Handover - 17/6/14

So after 17 months since we bought our block of land, being certain that we would build with Clarendon and then Beechwood, and after exactly 16 weeks to the day since the block was cut - we have had handover!

We were extremely pleased with the finish of our home, there was two really minor paint defects and 3 panes of glass that need to be replaced that are scratched, but overall they have met our expectations.

Only a couple of issues to be resolved include;
Still no splashback - apparently will be in on Monday
Gas not connected - Plumber was there later that afternoon to do the final connection

We still need to have appliances and our ducted AC installed, and that will be happening in the next week and a half before we move in.

Now to the fun part of organising our Bamboo, electrical, carpet, blinds and driveway. The day worked out perfect with all of our tradies doing the walk throughs. All of their work will be commencing in the next day or two.

We have also lodged our plans with council to change our retaining wall layout as we want to cut a bit more of the backyard to have less of a steep wall. Hopefully that doesnt take too long to get approved.

Just a couple of shots from the inside, but really didnt bother getting many, even forgot to get one of the front without a fence - no point until it is all finished!

Our Ensuite - yes im sitting on the loo, but only for a good photo angle!

Ensuite shower head and nook. We have one of these nooks in our main bath also

Our kitchen - already messy - and where our splashback should be :(

Our main bathroom - not a great photo.. thanks Apple!
