Handover... At Last!

For those that are following we have handover. This is just a rough outline to keep it update and I will comeback when I have time to properly update the blog. So much has happened very quickly and I haven't had a chance to update the blog but I will sort that out soon enough.

We have been given the keys to our house on Friday 27th October 2017 at about 5:15pm

Everything was getting quite tight with regard to timeframe because the settlement for our existing house was due 31st Oct 2017 but we made it.

We had lots of things organized for the weekend with handover expected on the Friday at some stage.

Our first furniture deliver arriver at 7:15PM on Friday evening and the first deliver truck with our belonging arrived at our new house at about 10:30AM saturday morning. In between we had the curtain installer arrive at a few minutes after 7AM Saturday morning to install the curtains.

Yes, it was running on a very tight timeline and fortunately it all worked out fairly smoothly.

Anyway, more to come!

Terrace - Privacy Screening

For those of you that are interested in what the basic privacy screening looks like in the upper terrace here you go. We had overlook privacy concerns on the Terrace/Lounge side of our house. Our house upper bedrooms and terrace overlooks our neighbours windows/rooms and this isn't allowed.

Landscaping Design Ideas

So I can't show you our plans as yet because they are still in progress. But I can go through some of the ideas that are included.

Front Yard.

Our street is quite busy with additional parked cars at each house and I didn't want to add to the overflow. Besides our main driveway I had a idea to add a parking area at the opposite side to the driveway to allow parking for guests or in some years our kids cars to be parked neatly off the street.

External Tiles Installed.

Late last week the external tiles were layed. The external area where tiles go are just the standard areas - front Balcony and rear Terrace, When going through the colour selections at World of Style you get the option to add tiling to the other outdoor areas if you would like too.

Carpet!

This should be a quick post. Our carpet was installed over the last couple of days. They still have the carpet on the stairs and 1 bedroom to go. Apparently they will come back to finish of in a week or so.

Our colour selection for the carper and underlay is:

Carpet - Category 3 Lenton Brae in Desert Echo Colour
Underlay - Steplux Blue

Brickwork is Done - Yes actually Done!

After a long process our bricks are actually done. They have completed all of the brickwork including finishing window sills, patching mortar and all of the garage.

First House Clean & Caulking

A quick post mainly to keep track of timeline for myself and those interested in when things are likely to be done..

Our house had it's first clean ready to caulking.
