Handover: T Minus 16hrs And Counting!! (And Updated Piccies!)

Yes, I know I've been very slack with my updating, but it's a bit hard when you cant get into the house!! Which is a good thing for us I guess, cuz if we cant, then no one else can!

SO! Here's the low-down.. Handover was supposed to have happened on FRIDAY the 22nd of May in the morning, but due to the repairs on our house not being complete by THURSDAY afternoon, it has been pushed to TUESDAY 26th of May in the morning... ie: TOMORROW AT 8:30AM!! Hopefully there havent been anymore mistakes or dilly-dallying and we can finally get the keys and show some of you guys through!!

Anyway, although pictures dont do it justice, here are some updated ones...


Kitchen with sink, benchtop, splashback and rangehood installed.


Looking from the kitchen to the living area. You can see the doorway to the other bedrooms, bathroom, WC and laundry immediately to the left, and the rumpus entry on the facing wall.

Looking into the kitchen.. yes the door has been fixed! :)


Ensuite shower all tiled and grouted and glass installed.

Bathroom shower with our feature niche.

Continued feature pebbles on bathroom floor.. just to break up the grey.

There are still heaps of things we will need to do after handover:

  • sealing all wet area tiles
  • frosting the bathroom, ensuite and toilet windows
  • feature walls
  • blinds/curtains
  • lighting
  • flooring
  • driveway
  • front garden
  • backyard (alfresco area and plants)
  • washing line
  • dining setting

I'm sure there's more, and some of the ones I've listed can wait a little longer, but most of them need to be done before we can even think about moving in!!

Handover: T Minus 2 Days!!

Yes everyone! We finally get our keys on Friday! Woo hoo!! *does happy dance* It's been a long and painstaking process, but it's all worth it in the end.. we have a house which we will make into our home. We will be doing our final walk through the house on Friday morning, and then go to head office to sign the papers, hand over the final payment and take control of the keys!

OMG!!!
