I did the whole clean of the house last time we moved so he has no idea how long it takes and I simply don't have time. I'm a bit cranky about it. Hi Vess I'm in total awe of the amazing job you have done with your house. You should do it for a living! As for the rental clean I suggest you prepare a schedule of jobs to do in which your DH figures prominently and make sure to give him the jobs he doesn't like - you may find that he changes his tune!

Hi Vess I'm in total awe of the amazing job you have done with your house. You should do it for a living! Thanks Nerak! I'd say overall I have enjoyed the experience and would live to do it as my real job. I am actually looking into avenues along those lines. Re: Vess's Build - 7 more sleeps til we move 269Aug 09, 2012 2:51 pm After 2 days of frustrations with Telstra they are reconnecting Internet access at old address because thy have infrastructure and system limitations. I am uploading pics tonight. Bevvy of frantic activity at our place and we have door furniture, door stops, light fittings and all plumbing bits connected. The place is full of rubbish and dirt and people. Hired an industrial vac for the full weekend. All trades except carpet layers will be finished by Saturday arvo. Hot water and appliances on Tuesday but they are all set up ready to just install now. Can't wait to show you pictures. Re: Vess's Build - 7 more sleeps til we move 271Aug 09, 2012 6:41 pm Loving Telstra at the moment as well. Of course we dont have phone today. After them disconnectng us early at the rental, we now dont have phone connected at the new house as planned, we did however hit the jackpot with someone at telstra who could see that we notified them on the 18th June, that we need cable in the street, they tried to tell us it would be 6 weeks not going to happen, they just came back to us and said a week, still not happy, they told us we would have to make another formal complaint(like we did last week ) to get things progress quicker, stoopid idiots! Re: Vess's Build - 7 more sleeps til we move 272Aug 09, 2012 8:14 pm I punched out a complaint online so ferociously I nearly put a hole in my keyboard. The girl next to me had heard what was going in and had a little giggle coz she knows how fiery I can get. They are supposed to get back to you within 24hrs. I'm hangin onto my agro so I can really let fly. I would hate to work for them. Imagine the abuse you would get on a daily basis.

Seeing the stairwell pendant lit up made me smile! It makes such a difference. Wonderful work Vess. Gogo - what is happening with your WIR? Did you go with Jack in the end or did you find a cheaper company? And what about your study?

Gogo - what is happening with your WIR? Did you go with Jack in the end or did you find a cheaper company? And what about your study? Just stuck with Jack to do WIR and study, all in laminex, just doing it in matt instead of glossy to save a bit. He said to me yesterday, not next week but the week after, so hoping. Still havent paid him for the work he has done, just said dont worry about money I will give you a better price because you waited, so who knows Vess's Build - 7 more sleeps til we move 278Aug 09, 2012 11:14 pm Loving that beautiful shadow cast by your pendant. FABLEOUS! (No, it's not a typo, it's something my 5y/o mispronounces and the whole family has caught on!). Vess, your kitchen bench has overhang for stools AND an open area at one end? That's what I'd like... If I ever actually get a house that is. OK, I'll stop sooking! Re: Vess's Build - 7 more sleeps til we move 279Aug 10, 2012 5:44 am gogo65 Wow looking fabulousssss Loving the balustrade, and the WIR and the void light and the kitchen sink It all looks fantastic, so jealous of your WIR, wish mine was done I have that other robe in my room too. Not sure how I am going to set all my stuff up. Confused with which part of house is my favourite now after seein that light. Way more lovely than I expected. It's 'chandeleir like' but without looking 'woggy'. I got my little bit of bling.

Well Done on a great job.... your thread has said 7 more sleeps for a few days now... does that mean you are moving on the weekend?? Sorry I might have missed that!! I have updated the thread title for you We were supposed to move this weekend but all the pathways and concrete are being poured on the weekend so we held off til Tuesday (kids in care and school so just easier during the week) so we can drive a truck on the driveway. We will do clothes and boxes but no furniture this Sunday provided we have cleaned up so we can unpack as well. I have a handful of friends n relo's coming to help. Our CCTV and alarm system is up and running so a bit of security. Sensor lights around the perimeter are in so if anyone approaches Gogo will see lights unexpectedly because she has no blinds yet either. regardless, your contract stipulates a payments schedule and SOPA doesn't give provision to that scenario. Your contractual terms appear to stand. Hence get a lawyer, it… 4 11850 Ideally you would engage a landscaper to give you some insight what they may need in the space to make your vision come to life… 1 13624 I ended up going with 'Andrew Belic Construction Co.' https://www.instagram.com/andrewbelicconstruction/ 2 59643 |
