Keys Friday
WE GOT A CALL TODAY TO ARRANGE FOR KEY HANDOVER. SO FRIDAY MORNING, WE PICK UP OUR KEYS!!!!!!!!!!
Flooring has begun!!
The flooring guys did a lot of work in one day and did not finish until 5:30pm. The patio guys have also started the guttering and sheeting today. It looks like he was there by himself so could not put the final poles in.
The sparkies have fixed the lights. Bec spoke to SS and Jason windows will be out on Friday to fix the window. The painter has been asked to come back tomorrow morning to fix a door which we missed during the PCI. So here are the photos for today...

Flooring Started
Exciting news!!!! The flooring has started. They came and did the moisture barrier yesterday and have come back to start the laying today! Yayyyyy They did a good job of the moisture barrier except some wall have scratches where the roller was hitting the wall too hard. They have not done the linen cupboard but that's because they did not want to open another tin specifically as they still need to do the home theatre. The blue moisture barrier makes the kitchen stand out now that it is not against the grey concrete look. So the estimate is 5 days for laying, one day to sit, then 4 days to sand and seal so it will be done by 24th.
The punchlist items are getting ticked off quick smart by our SS. The telstra cable is now installed and the paving reinstated. You can't really even tell that they pulled the paving up to get the conduit down! The rear roller door is also now complete. It springs up a bit when fully down but I think this is because they have set the tension higher due to the bigger door. It is very light to pull up but this can be adjusted once we move in. The sparkies were back this morning to adjust the light circuit in the study and bed 1. They needed more cable so not sure what the problem is and how they will fix.
The bank has now paid the builder. It was too much so our lovely CC emailed to say that the bank paid over the final statement amount and that she will put the overpaid amount into our account. What service!!
Also the patio is well underway. The rear frame was started yesterday so the entire frame should be done by the end of this week.
It has not rained in Perth for over 80 days but today (when the flooring is starting) it decides to spit and be humind! Just not what we want for timber laying.... Fingers crossed it does not rain for another couple of weeks.

PCI Inspection Closeout
OK so I know I have not updated since PCI last Thursday but it has been busy (the most important being a new iphone!!!) The sparkie came and replaced the power points in the garage right after PCI. Hmmm we never got a copy of the PCI list from the construction manager. Anyway we had the timber flooring delivered on Friday and the remainder of the patio delivered on the Thursday afternoon.
The patio company came and started the patio on Friday and got part of the main section up and 3 poles installed. He was doing it mostly by himself so it will take a while (about 7 days he said so maybe by the end of next week it will be done.
The flooring was also delivered by one person. It was not even a big truck with a HIAB but a young block with a ute!! He had to cut the packs open and bring the timbers into the house individually! It was four loads and the later loads were the ute and a trailer. As the trailer was a tandem axel trailer, it left tyre marks when he reversed in the driveway but that will come out.
The roof tiles came back today to finish off the roof. They replaced cracked, chipped tiles and painted the edges of the tiles in the valleys and other minor chipped areas. The roof really looks good now.
I called the bank today to see when our payment to the builder would go through and found that they were helpful but it was like pushing a wheelbarrow up a hill.
Now we are justing waiting for the bank to pay and get the keys.
