Things were a bit quiet the last couple of weeks. Two weeks ago the ceilings and cornices went in and the front drainpipes were attached. We finally reached lock up today and all of the doors were installed, along with all of the shelving. This week the plan is to get all of the painting done (everything external and internal other than walls). The bath and cabinets are also due to be installed. Next week the garage floor will be poured and the tilers will be doing the wet areas. I have a lock up meeting scheduled for the 27th to see the progress. I met with the Site Supervisor today to go over my structural inspection report (I am happy with the explanations I received for certain items, and the resolutions to others) and was told that as the industry is quiet at the moment my house should tear along from here and it is unlikely there will be a day where something hasn't been done. I have been told that my PCI meeting will likely be in 5 weeks, so that is a lot quicker than I was expecting. Now I really need to jump on organising the post-handover stuff (soakwells, painting, skirting boards, lighting, window treatments etc.) as I haven't really looked into at all yet :S I will be sure to post some photos later in the week when the cabinets are in!

All of the internal painting was done (ceilings, cornices, doors, door frames) as well as external (eaves, garage ceiling, alfresco). The render and front door were given a base coat and the final painting for those should happen this week. All of the doors are on and shelving has been installed. Wet area tiling is all done and grouted, and all cabinetry and sinks have been installed. The bath has also been installed, and the kitchen splashback has been tiled. Most of the plumbing has been done including all drainage, and the sinks taps have been installed for the bathrooms and laundry. The garage floor has also been poured and intelligent homes have been by to install the data and phone points. I had my lock up meeting on Friday and everything is going well. PCI has now been booked for June 27, so not long to go! This week all of the electrical work will be done (power points, light switches, appliances etc.) and the final plumbing (HWS, kitchen sink, shower taps). The pavers for the alfresco and driveway should also be delivered.

Your house seems to have gone up in the blink of an eye! Re: Celebration Homes Build in Piara Waters WA [Electrical] 69Jun 08, 2016 9:16 pm alexkrad How exciting! Your house seems to have gone up in the blink of an eye! It feels like forever at the time and then when you look back it's like "that was fast". Less than 3 weeks to go until PCI. Last week all of the electrical and plumbing tasks were completed and the pavers were delivered. I went by tonight and they haven't started the paving yet, but hopefully this week. The main floor tiling should also start this week. Tonight I found that they had finished up the painting, including the front render. I can't tell what the colour is like yet though as it was too dark to see it properly. Some of the finishing touches have also been done. The wardrobe mirrored sliders and shower screens are all in, and also the flyscreens and flyscreen doors. There are a few things that I also assume are done but I am unable to see to verify (such as the toilets and the bathroom mirrors). Hopefully everything stays on track. I have booked a week off of work in July so I can get into the painting. So far I have mostly organised my soak wells and crossover, and I am finalising the lighting. I still haven't looked into window coverings yet though :/ Mason Green Estate, Piara Waters with Celebration Homes: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=79358 Re: Celebration Homes Build in Piara Waters WA [Flooring] 70Jun 14, 2016 1:17 am Here are a few more recent photos of the house. Main floor tiling was finished last week. Only outstanding items now are: Carpets, Paving, Garage Door, Final Render/Gable Painting, Cleaning. Looking good for PCI in 2 weeks!

The house was finished off over the weekend and today was PCI! It went really well with only minor issues being found by both myself and the independent inspector. As long as there are no delays with the bank I should be getting my keys next Monday July 4. I will be getting into the painting as soon as I can (once I pick a colour) and have soakwells and lighting arranged for right after handover. I still haven't gotten around to looking at blinds yet though Here are a few of the photos I took during the inspection.

Keys tomorrow morning! Straight into the painting on Tuesday. Spent some time at Solver on Saturday but still don't have a colour. Picked up the sealer and the paint for the wet areas (just going with plain white). Got a few sample tins of colours we liked so we will trial those. Meeting with the landscaper on Wednesday and soak wells will be going in on Thursday or Friday. Still trying to figure out who I can contact to clean up after the soak wells (I need someone that takes away excess sand, can do some levelling at the front for the landscapers and possibly do some compacting). Lighting and other electrical work will be done on Saturday. Still haven't really made a start on blinds. I went to one store to get a rough idea of prices and it sounded like more than I could afford right now ($700 per window for double roller blind). Might have to see what the pricing is like with Ikea or Bunnings. Many busy days head! Good thing I took some time off of work.

I was pretty keen to save some money and do the painting ourselves but then we got it included in our contract and now pretty relieved we dont need to worry about it. Keep up the good work, hopefully the end is in sight! Joe, it depends on your certifier but we are noticing the ones we deal with are really cracking down.
