We were hoping this week (as it has been 3 weeks since we signed tender / paid deposit...). I am sure there will be tweaks needed for our CC plans, and you just never know if any other hitches with PCA/Council for CC certificate. So we are getting a little nervous. In the next 6 weeks (ie. before 3 week Christmas shut down so we can start on 9 Jan) we need to do following with Zen: - CC plans (and any revisions required, which I am expecting) - Construction Certificate (PCA and Council - not sure how that all works) - Payment Schedule - Revised Inclusions List (which needs to be attached to tender) - Photo of external balustrade (so we know exactly what is included) - Receive, review and sign HIA contract - Get demolition quotes (and book in demo for 9 Jan) In addition, we need to do these things ourselves before Christmas: - Choose carpet and tiles (so building contract price can be finalised, depending on which carpet we choose. NB: Zen are not pushing us on this at all, but I just feel better getting it sorted up front so we know exactly what our budget is) - Second hand wreckers (may be impossible, but the environmental conscience in me wants to re-use as much as possible) - Order front door - Spotted Gum (we found a guy in Toormina, but he wants to communicate via snail mail!! Really. Paper letters with stamps, can you believe it. We didn't think people still operated businesses like this!! ) - Get quotes for solid timber flooring - Sort out (or at least start the process for): gas fireplace, ceiling fans, ethernet wiring, solar hot water system (most likely to use AGI, who Zen work with), utility connections (Mat warned that gas can take 6 - 8 weeks), stepping stones and antenna. Plus of course all the product selections, colours etc. in tender. Phew! Exciting but also exhausting just thinking about it... C'mon CC plans!!!
