I really hope the gas issue is sorted out this week, hanging out to see your move in pics... Bunny is adorable ! Re: {dawn} SE Melb Build - Driveway done! 1306May 28, 2017 6:22 pm Thanks!! I really like the pendants, I can't wait to see them all lit up, especially the one in the hallway. Hehe, I will take a LOT of pictures when I move in for you all. Hopefully move in is soon! I have a 3 week count down going in my head, but I think this gas issue is going to be the decider. D Her name is Vivien. I was going to change it, but sort of suits her. I'm surprised at how little she is!! My last girl bunny was quite a bit larger than my boy.. XD she's so light and fluffy.

Oo; Wonder what they are for. Maybe it's a security system??? Re: {dawn} SE Melb Build - Driveway done! 1311May 28, 2017 7:40 pm Looks great Build thread http://tinyurl.com/llgc7yk Re: {dawn} SE Melb Build - Driveway done! 1312May 28, 2017 7:44 pm Finally caught up on Everything.... It's all looking fantastic! Super jealous of your concrete everywhere. We have a mud pit surrounding us 😐 It looks like just the final touches now. Eeekkkl so exciting it's all coming to an end now 😀😀😀 Re: {dawn} SE Melb Build - Driveway done! 1313May 28, 2017 8:21 pm DD Hehe. I am loving the concrete, I have some concerns about being able to tile over it or pave the porch, but I love that its done!! No mud pit around the house... I can walk from every entrance around the house without having to go off the concrete XD I love greenery, but the concrete just is so simple and easy. I will put a lot of potted plants around I'm glad the builder was able to do it and I didn't have to organize it after the house was done. I'm so jealous of your gorgeous house!! Your feature walls are wow!! Hehe, I'm starting to get excited, I really want to see the carpet.. and render and fence..!! Just can't wait to move in.

It's really so close to being finished - at long last. Those mystery wires have me stumped. I thought security system too. But wouldn't there be a keypad somewhere? Re: {dawn} SE Melb Build - Driveway done! 1316May 29, 2017 8:00 am Haha! The mystery wires!! Maybe they are my surprise, maybe its a surprise alarm system.. but I still would have put they would have installed it during the electrical fit out.. Here's some pics, see if you can work it out.

Re: {dawn} SE Melb Build - Driveway done! 1317May 29, 2017 5:01 pm Really hoping this week something big happens... *fingers crossed* It's just.. crazy how hopeless this whole thing feels when every week goes by without handover.. I'm pretty sure my builder is now over the contracted build period, will be interesting to see if I get anything off the final payment amount, suppose to be $250 a week..

Did they send you a commencement notice? Work out your site start and your contract dates and when you get the final invoice definitely question it if they don't take the money off. Re: {dawn} SE Melb Build - Driveway done! 1319May 31, 2017 12:20 am I've been thinking about your mystery wires and Ive decided it must be a security system. I've eliminated a doorbell because you don't need one in the dining area and smoke alarms, I don't think they'd put one in the dining room so can't think of anything other than a security system. I went back to your first post on this thread and you said that the the build started on 1 October. And I calculated the 270 days and it takes it to 28 June. Don't they realise that they get paid when they finish? Hope you're in really soon x I work with owner, he/she is my man on the ground and I instruct them when to visit the site and take photos and I have other tools in the bag. 4 15284 I am in the same situation, would you be able to give some insights in to this?
