Browse Forums Building A New House Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Build - 41 weeks out of 27 1658Jul 15, 2017 12:27 pm *happychickendance* Went to the house. Thankfully no one was there, so could have a good look around today. I had intended to do a really thorough check of the house, but I was too nervous about being there!!! So have to wait for PCI to really go through it all carefully. I did get lucky though the laundry door was open, so managed to get an inside peak. Plus they builder has put little blue dots EVERYWHERE. So looks like they are across most of the issues. Only major issues I'm concerned about is the bench/cabinetry around the dishwasher, its a bit average... will put pictures up shortly and the whole place just needs a major clean! Overall its looking really good!! I think they might only need one week after PCI to do handover, hoping anyways!!! Almost everything is done D Concreting was done, carpets are in!! The back yard has been cleared, so fence can finally go up D and all the door handles, toilet roll holders, etc have been done too. Very few things left, and most will probably be done at handover anyways. Left to do list Internal - HWS - Appliances - Paint wardrobe doors - Split system (outside bit only) - Alarm system (waiting on variation) External - Render of house - Levelling/site clean Defects - holes in wall, painting, cabinetry, etc. Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Build - 41 weeks out of 27 1659Jul 15, 2017 12:36 pm Waiting for photos Did you like the carpet? I know you've been waiting ages to see the carpet. That list seems very doable for your timeframe so excited for you!!!

I think I'm happy with the colour.. its not as plush a carpet as I would have liked (only Cat 2), but it will do for a few years till I can reno.
