Day 232 - 23/6/14 - Handover?


Well, today is officially handover day.  Cough.

Carpet has started upstairs, but work is slow.

Wood floors are almost complete downstairs, and electrical is going, again, slowly.

Things to do this week to try and get handover soon is:

  • Planter Box
  • Electrical
  • Carpet
  • Plumbing
  • Painting
  • Stairs

Major issues we have come across, is the downstairs outside is all painted the wrong colour.  We are deciding if we like it, or whether we will make them repaint it all.

They didnt cut out the dryer duct in the concrete wall, the washing line is the wrong one we paid for and they havent put in a hand held shower rose in the main bathroom.  That could be huge.

Still waiting for windows etc, but check out our 'Problems' page for updates.
