Our colours are locked in!

On Monday, we had our super-long appointment with Plantation:

• 9am to 12 noon was our Contract Appointment and;
• 1pm to 4pm was our Colour selection session at Cosham Studios

Although we finished both appointments about 1 hour early (it helped being super-organised!!), it still  proved to be quite a "full on" day. We have, however, come out the other end confident with our colour selections - a sample of which are below.

As for the next steps, all our documents have now been handed to the Bank who are in the process of completing their valuation, of which we will know the result around Tuesday next week - it's going to be an anxious weekend!!

We have also now booked in for our Electrical Appointment. Plantation "outsource" their electrical planning and consulting to a company called Your Home Consulting. So next Wednesday we will attend their office at Slacks Creek to go over (and more than likely, add to) our Electrical Plan. Though in saying that, the standard allowance from Plantation is pretty inclusive (2 double power points to each bedroom; 3 to Master; 2 to most other rooms and 5 useable points in the kitchen + ones for all the applicances etc) so I highly doubt we are going to utilise our $3,000 allowance (which is good as we spent a bit on upgrades at our Colour Appointment!!).

The main things we want to do with the electrics is add a couple of power points, add an extra light to the Living & Alfresco areas, add some external lights to the front and side of the house (on the brickwork) and some network cabling for our fibre internet connection. Other things like exhaust fans to bathrooms and light fittings we will have installed after handover to save some costs initially.
