Tomorrow is the DAY!

Well..I cant believe i have come this far! We will be walking into our own house tomorrow and finally get the keys! We have organised to pick up the cheque today. Got a phone call from Wynstan saying that they will install the Venetians and the flyscreens and security doors except for the plantation shutters on Saturday at 7am! So much for the bunch of temporary blinds might have only needed a few not 14 of them. I think i still have the receipt so i can return the ones i dont use back.
Booked to move our stuff on Saturday as well @ 8am so busy busy busy. But we officially move in on Monday. Driveway gets underway tomorrow and hopefully gets poured Thursday. Painting feature walls that day as well! I cant wait! I will post pics tomorrow after handover. So sit tight guys there is going to HEAPS of pictures! Till tomorrow :) I dont i will get enough sleep tonight.. haha.

Carpets and tiles.

Carpets have been laid and tiles. Tiles look great! But the carpet.... not so much. Looks alot like dirt! Maybe it's the lighting, or it hasn't been cleaned yet...not sure.  :( The little square sample at the carpet place looked really nice the colour seemed right at the time, which was a very long time ago. Word of warning choose a very very safe colour. Feature wall colour has changed my perspective on colour choice I think... I'll post pics so you guys can see.

The count down begins!

Ten days to go till handover! I can't believe we've come this far! The date has changed to the 8th of Oct. Appointment time is 8:30am! Nice and early. I'm glad we dont have to pack because our things are already in storage. Booked removalists. Buying our feature wall paint and D.I.Y'ing it. Bought some temporary blinds from Ikea til our permanent blinds come. They are awesome @ $4.99 a blind. So if your blinds aren't ready,these are a lifesaver for privacy. They measure at about 90 cm × 190 cm. 

I'm free!!!!

Well fence is down, was a surprise! Took a picture of the pendant lights in the kitchen. I'm pretty happy with them! Looking good! 2 weeks to go! It's count down time! Tiles are next.

Pendants finally came!

We picked up our pendant lighting. Dropped them off to the electrician.  While we were there I had to take happy snaps. Found out the splashback is on. Shower glass in and mirrors.

Got my Camera out, getting Lights installed and there's definitely some Action!

Well the place is looking great. The electricians are installing down lights and switches. While we were the we found that the paint has been completed, door handles and taps installed. Pretty happy with the interior colour.

Post Update and Handover Date!

Last week has been pretty hectic at work and also trying to organize window shutters and flyscreens and security doors and driveways. And sorting my paperwork for the first home owners grant with the bank. We have only just put a deposit with Wynstan for the Plantation shutters for the front of the house and the media room only, and the rest will be timber look alike venetians in white. We also added with them the flyscreens and the front security door and the stacker door security and a lovely panel glide for the stacker door as well. Everything pretty much came all out flat $7000. Ouch! Hopefully it will be worth the money! Driveway came out to be $5260. We enrolled our daughter to her new school which she will start when we move in Oct. WHEN!? you ask.... The date specified for Handover is 7th of Oct! Exciting times! As for the house update..well we only had time to look from the outside. The wall and ceiling painting is done. The front porch is tiled, the downpipes are painted finally! Thought they missed that! haha. Doors had been painted and attached. The electrical work is scheduled for the end of next week. So close! This 3 weeks will hopefully fly really quick. Oh good o'l JB Hifi doing a hot deal on a 65 Inch Ultra Ultra Hd LED tv for CHEAP! Hubby's taken then deal and bought the TV! Media room HERE IT COMES!
