Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Custom build on 40 acres - Handover Friday 4 September! 601Sep 01, 2015 1:11 am Congrats on the upcoming handover! House looks really lovely... Our Build Thread: The "Extended" Marina by Visionone Homes Our Inspirations: Frank Lloyd Wright | Houzz Re: Custom build on 40 acres - So near and yet so far! 602Sep 03, 2015 9:33 pm I have some good news, some bad news and some good news again. Good news is that our Occupancy Certificate came through, so we are legally allowed to move in Bad news is that it's not happening this week the flooring company has given the builder the run around and won't be here this week to do the fix ups & clean up all the glue residue. This then means that we really can't move any furniture in as everything will have to be moved again when they finally turn up Other good news is that our dishwasher & gas cooker has been installed. We have been using the cooker in the shed for the past 2.5 years so now we are stuck with a camping portable gas cooker.

Re: Custom build on 40 acres - So near and yet so far! 608Sep 04, 2015 9:08 pm This handover business is doing my head in! I wasn't sure whether to post this or not incase something changes AGAIN but what the heck.......so SS tells us today that the flooring company turned up this morning and most of the job was done today, the final bits will be finished ...... actually can't remember if it is the weekend or Monday, anyway our handover is now booked for 9am Monday thank goodness we have Monday's off so we can make a good start to the move.

Today we picked up some of our furniture purchases and moved them in (SS was ok with that) but thought we better wait before moving anything else - was very hard not to keep going.
