And we had our PCI this week. Nothing major, mostly minor things with a few medium things. We're hoping for keys on Friday but should be early the following week at the latest (from what we were told). Regardless, we'll be in within the fortnight anyway! Have spent the whole weekend packing and we're pretty much done. As soon as we get the call we'll be organising furniture delivery and the chaos will begin... Anyway, here are the overdue photos! Last lot before, possibly, the "moved in" ones. Exterior: Missing our finnials (the stick features) on the gables, will need to add on our nicer lighting to the front of the house, complete our crossover and obviously landscape. We also plan to paint our door a MUCH darker grey. We knew it would be light (because they wouldn't let us paint darker due to fading, so stupid) but it looks WHITE. Ugh.

It's a different colour to the ones on the other side of the estate but we prefer this one. We're also happy to get a real idea of our yard now. It is small, but we think it should be big enough for us. We have no one behind us yet but it feels very private as our neighbour is slightly higher than us, and we're higher than the other one. Interior: Our bathtub needs tiles fixed, our shower door and towel rail have created a fiasco there which needs to be fixed also. Some socket covers missing as well, and need to be replaced to the covers we selected. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Minor bedrooms all have double robes, floor to ceiling sliders! We weren't expecting that. Carpet is a standard with builder but is very nice.

You can see they need an extra row of tile around the tub as I had previously made a complaint about this finish.

The linen also has the "broom cupboard" for storing upright things, and you can see our bench has been fixed! Not convinced wall colour goes with the tiles but I'm hoping I'll get over it. It's the only room where the colours don't really go so it could be worse.

I am so in love with how EVERYTHING turned out. From the feature tile, to extended tiling, all our colours go...I love it. We also have a walk in pantry but I didn't take a photo.

BASICALLY I'm just super happy with everything! Fingers crossed for a smooth move because I'm not expecting it to be remotely enjoyable. Re: Building our first home in (Trinity) Alkimos, WA. 57Aug 09, 2015 10:56 pm Yay congratulations on a successful PCI - and what a beautiful home you have there. I love the paint colour in your living dining - what is it? Your kitchen and bathrooms are beautiful. I actually prefer gables without the filials It sounds like you're super organised if you're more or less done packing - so I'm sure it'll go well. Looking forward to some moved in pics too! Re: Building our first home in (Trinity) Alkimos, WA. 58Aug 09, 2015 11:16 pm Thank you! It's called Kitty Grey, the whole house is in that colour. I love the gables now without them but hopefully it just adds to them! They cost a fair bit to add so they better add to the look! Well we aren't coming from our own house which is probably why! Still at home so it's just packing up bedrooms and our hoards of goods for the house which thankfully are all still boxed up. Don't think it'll be long until the house is full Thanks NativeZen! I can't wait to start landscaping, though it's going to be a while away yet. No movement on site yet as of the weekend. Hoping to see some earthworks… 3 2150 Can anyone give me any onfo on New Homes WA? Good or bad, hopefully good just need to know if my choice was good or not?
