Handover!

We now have the keys!


Unfortunately that is the only picture I have! As soon as we got the keys I went straight in to cleaning. There is a few items outstanding - the dreaded shutters for one!. Front and rear door seals are still sticking a little due to the weather seal. We will see how they bed in over the next couple of weeks.

Otherwise, happy with the result. Unfortunately I have to work today, but will be having tomorrow off to make a start on a few things...Some of the more immediate jobs to attend to:

  • Paint the stairs in the garage - MJH did not include this would you believe? However they painted the sides, just not the treads,, Bit disappointing so they will hear about it in the feedback I provide(already got an email asking for feedback)
  • feature walls in the girls rooms
  • hang one pendant light and another flat light for the entrance
  • Clean clean clean
  • grout sealer
  • Get approval from council to change retaining walls from timber to blocks.

Ideally, I would like to have most of this done by the weekend so we can move in.
We have a concreter coming today to form up a path around the back of the house. Really need to get the water away from the slab! He plans to pour on Friday.

Outdoor setting is delivered tomorrow, TV installed Friday and the fridge arrives he following Tuesday

Ill try and get some pics and update the blog again soon!

  2. Hey brad, if yours is anything like ours it will need a good clean!! Although with flooring to go in we didn't even bother. Our railing for the stairs was painted but the treads weren't either. Seeing as it was white that was probably a good thing! I'll be up over the weekend and come say g'day.

  3. Thanks Mel! Will upload a couple of photo's shortly! Unfortunately have had to continue working this week, so by the time we get there it is dark and then having to take the girls around all night to dancing is a bit hard. I have tomorrow off though.. time for some feature walls :)

    Chris, was speaking to my old man and he reckons they leave them unpainted due to being slippery if they have paint on them. I'm still tossing up what to do with them. Paint + that sandpaper type anti slip strip, or leftover carpet.. Decisions.. :) See you on the weekend. We should be in and out all day as we will start the move hopefully. :)
