Settlement Delayed to next week!

Hi guys,

Settlement are delayed to next week!

So I guess we won't be able to move stuff into the house during this Easter break. Its a good thing I suppose? Things are done when they are done. Better let Carlisle finish their work than rushing to get it settled! Plus, fence are not up yet anyway - we are in the middle of sorting that out with a fencing company - just getting the nods from neighbours and fence should go up really quick after that. Hopefully that will be soon.

Oh yeah! Just so you know, I got about 10 quotes for Colorbond fence (and gate) quotes. You'll be amazed how much difference these people charge! I went for the cheapest.. hopefully its a good deal (and worksmanship!)

Heading to Tassy tomorrow for Easter! Devonport, Launceston, Cradle Mountain, Stanley, Tarkine Adventures! woohoo!!

Have a happy Easter holidays!

Cheers!!

PCI done! Settlement on the 21st April!

Hi all~!

We just had our PCI done on Monday and all went well! Its been a long time since I step my foot into my house and looking at all the things inside. Carpets are plushy and soft, walls are gleamingly white.. just missing furnitures! Almost feeling at home already!

Our SS are very kind and took us through room by room - letting us putting red stickers all over the walls for any slightest imperfections. Its been an adventure and we are really happy with the current state of the house albeit there are several things needed to get fixed. Special thanks to NHI for the inspection report and have defects pointed out to them to get fixed.

Settlement date are now also booked in! 21st April. Its time for packing!!

Check list:
Get quotes for fencing, driveway. -ticked-
Find boxes! -untick-
Packing - untick-
Informed current landlord for moving out -ticked-

Hmmm.. what else is there??
So many things to do...

Touching up!? PCI in 2 weeks time.

Just got told from SS and CLE - the house will be ready soon! PCI next week and I just scheduled NHI to do the PCI inspection tomorrow evening.

Hopefully nothing major need fixing but I do hope the defect list will be very long so Carlisle will fix up all them so I can have my perfect home to move into!

We went to take a look at the house yesterday - everything seem to be in order and site was being cleaned out (portaloo's gone!), temporary fences are now gone, etc. I'm not exactly sure how I feel at the moment!? Excitement? Happy or Disappointment? I don't really know?

Here are the pics I've taken yesterday.

First time seeing the renders :) Like the RED!

Deep Entrance - Something me and my wife didn't really like. Would like it to be open than not.

I wonder if I can put a lamp in this junction box??

Time to consider the fencing, driveways and landscaping...

Sigh. Next door's vacant land still on the market (found it on domain).. Hope I dont have to cope the full fencing price for this :(

Any ideas on the driveway? We're thinking exposed asphalt..?
