Your well wishes are so kind. So as you know it was really touch and go with getting the final payment made to be able to pick up keys but it was all well in the end. I went into the Docklands office and my construction lady gave me a folder and explained all the contents: keys, warranties, cleaning guides etc. she said that I can still call my SS for 4 weeks incase I spot something and after that I can still contact my construction liaison for 12 months. After the 13 months they do an inspection. In the house there was a microfibre mop kit with cleaning solution because you can't clean the laminate wood flooring the regular way! We moved 2 truckloads and still have a little bit to go (gym equipment!) but we moved everything else. It was a hell of a car ride with 5 cats in their carriers but last night they settled really well. They are a little on edge today now that I've opened the blinds and they can see outside! It was a sleepless night last night for all. Our appliances are getting installed on Wednesday (hot water and kitchen appliances) and the ducted heating is getting programmed on Thursday. The NBN saga continues. Apparently there IS a blockage in the pipes under the footpath but worst of all the land developers have known about this since December 2013 and were supposed to get it fixed. I have to call PEET head office tomorrow and see what can be done...I also have to call Telstra and cancel everything!

Please see picture. 0 6350 For reference, this is the Austlii reference. My take on this is, that they would be breaking the law denying access to a homeowner in Victoria, or their agent from having… 1 9094 |
