Almost there!!!
Everything is looking pretty good. All that is left is the carpet has to be laid, the glass splashback has to be installed, feature wall painted, security screens to go up and the gas put on (which is supposed to happen today). There is also the matter of a few small problems which are going to be fixed if they haven`t already. The painter still has to repaint a part of the front of the house which he painted the wrong colour, the electrician has to come back and install some more lights as he mistakenly didn`t give us a batten light over the kitchen bench (and we were going to install some strip halogen lights there) so a repair would have to be done to the ceiling so it was decided by all that the best solution was just to install some more down lights over the bench. The other problem is the plumber has done a check on the storm water pipes and discovered the 1 hole we thought we had is in fact 4 or 5 so rather than patch it up he is going to dig it up and replace the pipes in that section - thank goodness for cameras that go down drains!!
D day is next Thursday and then we get to go through the house with the builder and see if we can spot any defects. Derek went through with him on Monday and said that the builder saw a lot more spots than he did so he is quite confident that in the main it will be fine next week. We will begin to move in Thursday afternoon and the main move will be Friday.We are very excited, can`t wait to be out of this house!!
