OMG is all i can say about our wonderful home! Settling in nicely and it's really feeling like home. I've updated the blog with a recap and piccies of our first home project - Project Pantry! lol...priorities right? I'll keep you all in suspense for a lil bit longer and do room reveals as we go along...at the moment its a mish mash of my mum's old furniture and ours that were in storage as our comfy new couches are two weeks out still (that's what you get when you have an awesome SS who gets the house done earlier than anticipated!) Tony your house is looking awesome! So much has been done and I reckon you'll be in before christmas... Really like the way the variation to the entryway and stairs for the dual walkway turned out. Doesn't enclose that space at all...and great idea for the master ensuite bathroom to include the double door! Part of me thinks we should have investigated that... Leanne and Rups - The steam oven! I'd love to tell you about the steam oven but that is a saga in itself! They were booked in two days after handover to be installed, the guys come there and leave not even ten minutes later because the space wasn't the right size! ArRRgghhh...so Rob calls the SS who sends out the cabinet maker and he says he'll be back by the end of the week...well that was about a week ago...we've got to chase them up tomorrow. You're post just reminded me of this! Thanks! Oh and congrats on the TAP!!! I got excited when the portaloo went on site..now that's sad! Until the next project...happy homeoneing!!

Mel Hi MelNRob, I’m really pleased to hear you're loving your new house and are settling in well. Looking forward to seeing some finished photos too. Please keep me in the loop with the progress of your steam oven and if I can be of assistance. Cheers, Ebony Porter Davis Homes Questions?

We're having PCI next week. Any tips anyone? Does anyone have a checklist I can go through? So many things still need to be finished before then, I have a feeling it will be delayed again. We're already 2 months late for handover. Mel, did you have your appliances installed at handover? My SS said he will install it after handover on the day we move in? Is this common practice? I'm not comfortable handing over the cheque if everything is not in place. I can set up the home alarm once I get the keys and if there is any theft, it will be covered by home insurance anyway.
