A final look before Christmas Shutdown!

I met up with Luke, our Site Supervisor, on Thursday to have one final look through the house and to discuss some "defects" that I have identified over the last couple of weeks - all only minor and easily fixed :)

As luck would have it, there had been a flurry of activity on the morning before I met with Luke, resulting in our wardrobe shelving and doors, bathroom shower screen & mirror, powder room mirror and glass splash back in the kitchen being installed. Overall very happy with how it has all come together - who would've thought that wardrobe doors being installed would make a room look so much more complete too? :) I have put up some photos below.

Luke also gave me the "home stretch" run down for when they get back in the New Year -

Week 1 (week beginning 13 January)

  • Roof insulation
  • Exterior painting finished
  • Staining of doors & cladding completed
  • A/C fit off
  • Final fit off (door handles, towel rails, toilet paper holders etc)
  • Shower screen and mirror in Ensuite
  • Vanities and tap ware in Bathroom & Powder Room
  • Final electricals (outside lights & power points, power points to kitchen & laundry)
  • First house clean
Week 2 (week beginning 20 January)
  • Rectification of plastering defects
  • Final paint
  • Second house clean
  • HANDOVER - FRIDAY 24 JANUARY 2014
As a final note on the feature tiles in the Ensuite, we are sticking with what has already been laid - the main reason for this is that Plantation threw back a signed document from us that stated "colour variations when selecting natural products". Although I still dispute that the colour variation experienced is outside "reasonable tolerance", disputing the tiles further would only delay our handover even more than it already has been.

Enjoy the final lot of photos below - next photos posted will be when we have had handover and our flooring and appliances are in :)
