PCI for me. Was so worth the $440 as he picked up things i would never have picked up. He went into the roof space and picked up something that the builder did not do. He turned the water on in the ensuite shower and found a leak. I would not have thought to turn on the gas, lights, water etc. None of my windows had the little lock bit in the window (so the window can be cracked and security locked). The locks were there but not the stops so the windows all opened fully. I would not have thought to check that. Now hopefully it will only take 10 working days and should get keys in two weeks. Cannot wait.


Your home looks so lovely I love the ensuite
Do u mind me asking who you used for inspector


OMG!! I just dropped in coz i saw Malsannie congratulate you on your gutsy kitchen! It looks so cool andrea- very brave! I too am a red girl and have funky red barn pendants over the kitchen bench! Love your splashback tiles and the paint colour looks awesome. Well done!
Wow how did I miss your thread, looks amazing congrats on keys and all by yourself! You must feel very proud
Have you had your tiles laid yet? I hope so
Looking forward to some moved in pics!
Hope all is going well!!!!

I do like the red - great job.

Thanks everyone. I absolutely love my new house. I have only been in it 2 weeks but have done so much. cannot wait for all the unpacking to be finished so the house does not look so messy.
Wow Andrea you've done so much in 2 weeks it is unbelievable
Love your feature blinds, we're using Westcoast blinds too but we're having bog standard white. The bathroom tiles look really beautiful and shiny. I love your lights too - the 3 pendants over the bench and the one in the lounge works really well together - well done you
Happy New Year to everyone on here. Hope all your builds are going well and to those who have moved in to their new houses ..... Congratulations xxx
