Yep I'm with everyone else, hoping you have keys and everything went great! I'm guessing it all did as you haven't responded because you're busy moving in

I feel like I should be doing something more productive, like packing, or organising more stuff, but it's been pretty cruisey today.

We got the keys at 10 at the house, tried to tie a ribbon around the door, did a bit of a photo shoot and cut the ribbon, then got keys. It was kinda fun!

There are still a couple of items outstanding from PCI that haven't been done but they have at least been organised so they should all get done this week. And our architect is dropping by this afternoon to inspect the roof space.

So here's my to-do list:

Floorboards sanded and sealed - Getting done today!
Security system (including intercom) - In progress!
Greywater system - Getting done on Friday!
Skirting boards - Getting done on Friday!
Driveway - Starting on the 14th (this was supposed to get started yesterday but... grrr don't get me started!)
Painting - Starting on the 14th!
Antenna - Installation on 21st!
Window treatments - Installation on 22nd!
Rainwater tank - Organised! (Tanks will take about 3 weeks)
Front fence - planning approved, need building permit
Deck - planning approved, need building permit
Letter box - On the hunt for a cheapie temporary solution!
Clothesline - Researching
Shade sails - Researching
Side Gates - after rain tanks are in
Buy powder room mirror - postponed until my shopping spree
Robe fitout - Looking at this next week
Pantry fitout - Looking at this next week
Portico tiling - Looking at this next week
Alfresco tiling - Looking at this next week
Solar panels - Looking at this next week or after Christmas

Any recommendations on shade sails?

Oh wow, you have your keys and you've been in for 4ish days already!!! Again, no notifications... but happy belated house moving!! :z:

I guess with the strange weather I've been hearing about in Perth it's a chance to test out conditions inside. Have a wonderful Christmas in your new home xx ::smile::

Congratulations Trixee. Can't believe you have the patience not to move in today! Can't wait to see your photo shoot pictures.

Thanks HBTW - as my husband says, we just need to accept that we're not very photogenic! Also, the porch had sand all over it as it hadn't been swept and wires were sticking out the wall for the intercom installation, so I wouldn't even call it a particularly impressive entry just yet!

We thought about it, but decided it would be too much stress this year - maybe next year!
