All ours!! We got the keys to our h 395Aug 27, 2010 9:14 pm Well Handover has been and gone. We have the keys to our brand new home!! I still can't believe it's ours and we finally have our home and that we built it. Ha,ha - kept on saying to DH I can't believe this house is ours!! Oh and everything looks so good, I love it all!! And our handover guy was just fabulous - he's 2nd in charge with our builder!! He took us on a tour of the house and told us to open and close everything, make sure we are 100% happy with everything. All the little defects have been fixed, painters have repainted all the walls (and no paint marks on flooring either). We so wish he had been our ss from start to finish because he was so personable, reasonable and really, really friendly. So everything ended on a really good note. And Blanco are replacing my cooktop too! Apparently there is none around at the moment so it is on order and will be installed next week sometime. Oh and I found a chip on my kitchen tiles (found it late this afternoon during walkthrough) and the handover guy was already on the phone to the tiler booking him in to come out first thing on Monday! We said to our handover guy there was absolutely no rush but he said he likes everything sorted asap after handover. DH was busy after handover and has already installed 3 blinds in the bedrooms and one in our ensuite. So it's all looking really good! Eeeeeek, still can't believe it's ours!! Re: n&n02 - It's ours!! All ours!! 396Aug 27, 2010 9:19 pm Congrats n&n!!! Glad to hear that everything went well and the handover guy took good care of you's!! Re: n&n02 - It's ours!! All ours!! 397Aug 27, 2010 9:34 pm What a lovely way to mark the end of your build. I am so glad that you had a nice guy who was proactive and not a real jerk . You guys are going to be so busy over the next little while, but I am sure that you will enjoy every minute of it.

We haven't had the smoothest building ride but it's all over now and we can finally enjoy our new home. Everyone's supportive comments also made it that much easier - so good to have a place to rant where everyone understands . But, I'll still be around for a while yet . I love following and watching everyone's builds and of course the photos people share of their amazing homes. I'll also be sharing heaps more photos myself over the next few weeks so hopefully you will still continue to follow our progression of turning our house into a home. xx Sure looks like the type of track that I fitted to my house.
