I hope you get into your house soon, as it is hard to be living out of suitcases when you have kids.[/quote] Yes, I am a bit stressed because of this. Everything was planned but now have to think of what to do in case really can't have handover before Christmas.

I also found new defects which were not in the final inspection. Will put all together and send to M.

I absolutely love love love your large timber step at bottom of stairs! Thanks! Most likely. The curtains and blinds will be installed today. Tomorrow our furniture will be delivered then electrical appliances on Friday. I need to pick up my pendant lights from Beacon as well this week!

It's like deja vu looking at your house Re: FIRST HOME – METRICON WINCHESTER 28 170Dec 19, 2018 8:40 am Kimmykim blackcat20 You're going to need a lot of soil Yes.... 😓😓😓 We put 15 cubic metres into our back yard. I thought it was a lot but it got used up so quickly.

I thought it was a lot but it got used up so quickly. Don't think I can do that by myself. Hubby only coming this Sunday. Thanks for the information. I was only told by Metricon that we need to get our own power supply yesterday and now we are hoping the service provider will connect us with power as soon as possible which they told us 3 - 5 business days. 😓 We still have the electricity now but not sure when M will disconnect it. How was yours at that time? Re: FIRST HOME – METRICON WINCHESTER 28 173Dec 19, 2018 10:46 am Kimmykim blackcat20 We put 15 cubic metres into our back yard.

How was yours at that time? Seriously? Ours was connected as part of the build and they just transfer the account to you at handover.
