8 months in the making with the slab down on 22 October 2015 and we finally have Completion Handover on 23 June 2016.
Overall, we are happy with the building and the outcome, and had been a really good experience to go through the building process. Yes, there are some things that we would like to have considered but had we known earlier, we would have made the changes.
Thank you Highbury Homes for making a lovely house for us with minor setbacks.
We are also grateful to our parents and all family and friend who had been sharing and following us on this journey. Thank God for His Blessings and Guidance in this our adventure.
The rear wall is up and finally finished and rendered. Next up is the front landscaping which will be done once the driveway is laid.
We have organised for the rear wall to be built together with our neighbour's, with the approval from our builder. They have laid the footing for the wall and the bricks were also delivered. They will be starting to build up the 1.8m rear wall next week.
As we are closing into handover, we have started preparing for the tasks and works that we will be doing at the new house.
Karen's expertise is now in play with the choosing of the interior wall colours.
Simon has started working on the wine cellar rack and completed it after a few weekends and working overtime in the cold garage at night.
We have also started packing up our things which we do not need now in preparation for the move at the end of July. We are getting busier with the preparations but at the meantime are also excited to be moving out to our new home soon.
Our neighbour have arranged for the pinelap side fence to be installed. The rear wall will be installed next week by developer LWP.
We had our Practical Completion Inspection with Tim on Wednesday and outlined about 12 minor items to be fixed or rectified. They will get these done within next 10 working days after which we will have final inspection to handover.
