Approx 16th December viewtopic.php?f=31&t=44051 Knockdown and building Henley's Talise Q2 - We have keys! 291Nov 26, 2011 6:20 pm Trudy, Our admin and SS were fine with having an inspector, they seemed to expect it. They emphasised how important it was to get the report to Henley quickly but did not try to talk us out of it. Our SS was confident nothing serious would be found. He also made it clear to the inspector to keep it legit, including no torches to examine the paint, but otherwise was fine at the time. He thought some of the things in the report were pedantic but everything was fixed. We have a moat around the house again, but within 2 weeks we should have the concrete and drainage done... We visited our former neighbours today, who sold a week before us and have finally moved into their new M home. Similar layout but a bit smaller than the Talise. Good luck for Monday!

Our inspector was fabulous - stayed for an hour and checked the whole place very carefully. He found there were holes in the roof where birds could get in so advised they were filled. Also, some minor paint work, capping off Stella sections jutting out from retaining wall, clearing rubbish off site, stains on Ceasar stone... Can't remember any more. We were very happy with everything. Just waiting now until the bank gets their butt over there so we can have our keys already. Trudy Re: Knockdown and building Henley's Talise Q2 - We have keys 298Dec 08, 2011 5:19 pm Congratulations Trudy! Now get them out of your hands and into the front door - get in there woman! Oh my, you guys, Ger and us, all in our new homes for Christmas. Unreal. Re: Knockdown and building Henley's Talise Q2 - We have keys 299Dec 08, 2011 10:25 pm we stuck around in the house for ages after the supervisor left - just taking it all in. amazingly, this is what we have lined up to happen over the next 5 days: - bamboo delivered - WIR measure - bamboo installation - carpet installation - plantation shutters installation - fridge and dryer delivered and installation - appliances connected from henley - driveway prep - telstra homeline connected - alarms installed - WIR fitout installation and then... we move on friday the 16th. i didnt think it would be possible to get all of our tradies out to the house all at the same time, but somehow its all worked out.

At our end the landscaping is nearly done, we are just waiting for the pool fence. The world's biggest deck is done, paving around the pool, side paths and the small patch of grass.

The pool solar hot water is on the roof; it's a large rubber mat through which the water is pumped. We received our pool cover and the automatic vacuum cleaner and its been busy cleaning the pool all afternoon. The water has gone from green to blue already.
