I Like The Way You Move!

Well we are in packing mode at the moment. Brett and I hate packing – lucky this is the death nest LOL!

We have 3 locations of storage so it is going to be fun getting it all back in – only good thing is this time around there are no stairs in the house!

Second last assignment has been completed only one more left for next Tuesday!

Things are on track!

It’s the Final Countdown

WOW……time is ticking away not long until we get the keys…..less then 48 hours away!

Everyone keeps asking me if I am excited… the problem is I have a major assignment due is 48 hours so I am feverishly trying to get it ready to hand in tomorrow (its over 100 pages) and another presentation next Tuesday….. so at the moment I am not really that excited – I am more focussed.

Everything is in place:

- Insurance
- Electrician
- Locksmith
- Antenna Man
- Phone Line

Moving and unpacking will be the killer as we have so much stuff!

Next steps will be:

- Retain Walls
- Fencing
- Gates
- Fill
- Turf

Then all the other landscaping…… I think now is the time the real work begins.

I have discovered how to blog from my iPhone using BlogPress (Thanks Katrina) so I should be able to update you on all progress over the coming week of madness LOL

Final Draw Down

Whoo hoo just got our final house building invoice and with variations we are only out of pocket $640.00 (Plantation even gave us $500.00 back)!

Bring on next Thursday!

Walk Through

We had our walk through yesterday with SS - here are some of the pics.... nearly there!

The count down is on!

Handover – Lock it in Eddie!

We have received some great news!

We now have our official hand over date of…..

Thursday, 21 October 2010!

That is 13 days ahead of schedule!

Now for the coordination of more trades, moving and landscaping begins!

Feeling The Lock Up

When we visited the house last weekend we are now in full lock up stage with the garage door on!

Looking good!!!!!

We seem to think we have another 4-6 weeks left – coming in earlier than the contracted date if all goes well!

Hand Over Date

We have received confirmation that our hand over date is going to be Wednesday, 3 November 2010.

This is the fixed term date between our builder and Brett and I, if they go over this date then they have to pay us $300.00 per week.

At the rate that things are going to don’t believe this is going to be a issue.

We were also advised that once the kitchen cabinetry goes in they will be able to give us a better idea of the date (meaning sooner)!

At this stage we are very happy with how things are going!
