Charlibear's Build -Finally in!

Tiles good good. Love the laundry splash back. Very trendy indeed.

We picked brick lay for the floors in the same colour as yours and standard lay for the walls.

So keen to see how yours turn out.

I spoke to our supervisor yesterday about the brickbond lay he said that not enough tiles were order for brick bond lay and they need to order more which was fine but they would come from a different batch and there could potentially be a colour variation so that made up our minds for us and we are sticking with standard lay.

Also our SS is getting back to me with a definite handover date because I told him I am putting in leave at work for the house and once it is in I cannot change it as my apts with my clients book out a month in advance... He said he would need a few days to see what's happening with the trades and will let me know... I told him that he needs to let me know by lunch time Thursday because that's the latest I can submit my leave. I told I wouldn't be happy if I submitted my leave for the date they have said all this time to go over and I'm sitting around twiddling my thumbs and this will reflect in my review I do... So he said he will get back to me hehe.

How exciting. Strange he is doing floor before painter - that is going to slow the painter as he won't be able to spray the skirting boards - and ceiling will be hard to spray as you don't want to get paint on the tiles. We had walls and bathroom done first as it's easy to cover then paint then main floor tiles. I know when they sprayed my skirting it left a spray of paint on the floor.

I love the tiles - it's going to look great. You can walk on the tiles overnight basically - done heaps of tiling ourselves in our old house.

I thought it was odd that they did tiles first because he said the painter will spray everything, my gorgeous tiles better not be marked or I wont be happy!!!

SS is going to send me photos of the tiles tomorrow when he is there- cant wait to see them

Hopefully we can get in over the weekend to see them

Our tiles were done before painting on both our builds. They cover everything well.

Received our lock up invoice today ouch

Woohoo for lockup!! But yuh, hurts!!
How long till your suppose to get keys? You might only be a week behind me.. cause I think you said August.

Man I thought the last invoice was bad, this one is like $20k more

I will know tomorrow, handover date... I'm hoping it's the day they've been saying all along which is 25th Aug... but with how much is left I just can't see it happening ☹️ so maybe first week of Sept

I can't believe how ridiculous your builder has been, 11 months to build your home

Yeah they don't hesitate to forward the invoices...

;-; Just working out penalties now to send to the builder... my build will be 320 days!!!

I must say I'm impressed how quick your build has progressed recently, so hopefully there's hope for your August date.

How many days is your build up to?

Your builder has certainly made some time up I really hope you're on schedule for completion later this month! We are still at a snail pace end of week 30 and still not got all the externals complete and nowhere near pre linings stage. I'm so over this!

Loving the progress! I'm so pleased for you and your hubs, charlibear!! We got our fourth payment request as well just recently. Last payment (PCI) is due next!!

Hope your handover plans work out!

We are at 194 days... your build has been going a crazy 4 months longer than ours

Yes I'm impressed too, imagine if they worked at this pace along along

I find GJ to be slow on their invoicing... we've be locked up now for 3 weeks and only just got our invoice yesterday how do they stay in business?
