No glass yet hopefully early next week! Could be locked out this time next week! Re: Celebration Homes - Mason Green Piara Waters [Ceilings] 49Sep 14, 2016 12:20 pm Went last night after dark and the windows and sliding doors have all been installed also the ceiling is up minus the cornices. Really starting to look like a house internally now. Our new home consultant told us on Monday that mid week we would also have carpenter on site to install shelving and hang doors. Currently tracking a month ahead of schedule and lock up is scheduled for 22nd of September! Re: Celebration Homes - Mason Green Piara Waters [Ceilings] 50Sep 21, 2016 1:03 pm How's it coming along mate? Have just finished reading your journey, sounds like they're flying along. What happened with the gap between slab and wall near the garage? I'm also building with Celebrations, but won't start until Jan/Feb. Doesn't sound like you've had any issues to speak of so far!

Have just finished reading your journey, sounds like they're flying along. What happened with the gap between slab and wall near the garage? I'm also building with Celebrations, but won't start until Jan/Feb. Doesn't sound like you've had any issues to speak of so far! Definitely flying along. Seems to have slowed down a bit now the structure of the house is complete. We hadnt seen the house since Wednesday so guessing cornices must have started on Friday but weren't complete when we had a look on Monday. Also no shelves or doors as of Monday and were expecting them to have started that mid last week. We are still definitely well ahead of schedule and hopeful to get keys before December. The gap is still there and just mostly filled up with plaster spatter. When bought up with celebrations they said it would be filled up. We noticed it before the bricks started and were more worried we would end up with a smaller hallway but brickie obviously picked up on it too and thats how the gap happened. Once they fill it up with something and tile over it you wont ever have known about it. Every issue has been so minor that if we even bothered to bring it up with them the response was what we figured it would be anyway. I would definitely recommend them to anyone and hopefully you have a similar experience, looking forward to seeing your house build thread! Tomorrow is the scheduled lock up date so probably go have another look then. Re: Celebration Homes - Mason Green Piara Waters [Ceilings] 52Sep 21, 2016 2:14 pm Excellent! Hopefully the rest continues as smoothly for you. Thanks - I'll definitely add my own build thread, but as I'm waiting on titles and finance I'll hold off for now!

Also shelves to robes, linen and pantry installed. Render to the front of the house also started Friday and completed Saturday. We are pretty sure we have got enough quotes and seen enough samples etc to sign up with a company for our window treatments also so probably lock that in next week when we get a final quote from them.

Booked our PCI meeting in for the 31st! All benchtops in now and wet area tiling complete. Re: Celebration Homes - Mason Green Piara Waters [Tiling] 59Oct 17, 2016 2:47 pm Appliances have been installed and pretty much all electrical work has been completed. Abit annoyed about the LED positions in the main living area as we spent alot of time during pre start being specific about how I wanted them spaced out, which has not been done. I have emailed our construction co-coordinator so hoping for a good outcome there. The sparky's also made a mess of the facebrick in the garage trying to find one of the power outlets.. I dont know why they smashed the brick in the garage trying to find it, seeing as the point is on the inside of the house in the hallway. 3 bricks have been damaged and hoping they some how get fixed. Re: Celebration Homes - Mason Green Piara Waters [Tiling] 60Oct 20, 2016 10:22 am Not hopeful on getting the LED's moved, which is annoying because we added extra LED's because of the layout we were very specific on. So a word of warning, if you want your electrical in a specific location then either have it dimensioned on the drawing or do it yourself after handover. Also the builder is saying the brick damage was vandalism not the tradie. Not sure what goes through the head of vandals but if I were to do something to an empty house it would be smash a window and steal the appliances rather than chip away at facebricks in the garage that are in the specific location of a power point on the other side of the wall.. As long as it is fixed I guess it makes no difference to us. So far this week we have had the main area tiles layed, fly screens installed, Air Con installed and the pavers delivered. As far as I can tell left to do apart from clean up and fix ups: Pavers installed Wall paint (3 coats) Door paint and handles Sliding Doors for Robes Garage Door Carpet Joe, it depends on your certifier but we are noticing the ones we deal with are really cracking down. So i would recommend you follow your approved landscaping plans to… 4 10986 Hi Simeon, Thank you for laying it down for us. Makes sense. Appreciate it very much. Have a nice day.
