Yesterday was our big inspection. It went relatively well, and after 2 hrs and about 300 red dots we emerged with 4 pages of items to be corrected - most of which were paint related (scuffs, scratches, dents, etc). The bricks will need to be re-cleaned, some grout issues resolved, a pane of glass in the ensuite shower fixed, a leaking tap over the spa rectified and 2 panels of the garage door need to be replaced.
All that being said, we still don't have a glass splashback in the kitchen. If this can get installed this week we have a hope (very small) of having handover on the 9th May - next Friday. As it seems this is highly unlikely, handover will be on Friday 16th May, with us moving in on the 17th. It would be great if it was next Friday, as this would give us a chance to do the concrete and fencing prior to moving in. Then again, we will get more compensation if handover is on the 16th - so it's a toss up which would be better.
This week we visited Bunnings to obtain a step ladder, light globes and a temporary letterbox until we get around to building the brick one. We also visited a homewares store on the weekend to buy some new small appliances and a matching coffee table to the TV unit we have on order ready to be delivered as soon as we are in. It's all very exciting - 17 days!!!
Still to arrange - getting written quotes for fencing, a concreting contractor to do our driveway and path (minimum), and as soon as we have a set handover date we can also book in the carpet laying. I also need to get a quote from a locally recommended blind company that are apparently cheap. Oh, and booking a moving van - anyone vollunteering their help for that day?
Money money money...
