Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Our Acacia Home 848Jun 20, 2018 6:36 am Thanks so much, I’m so excited I’m having trouble sleeping and it’s still 2 days to go before we get keys. Today we have carpets and bedroom blinds going in, I’m meeting with the SS at 8am so he can let the carpet people in. So much I want to buy and do but need to be careful with our $! Hopefully I won’t see any damage from all the rain 🤞🏻 Re: Our Acacia Home 849Jun 20, 2018 9:37 am Your driveway looks great that colour. Good luck with handover. Enjoy your house, you deserve to. Re: Our Acacia Home 850Jun 20, 2018 6:12 pm Thanks well...nothing is ever straightforward with this build!! The carpet layers came and SS let them in, I went back to see them at 1.30 because the blinds people were there putting up the bedroom blinds. Carpet and blinds both make the house look amazing, the carpet guys will be there most of tomorrow finishing off. Other good news is the microwave trim has arrived!!!! It’s not been fitted but it’s there so that’s good. House is looking so clean, the carpet guy said it’s the cleanest new build he has been into. However.... The carpets are too thick and spongy with the underlay to shut the bedroom and wardrobe doors so they have all been taken off to lay the carpet. The doors need about 50mm shaved off the bottom. OMG I can’t believe it so near yet so far. We have decided it won’t stop handover and if necessary we will get a carpenter in to fix them. He was going to speak to our SS when he came to lock up at 4pm, I will go up there early before work and find out what the solution will be (if there is one!) I guess they may say it was up to us to have the carpets fitted before handover so we have to sort it out. Re: Our Acacia Home 851Jun 20, 2018 7:42 pm Trimum ...no pic of your carpet and blinds. My carpet will be lay tomorrow now I'm worry if I have same problem. Thanks goodness that microwave oven trim arrived just in time for handover. Don't know about you I'm getting too excited for you.

I’m loving the colour, no pics of the blinds they are all double roller blinds, just got them for the bedrooms but ordering the rest tomorrow.

Handover soon Our Acacia Home 856Jun 21, 2018 4:26 am ehhc Wow nice staircase What have you selected for downstairs flooring? Handover soon We have tiles downstairs that were put in by the builder, I love carpet (but then I’m English and we have carpet everywhere ) so that means we have no flooring to do post handover. Our real estate agent wants to do an open house on the rental we are living in on Saturday, the house is an absolute mess with boxes everywhere so not sure how attractive we can make it look! Will go down to the house this morning to see if there has been a solution to the carpet/doors situation.... Re: Our Acacia Home 857Jun 21, 2018 3:16 pm this crappy English weather is going to make tomorrow feel extra 'just like home'. lol sorry bad joke i know, couldn't help myself. Re: Our Acacia Home 859Jun 21, 2018 6:34 pm Stair case is beautiful, we have never thought of staining stair case rails. Have you loaded some boxes into your car. Can't wait to see keys in your hands! Build Thread : viewtopic.php?=31&t=81624 Re: Our Acacia Home 860Jun 21, 2018 6:45 pm Went to see carpet people today and had a look at the doors...the linen cupboard and wardrobe doors are mostly all off the bedroom doors looked ok. The sliding door from upstairs lounge to the study also needs adjusting. I phoned the SS he confirmed handover tomorrow!!! Also spoke about the doors and he umm’d and arr’d a bit so I just said we would sort it out post handover. I can’t be bothered now waiting for them to sort it out. I have got in contact with a local handyman who is coming out tomorrow morning to have a look, he said he could sort the doors out. Think it’s the best option. The house has new carpet smell i love it!!!! Need to take the vacuum tomorrow to clean all the fluff up! We already paid for somfy motors for the blinds. The quote above was purely for “pre-wiring” so the blinds company can install the motors and blinds. That’s why we… 5 16858 of course there are legal avenues. You've already mentioned it. Sue them.
