Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Our Better Built Homes Journey 94Sep 02, 2017 9:05 am 2 September 2017: Things are still humming along at the Kruse35. We said goodbye to our site supervisor Aaron on Friday but our new SS Peter sounds like he knows what he is talking about which is great. So a quick recap of what happened this week. We had all of the door handles installed as well as door stops meaning doors can now be closed! Then we had plumbers come in and install all of the taps, toilets and shower heads in all of the bathrooms, laundry and kitchen. Electrical continued with the installation of more downlights and ceiling fans and the gyprockers came in to iron out a few bumps in the walls. Overall another satisfying week as we move another step closer to getting the keys! As always, here come the pics.

Re: Our Better Built Homes Journey 95Sep 02, 2017 7:29 pm 3 September 2017: A really quick update here. We popped by and noticed that the air con vents have been installed and some little bits of carpentry work was also done. However the big surprise was that the privacy screens had arrived and were installed in the balcony. I had always thought that I would just take them straight down after we got our OC but you know what....they look so much better than I thought they would. By the way my wife is a professional photographer so you might notice that today's pics look heaps better than the pics I usually post that I have taken.

This week started with the installation of shower screens in all bathrooms. We finally had our back window installed which meant our house is finally safe from wet and wild elements. The correct Caesarstone benchtop was installed in our master bathroom with waterfall edge! Carpenters came in and installed the step to our home theatre, fixed and patched a large number of wall imperfections and fixed the gap between the stairs and the gyprock. They also installed all of the outdoor square cornices in the balcony, laid the small tile splashbacks in 3 bathrooms and put the final fitting for the aircon fittings. Last but definitely not least the Hills Hub was installed meaning all TV points and data outlets were installed along with the alarm system.

Re: Our Better Built Homes Journey 99Sep 17, 2017 7:02 am 17 September 2017: We are getting closer and closer to our endgame in our building journey. Had a chat to our SS and he said that we have a tentative PCI date for 3rd October which had me shouting for joy over the phone to my wife! He says if all goes according to plan we may even get keys between 10 - 17 October which would be amazing. So what happened this week? Well let me tell you! All electrical was completed. This included the downlights to everything and also included our "earrings" at the front of the house and pendants in the kitchen which we are ecstatic that they are all working together. Not to mention the fact that we were so surprised when the lights actually turned on and we could see them in all their glory for the first time! All wardrobe, linen and pantry fitouts were also done and look ridiculously awesome. (WIR brought a tear to my wife's eye!). We are nearly there. Plumbing is due to be finalised on Tuesday. Painters are giving final coats on Friday. Can't wait to see the finished product. Lot of pictures coming so be warned.
