Browse Forums Building A New House Re: ALMOST PCI Valeco Homes - Polished Concrete + Monochrome 441Apr 23, 2018 10:48 pm Hey! Pretty slow. Haha. But, they have almost finished the alfresco. So all that is left, I think, is the door infills and some external painting (and landscaping, though I think this can be done after PCI?) We were expecting a call late last week for a PCI date but we didnt hear anything. I assume this means it will be next week. Re: ALMOST PCI Valeco Homes - Polished Concrete + Monochrome 442Apr 24, 2018 7:12 pm PCI Friday afternoon!!!

Call the removalist! Re: PCI on 27/04/18 Valeco Homes - Polished Concrete + Mono 448Apr 27, 2018 10:22 pm staceyrussell Ah yes, I forgot to mention we upgraded all our kitchen appliances to Bosch. We are getting this induction cooktop: http://www.bosch-home.com.au/productlis ... PVS875FB1E We did also but installed them in my current house and will swap them over when we move, May rent it out for a bit first. We got the 60cm version of that cooktop, the series 8 pyrolytic oven, series 6 dishwasher and series 8 washing machine. All German made range. After we move I want to buy the microwave combi oven and have a spot for it in my appliance tower but nowhere to put it in here so I will wait. I absolutely love love love the oven, the cooktop is fantastic too, I just need some baking dishes that work on Induction so I can make more use of the combi zone The dishwasher is so quiet I have to put my ear against it to tell if it’s on and washing machine is great too, we got this when we got the other appliances because our old Electrolux one broke down. My hubby is so impressed with the Bosch stuff he’s even considering getting a Bosch fridge after the move but I love my year old Samsung french door so it seems a bit wasteful just to match viewtopic.php?f=31&t=89059 Re: PCI on 27/04/18 Valeco Homes - Polished Concrete + Mono 449Apr 27, 2018 10:28 pm How did PCI go Stacey? Re: PCI on 27/04/18 Valeco Homes - Polished Concrete + Mono 450Apr 28, 2018 2:28 am Sorry for the delayed update. Had to sort through all my images PCI went pretty well! We had a private inspector join us and he said it was above average with no major defects and only low minor defects. Mostly paint stuff, the biggest thing was that there is some sunlight coming into the roof towards the back of the house so there's a hole there somewhere to be fixed. The electricians misinterpreted our plans and put normal switches in most of the house, when they should all be saturn zen matte black. The bobcat hit our window hood so they have to completely replace it. HAHA. Our flood light out the front is blocked by part of the facade so they are moving it (we even queried the positioning during the colour appointment but they said the placement would be fine, it's obviously not). They still need to sand and seal the alfresco. And a few other bits and pieces, won't bore you with the specifics. Supervisor said rectifying the defects might take 2-3 weeks. So we'll see how we go! I will post images in the next post. Our concrete flooring is amazing (though its still really dusty, house hasn't been cleaned yet) Re: PCI on 27/04/18 Valeco Homes - Polished Concrete + Mono 451Apr 28, 2018 2:38 am Front DoorLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ KitchenLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Living/KitchenLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Living/Kitchen from AlfrescoLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Living/AlfrescoLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Living/AflrescoLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ AlfrescoLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ OfficeLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ TheatreLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Bedroom 2Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Kids Retreat/Study NookMy mum demonstrating use of the study nook.Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Kids RetreatLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ BathroomLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Main BedroomLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ EnsuiteLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ EnsuiteLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: PCI on 27/04/18 Valeco Homes - Polished Concrete + Mono 454Apr 28, 2018 10:33 am !!!!!!!! amaze !!!!!!!!! that floor Stacey is heaven! and those stone benches really tie it together.

Yup, it's the standard cover. I thought they were going to be those circle ones, but I'm not too fussed.

I'm getting super excited now, not long to go! We are heading to a nursery tomorrow to decide on plants for our gardens. We will need to start packing soon too. I'm really looking forward to throwing out/donating so much stuff so we can live somewhat minimally. Almost Handover - Valeco Homes - Polished Concrete + Monochr 460Apr 29, 2018 1:35 pm Congratulations your so close to handover stacey . Love your square set ceilings, I’m pretty sure you have them, your photos looks so crisp. Love the dark fc infills above your windows too . When you get a chance watch the last couple of videos. The cracks are pretty bad, it's almost as though he hasn't put any reo in that corner and hasn't compacted/levelled… 2 3358 You are fine. The concrete is never going to explode. Worse case scenario is that it develops a crack from different rates of expansion but hopefully it's got some… 5 4509 |
