Only 5 days to go til our inspection and the list is getting shorter

 

 

Laundry

• The magpie vent needs to be completed

Kitchen

• Glass splash back needs to be installed
• All appliances need to be installed

 

External

• Portico needs to be painted

 

 

Monday 13th May 2013

 

Today the portico was painted meaning that all the external painting has now been completed. The painter has also done some touch ups inside.

Wednesday 15th May 2013

Nothing else has been done so far this week, hopefully the splashback will go in tomorrow in time for our PCI on Friday morning. We have already been told the magpie vent wont be done til after our inspection & the appliances wont be installed until hand over so that only leaves the splashback & everything will be done.

Friday 17th May 2013

Today while we were doing our PCI the glass splashback was installed in the kitchen, I'm very happy with the way the colour has turned out & am even happier to find out it goes up the wall behind the range hood as well as along the bench.

 

The blinds were also installed today

 

 



Construction - Week 20

 

With less than 2 weeks til our PCI the list of outstanding things is slowly getting shorter

 

Bathroom & Ensuite

 

• The Basins & Bath are in but they are yet to be fixed
• There is a missing tile on the edge of the bath (so the plumbing for the bath can be connected) this needs to be complete
• The Grout on the splashbacks need to be finished
• The shower drain need to be put in

Laundry

• The laundry Taps need to be installed
• The magpie vent needs to be completed

Kitchen

• Glass splash back needs to be installed
• All appliances need to be installed

External

• All external painting needs to be done

• Gap in brick work above the ensuite window needs to be filled
• The rear garage door needs to be painted and hung

 

 

Monday 6th May 2013

 

Today the external painting began with the render being painted. I'm very happy with the way it has come up.  

Tuesday 7th May 2013

Today the underlay was laid for the carpet

 

Wednesday 8th May 2013

 

Today the plumber returned & connected the bath & fixed the missing tile.

He also connected the laundry taps which now makes the laundry complete (except for the magpie vent which we have been told will be done between PCI & handover)
 

 

 

 

The painters were also back & finished all the external painting except the portico. They also painted the rear garage door.



 

 

 

Thursday 9th May 2013

 

Today the carpet was laid, it is a little browner than what I pictured it to be & the photos make it look even browner than it is & really don't do it justice at all. Although it is browner it still ties in well with our colours

 

 

The tiler was back and finished the grout in the bathroom & ensuite, leaving only the sealing to be done which we have been told will be tomorrow.

 

 

The cleaners were also back today, it has made such a difference to everything to see it clean rather than covered with dust & dirt

 

 

 

 Friday 10th May 2013

 

 Today the basins & bath we fixed and the bathrooms sealed, the shower drains were also put in meaning that the bathroom & ensuite are now complete.

 

 

The rear garage door has been hung, the gap in the brickwork above the ensuite window has been fixed & all the fly screens are on.
