Enjoy getting your keys tomorrow, hope everything goes well viewtopic.php?t=89059 Re: Building the Hampton with Allworth Homes 191Jan 23, 2018 6:21 am Thanks everyone. Well as of this morning we still haven't heard from the bank on how our final cheque is coming along. Last night I emailed our Broker to ask if he has heard anything and he replied informing me that he had broken his wrist and has got around to checking anything yesterday he will check for us this morning and hopefully we can pick our cheque up this morning. As much as we dont want to accept the house if it's not 100% we will accept minor things as were currently paying around $700 a week between mortgage and rent which is really hurting. We went out to the house again yesterday afternoon late and everything has been cleaned up, windows are shiny and clean and floors are all mopped and carpet vacuumed but still no fly screens. Come one bank, it's all depending on you now viewtopic.php?f=31&t=89450&start=20 Re: Building the Hampton with Allworth Homes 193Jan 23, 2018 1:47 pm 23/01/2018- I called the bank this morning asking if our bank cheque was completed and they advised it was. So I dragged my 2 kids to the bank to discover it was all finalised on paper but not electronically and it wasn't actually ready at all. 2 hours later of lugging them around the shopping centre and chasing their fly away balloons that they were given, the cheque was finally ready and I had 1/2 hour to spare before inspection time of our house. Inspection went amazing, the finish of our home is pretty close to perfect with a few things to be rectified but nothing major. Our site supervisor had the painter onsite and we went through and put pieces of tape on any defects so it could be rectified there and then. Our kitchen sink was ruined yesterday by the cleaners, looks like they poured some sort of acid cleaner down the sink and there is all black marks everywhere. Our site supervisor has Timpelle kitchens coming out tomorrow to check it out and if it can't be fixed they will give us a new kitchen sink. The laundry shelves are only white melamine when they were meant to be truffle lini, he seemed a little surprised at this and I will be forwarding him the emails regarding the colour choice. Our appliances will be delivered on Monday and installed on Tuesday. We decided we were satisfied enough to take ownership and exchanged the cheque for our keys there and then. We are very happy and excited to begin settling in and making it our new home.

Congratulations and all before you were booted out of your rental and made homeless. I’m do happy for you!!! viewtopic.php?t=89059 So happy, we just went there and enjoyed a cider while sitting on the floor and enjoying the fact that it's officially ours Tomorrow we have our sewer booked to be connected, hopefully our tank us empty enough as I got it pumped out this afternoon. Our concretor is planning on coming out on Thursday to start digging and levelling and begin pouring next week. He's also levelling our backyard while there so we can turf. Now I need to figure out a plan of attack for tomorrow, take my kiddies out to the house and give it a bit more of a clean so we can begin our move I guess. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=89450&start=20 Re: Building the Hampton with Allworth Homes 199Jan 23, 2018 7:44 pm Congratulations!!
