It has been a while since the last post and as you can imagine we have been very busy packing, cleaning the old rental, cleaning the new house and slowly unpacking to make it feel more like a home.
PCI went well with a handful of things coming up as needing to be fixed like the aircon and some brick work but nothing major and most of the tradies have now been and done the repairs. We had a last minute scramble to do the handover of keys as we were waiting on Plantation to get the final certifications before the bank would release the money but we got there in the end.
We had the carpets cleaned to get rid of all the yucky building dust and they came up a treat, the guy even managed to get some of the paint out that had been dripped on after the carpet had been installed.
Here are some pictures of the house from the day we moved in:

We ended up sleeping downstairs the first couple of nights to allow the carpets to dry but have now moved upstairs and have almost set up the master suite, we had to go to Ikea to pick up some clothes hanging racks for the wardrobes in the master suite to help fill the temporary need for storage whilst we get the permanent solution sorted. We also have a fashionable black plastic sheet over the window to help us sleep but we are likely to get some blockout blinds in the new year.
The Telstra line has been installed but we haven't hooked up our internet yet but that should be soon.
More posts will be coming later on so keep an eye out.
Your house looks amazing from the Inside and Out. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteWe are in early stages of acquiring land and building with Plantation at Brentwood Rise. I must admit your blog is going to come in very handy for information.
Kind Regards,
