Already bought a set from Bhumi, but paid quite a bit more! Kind of wish I bought two sets actually...
Also ended up Daniel's Donuts.. YUM.
Good old Costco haha. Did you end up going down this weekend to have a peek?
Browse Forums Building A New House Re: {dawn} SE Melb Build - 2wk Countdown 1272May 23, 2017 6:16 pm Got a call from the shutter people today, the need to do a second measure. Spoke to the builder and they will let them on site, which is good because I can't get anymore time off work before my leave on the 5th. Not sure what I'm going to do about PCI/Handover... My boss actually asked if I'd cut my leave back to only 1 week... NO. I have waited 3 years for this house, I'm having 3 weeks to enjoy it (I hope!!) Re: {dawn} SE Melb Build - 2wk Countdown 1273May 23, 2017 6:33 pm I'm the same Dawn, had the builder do a lot. I'm doing Air con though because they quoted $5000 and I know I can do it so much cheaper! I also have to do security doors myself, I didn't like the styles they had. Re: {dawn} SE Melb Build - 2wk Countdown 1274May 23, 2017 7:08 pm Yeah, just seemed easier that way. Wow $5,000 is a lot. I think I spent about $3k on the split system in my lounge. Same, I didn't want them to do the security doors in case they put in ugly ones.. figured I'll pick my own. Re: {dawn} SE Melb Build - 2wk Countdown 1275May 23, 2017 7:14 pm Checked the quote. Split system was included in base price Will call the builder tomorrow and confirm if the gas went in. *fingers crossed* I'm feeling both more relaxed this week and more stressed. I'm so glad I'm close to the end, but there's so many things that need to happen.. and timing everything is going to be a right pain.. Re: {dawn} SE Melb Build - 2wk Countdown 1277May 24, 2017 12:21 pm Hate my life. Dont know that builder will make 3rd and boss is basically demanding I change my leave but is offering no alternatives. So sressed and harrassed my head is going to explode.

Honestly I am more excited for you to get keys than for us. Your work can't deny you approved leave so just stick to your guns. If the house is within the next 2 weeks you may have a little time off to pack and prepare things. Ours got pushed a week and if already scheduled the time off work too so have spent the first week getting sorted. It's amazing the amount of stuff that needs to be organised. Re: {dawn} SE Melb Build - 2wk Countdown 1279May 24, 2017 5:43 pm Thanks Kat. I'm just so upset. I was actually thinking about maybe moving my leave, because I'm not confident the house will be ready... but the way my manager approached me about it was horrible. Just tried to make me feel guilty for not being there and didn't offer any alternatives, like moving my leave to later, or taking some now and some later... I spent a lot of time crying in the bathrooms... I am not coping right now.. and its nothing to do with the house, but the bully I'm stuck working for.

If the leave is already approved then they should have planned for that and it's not your problem as horrible as your boss sounds. Try and stay positive. You've been through so much and it's your turn to have some time for yourself to enjoy that beautiful new house of yours xxx I work with owner, he/she is my man on the ground and I instruct them when to visit the site and take photos and I have other tools in the bag. 4 15265 I am in the same situation, would you be able to give some insights in to this?
