Re: Our first OB What a ride 232Feb 13, 2011 8:32 am Love that you went with the spotted gum. We are hoping to get that too. Have you got pics of your floors?

I've been so busy working that I haven't really had time to get on the computer and post anything. Change of jobs has helped the house along as I now contract for a stair company installing them Monday - Thursday then work on the house Friday - Sunday. Also if I manage to finish early I sneak off to the house too. Progress thus far is... we have all cabinetry installed (just handles to be fitted). Walls/ceilings painted, I have finished the 'fix' now, the floor has been fully installed and has been sanded and polished (they finished today) YAY . We need the plumber back now. Shower screens are ready to be installed, Garage doors have been ordered (due next week), Deck and verandah material is on site ready to be fixed/fitted, sparkies have powered everything up except our lights, so they are due back next week. Stone bench tops have been fitted. Just waiting for glass splashback to be installed. I think that's every thing that's happened Back to the house tomorrow to work on the verandahs (as I can't go in the house till Saturday due to the floor polishing). Re: Our first OB What a ride 234Aug 08, 2011 10:49 am Well, here we are again. We finally moved into the house on the 1st July. I took a chance and moved in without C of O. Every thing had been connected and certified and we were getting fed up paying rent when the house was livable. We had our C of O inspection last week and it passed. Just have a few minor things to finish off now, but it's so much easier working there either after my day job or at the weekends now. Just got the computer set up so will post some pics (finally) by the weekend. Re: Our first OB What a ride 235Aug 21, 2011 11:25 am Good to hear that you are in now Looking forward to seeing some pics Blog: http://bluemistkids.blogspot.com "Never be afraid to try something new.

Or is both the same? 6 7302 Can anyone give me any onfo on New Homes WA? Good or bad, hopefully good just need to know if my choice was good or not? Thanks ❤️ 0 8948 |
