Practical Completion Inspection

We had our PCI yesterday and all went really well - no major issues at all. Mainly just paint touch ups, cleaning some areas of brick work, towel rails etc still to be installed and our walk in robe door doesn't close properly but other than that not too much of a list! Of course we will see more things once we move in, and today we have Howard Ryan going through for an inspection to pick up anything we may have missed so will be interested to see that report. Handover is booked in for Tuesday after work - extremely excited! Appliances (except for dish washer) had been installed and look AMAZING! Splashback looks stunning as well, very happy with it.

Have booked in our carpet installation for Wednesday as well as a measure and quote for a Clearshield front door, and our hot water system will go in on Wednesday too so we can pop on our steel strips straight away to try prevent the unit being stolen. We have called a plumber to come out (hopefully he can make it on Wednesday before our fridge goes in anyway!) to install the water point for behind the fridge.

Thursday is moving day! And NBN will be connected on Monday 29th :) Busy times but looking forward to a couple of weeks off work, been a while since we've had a decent break and looking forward to just settling in and making our house a home!

Fence is down!

Yesterday morning I had to duck out to the house as the guy from Accent was there doing the final measure for our shutters / roller blinds, it was awesome to be able to go inside yet again and check out the flooring and the other progress that has occurred over the last week or so. The cleaners were in the other day and the shower screens and windows are looking sparkly and clean :) when I pulled up out the front the first thing I noticed was the security fence was gone! The house looks so much prettier without it! Our flyscreens have also been put up. Sounds like all that is left is splashback, appliances, silicone sealing in the bathrooms and hot water system (which will be lucky last after all the thefts that occurred recently).

We will hopefully have our PCI early next week, hoping to hear from our SS in the next day or so to book it in - very exciting! Hopefully the list will be minimal, we will wait and see :)

The end is nigh!

Took my inlaws to check out the house today as they have been overseas for the last 3 months so the last time they saw the house was when the frames had gone up! They loved it and we came across a few pleasant surprises ourselves, such as the installation of the shower screens, mirror sliding wardrobes and the shelving / cabinetry in our WIR. Other things (that we knew were happening) was the Gerflor flooring has been laid and all our tapware has been installed, as well as our air conditioning! Love the flooring but sure I will love it even more when it is clean but it's completely to be expected that it is dirty and dusty at the moment.

All I can think of that needs to be done before handover is splash back, skirting boards, flyscreens and the ceiling fan in our master bedroom is yet to be installed. There are probably a few other things I can't think of but we are definitely very close to PCI.

Here are some not so good pics of the flooring, taken through the window:
