Hope this works 😂 So exciting! Love the Buddha - maybe you could put on a small cement pad and cement it down? Have fun packing! They are deffintely posting haha. X4 times Yeah we are thinking about that or bolting it to a cement pad. But its only a 160$ statue and what if we sell and the new owners don't like it there. Have been thinking about maybe some suculants in the garden bed instead but well worry about that abit later on. Thankyou, my partner has been packed for about 4 weeks now. I'm yet to even start! So much to throw out that i don't want to take over. I'll probably just throw everything into my car and cart it over haha Re: GJ Gardner - Week 16 - Final Fitout cont 109Mar 09, 2018 9:06 am Skcel Thankyou, my partner has been packed for about 4 weeks now. I'm yet to even start! So much to throw out that i don't want to take over. I'll probably just throw everything into my car and cart it over haha At least you are smart enough to realise there is some stuff not worth taking over... When we packed up our rental my dear husband -_- thought it would be easier to declutter once we moved and packed all his junk. So much stuff we moved that we didn't need to lol. Re: GJ Gardner - Week 16 - Final Fitout cont 110Mar 09, 2018 1:07 pm Yes im hoping to have a major declutter whilst packing, typical husbands hahaha Re: GJ Gardner - Week 16 - Final Fitout cont 111Mar 10, 2018 11:56 am marz1983 Yes im hoping to have a major declutter whilst packing, typical husbands hahaha Spent the day packing today and filled up x3 large garbage bags of declutter.. nothing worse than taking stuff into a brand new home that you don't need haha. Yesterday the front and back got leveled nicely for turf. The down sideis there is a 5cm layer of red dirt through the entire house.. goodluck to the cleaners next week!!

Re: GJ Gardner - Week 17 - PCI & Handover 116Mar 12, 2018 7:46 pm Build thread: Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde, NSW Re: GJ Gardner - Week 17 - PCI & Handover 117Mar 12, 2018 8:31 pm A bit of an update, PCI went pretty well. Spent an hour or so going through the house. Yellow dotted all the paint issues and was told they would be fixed up on Monday next week when the painters return. We were satisfied with that mainly because my partner is extremely keen to move in Haha. Also allows us to sneak more dots on anything I missed when we move in before Monday and if we tap any walls with furniture Noticed that they forgot to install a Powerpoint for our washing machine... yay! Have been told they will sort that out as well as our horrible external flood lights which should be 2 way splits instead of these ugly black 1 ways that look like something you put on the front of your car lol. Cleaners arrive tomorrow and will spend a day or 2 cleaning the house. Plumbers have to return to install our free standing bath tub and water tank / pump which is getting done tomorrow. Occupation certificate inspection is Wednesday so everything needs to be completed for that. Turf goes down tomorrow and our rear and front fencing will happen sometime this week as well. Have added some photos didn't get many today but will have more when we move in which is suppose to be Friday afternoon yay!
