Well we rushed around and sorted out the mortgage so we are ready for settlement> Was going to happen Monday but now Thursday.
Top soil was delivered and spread out on Saturday.
The paint touch ups and other fixes should be done tomorrow/Tuesday. Final inspection on Thursday hopefully and a handover of the keys!
We noticed a cracked tile on the front porch yesterday and also one of the pipes connecting the rain water tank has been a massive hole in it (think the landscaper has done it), so I guess that will be something to get fixed once we are moved in as I doubt it would be fixed before Thursday.
Our current house is filled with boxes as we packed the remaining things today with enough to get us through the week.
Also busy organising fence quotes. Good news is the vacant block next to us said to send through the quote we go with and they will organise their 50% (this is Eden Brae). House behind is rented so need to chase up the owners. Hopefully there are no delays with them.
Hoping to start the moving process on Saturday and get everything moved over to our new home :)
5 more days!

The lockout
We are officially locked out... Garage door is on and the front and laundry doors are on, locking us out of our house. So now we have to peer through the windows :)
The internal doors have started to be put up and the electricals are being cut out.
Gyprock is finished, cornices finished and skirting boards are all done too.
Next week should see the kitchen started. Then I guess the bathrooms and tiling will start?!

The electricals
Bit of an update since the roof started. We finally saw some nice weather and the roof was finished rather quickly. Looks great. Site has been cleaned up too.
The 2nd column out the front was finally finished off just in time for the brick cleaning to start. The brick cleaning started last week, just the sides of the house to be finished now.
The electricals/telephone line have been roughed in.
Just waiting for the brick cleaning to finish and the outside will almost be done. Everything for the eaves is on site but with this weather it isn't helping. Hopefully they can get to that this week to get us to lock up?
Also spoke to the builders who are building the house behind us and they are doing colorbond fencing so that was good news.

The roof
The roof has finally started! After all this beautiful weather during the week I think they worked on the house for about 2 days! 1 day putting up the rest of the steel supports in the roof and another putting half of the roof on. Still waiting on the bricklayers to come back to finish out the front...
All starting to take shape. Be good once the roof is done so we don't rely on the weather.

The gutters and fascia
Bricks are 99% done. They still have to do one of the pillars at the front. Thought it would have been done today, looks like next week now.
The gutters and fascia were done today. The outside is really starting to take shape now. Roof is due to be done next week and is on site ready to go. Sarking is there too. Wonder if the roofers work Saturdays?
