There are a myriad of tradesman booked for the next few days and I think our flooring will be one of the last things, booked for next Friday the 9th May.
I feel like this is the calm before a tidal wave of things that I need to be organizing and booking. I need to get a quote on a retaining wall so we can then mount our fences on top. I also need to sort out council application for our driveway ($250 apparently!). Harvey Norman are on standby with our fridge, Carpet Craft have ordered our carpet and the plantation shutters have arrived ready for installation.
Building a house has been like a master class in organization.
Rumour has it our tilers are coming back tomorrow, so I hope I will have stacked stone photos soon.
Happy days :)
congrats Mel & Tom! that is so close, hopefully you'll have keys in your hand the following week :D make sure someone from your bank gets out to value your house straight after PCI so there are no dramas releasing the cheque for final payment - that was the final nerve wracking step that decided when we got keys
ReplyDeleteThanks Merryn! It's all slowly starting to sink in that it will only be a few weeks. I've organized our bank valuation for the day after PCI - hopefully it all runs to schedule! I don't think I'll sleep for the next two weeks haha :)

ReplyDeleteThanks so much Ann, I can't wait to get into the house! Gosh we have a lot to do, not to mention the dreaded packing. Hopefully this will be the last move for a long time :) I hope everything at your place is coming along well - not bad weather for landscaping, at least we are getting some rain for new plants and grass.
