<br />
We got one set of keys, to the sliding doors as for some reason the stand-in SS still had them with him. This is no big deal as we were still able to get into the house, and he's meeting us there first thing tomorrow to give them to us.<br />
<br />
We are expecting the cabinet maker to be in tomorrow to replace the shelf in the island bench after the water leak that we had. A little annoying, but they assure us it will be done tomorrow.<br />
<br />
Scott and I picked up a sample pot for our bedroom, but you'll have to wait until we paint to see what we're going to do. Let's just say, it's a far cry from our old "white house".<br />
<br />
We also borrowed the carpet samples again from Carpet Court, and needless to say, Geminis being Geminis, we've changed our mind yet again about the colour of the carpet. It's darker than we initially thought we'd go, but matches much better.<br />
<br />
The concrete polishers will begin on Wednesday, which I'm told will take a good week to complete. As long as they do a great job, we don't mind!!<br />
<br />
After that, it's time for carpet laying and then the big move!<br />
<br />
Pictures later, as honestly, it looks no different to what it did 6 weeks ago.Poochiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02564858428818622459noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1839450463160057881.post-45757666629325352572012-05-19T21:46:00.000-07:002012-05-19T21:46:07.190-07:00Week 24, Day 165 - FinallyWell, after three so-called confirmed handover dates that have been and gone, our handover day is tomorrow!<br />
<br />
Today being Sunday, we didn't expect to see anything happening at the house, but our SS and the painter have been there since quite early this morning. No doubt doing the touch-ups that were missed previously.<br />
<br />
It's taken such a long time to get here, and time really has dragged out incredibly over the last couple of months, with tiny jobs taking forever to complete.<br />
<br />
Looks like a busy week ahead for us, with the concrete polishers booked in for Wednesday, followed by the carpet layer.<br />
<br />
Now the fun starts with choosing light fittings, curtains and blinds and all the fun bits in between!<br />

<br />
Basically, without sounding too precious, this comes from having had an old house that we thoroughly renovated ourselves, wasn't square, and was pretty much a compromise in terms of features and finishes due to the floorplan of the house. That said, I still love our little house, and drive past it often to sneak a peek at where we used to live.<br />
<br />
This house is our first ever build, and we hope it to be the house we are in for the long haul. Hence, we want things to be right!<br />
<br />
We had an independant inspection done last week, which was worth every cent, if only for the reassurance and peace of mind. He was there for almost 4 hours in total and talked me through every item that he had noted.<br />
<br />
Our list of defects are in particular related to the paint job, where there are either drips, or where the walls have not been filled, therefore marks are showing through. We had the "that's because you went with the two-coat system" spiel, but if there are tiny holes from pockets of air in the plastering, well, that's not a paint issue in my opinion.<br />
<br />
One other issue is with the grouting, particularly on the floor in the bathroom. I think I could have done a better job! It's mostly where it hasn't been wiped enough while it was still wet, and has therefore left patches of left over grout smeared on some of the tiles. This is something that I know will bug us, hence it needs to be fixed up.<br />
<br />
The biggest issue we have is with the window in the master bedroom, which has been an issue from the moment it was installed. To cut a long story short, I was called by the SS today with news that we will be getting a new window. This is fantastic news as we really can't see how they could fix the one that's already there!<br />
<br />
So, as it stands this week, the new window will be delivered Monday 30th. In the meantime, the list of defects will be attended to this week, with handover expected towards the end of next week.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">PCI will now be held on Monday 16th of April, with handover set for Monday 23rd.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We've indicated to PD that we will be having an independant building inspector go through the house, and that we would like him to come with us to the PCI. They have said that it is not possible as it will take too long to complete and that he will need to arrange a time with our SS to go through prior to us having our PCI. Not exactly what we wanted to hear as it was more of a second opinion for us, especially when there are a couple of items we are concerned about that our SS doesn't seem to be. We don't exactly want the wool pulled over our eyes so to speak :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The garage door has still not been installed, nor has the slab been extended for the garage. This is something that our SS told us about a couple of months ago, as it is around 100mm too short which will mean that when the garage door is closed, it won't meet the floor level. Hmmm, can't see that happening before Monday!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The cleaners were in when we popped over for a peek, funny to think they are cleaning and yet there feels like there is so much work to go still. They said that they will be back again at handover to do a final clean.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Scott and I need to get a move on with choosing carpet and the finish of the concrete! This weeks plan is to have a "concrete" idea of what we want, pardon the pun. We've had quotes for Hyperfloor which is a really lovely polished concrete finish, costs an arm and a leg, however, two of the four companies we've contacted have told us not to go there as it's not possible to get an even polish when the house is already complete. They have suggested a simple grind and seal, which I really don't like the look of. The Hyperfloor finish gives a look not unlike marble and it feels super smooth. Time to have more of a chat with the ones that have said they would be happy to do it for us. The theory is that it's so much more work to do the Hyperfloor finish, where as the grind and seal is done in one to two days and is literally, a quick grind and a coat or two of varnish (from the mouths of the grinders themselves). Perhaps there is more profit in the grind and seal??</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
Our first home was referred to as "The White House", and also as the "Cup of Tea House". Here are some photos of what it looked like just before we sold it.<br />
<br />
We were very sad to say goodbye to our beautiful little house and our equally beautiful neighbours, but the time had come for us to move on. It was just becoming far too small for us with the kids and with me working from home.<br />
<br />
Hence the new house with a separate rumpus and activity room for the kids, and a designated studio for shooting and consultation room.<br />
<br />
Although our new home is polar opposites in design, I'm sure that we will still be able to create the feel of our little cottage and inject that little bit of french provincial style into our new modern house.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It was affectionately called the "Spider House" which was a name given by Scarlett. We actually think she was telling us that "we buyed that house", but we all seemed to adopt the "Spider House" name.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It was still being lived in when it went to auction. The owners, who originally had the same idea as us, decided that they wanted to build their new home closer to their family.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Scott and I jumped at the chance as we'd been looking for a nice piece of land for a long time, with it getting harder and harder to find something that wasn't in the clutches of the greedy developers. Contrary to popular belief, we didn't buy this property to live near my parents, it just so happened that this came up at the right time for us. For those who are unaware, they are on the main road, which is also two houses away from ours!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Our land is just over 1000 square metres, and has an existing 4 car garage which Scott will use as his man-cave/toy-box.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Also nestled in a quiet corner of the block is a little cottage with an ensuite. We debated about selling it, as it was in great condition, but then the house start date came a little too quick, so we decided to keep it. It will either be used for when we have visitors coming to stay (unless they are staying in the house with us!) or as a framing studio (most likely the latter if I can get my Dad on board as my framer).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

They are still waiting on a delivery of extra wall tiles so it can be completed.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>The main things that we've noticed this week are the installation of the shelves and rails in the wardrobes and the pantry.</div><div><br />
</div><div>We had the "final clean" done yesterday, which is funny really because handover isn't due for another 3 or so weeks and there's still a fair bit to do, which will no doubt amount to more rubbish to clear.</div><div><br />
</div><div>While the guy was there with his bobcat, we asked him if he would do a little extra for us, which he did. It's amazing what a difference cutting away some dirt can make! We now have full access down the side of the house to Scott's garage/toy box, and also into the back yard. He's cut the land so it's ready for the retaining walls that will form our outdoor area at the side and back of the house. It looks fantastic, and is now something that we can visualise, and the best bit is that we have a yard again, instead of the run off from the site fill. Guess what Scott will be doing on his holidays :D</div><div><br />
</div><div>Sorry for the repetitive photos in all of my posts, it's really only a few little things here and there that are being done.</div><div><br />

A SETTLEMENT DATE!!!!<br />
<br />
We have a PCI (Practical Completion Inspection) scheduled for April 12th, and all going well, handover will be on April 19th. A whole 5 weeks earlier than first expected! It goes to show that having the trades work over the Christmas break and through January made the difference after all (this was initially thought to add 4 weeks to the build time, giving us an original handover of end of May).<br />
<br />
Well, now that that's out of the way, there are still quite a few things that need to be done prior to handover....<br />
<br />
The tiler won't be finished until next week now, as there weren't enough tiles ordered. Fingers crossed the batches are the same so that the whites match - my pet hate :)<br />
<br />
The plumber was in today, fitting off the toilets, hand basins, sinks, shower roses and taps, along with the laundry trough. I was dying to get in to see the undermount sink in the infamous island bench, but no luck. The Teknobili kitchen tap is not in yet though.<br />
<br />
The plumber was also digging away either to recover the silt pits that are miles too low for the finished ground level, or to put in some more drains as what is there currently, doesn't seem to be working quite as well as it should.<br />
<br />
As we were leaving, the guy that did the frame of the house arrived. It seems that some studs were missed out in the garage where the roller door will go. This was something that we discussed with our first CSR as a panel lift door that was part of the simplicity promotion was going to take up a great deal of ceiling space and given it's going to be my studio, this wasn't going to work. Obviously, as with a number of other items, this information wasn't passed on and has only come up now. At least things are getting done about it though.<br />
<br />
The main thing that is still an issue for us is the window in the main bedroom that sags in the middle. We've raised the issue with our SS, but he said this will be looked at at the PCI. He has measured it and it's sagging in the middle by around 10mm. Not good enough! We're interested to see how they think it can be fixed, because the aluminium frame of the window is bowed. Looks like a new window to us.<br />
<br />
Here are a few of today's new findings....<br />

He was really lovely, and offered some advice on how the way it's laid can change the look of a room. Most importantly, he was on the same wave length as Scott and I with not having off-centred tiles - we seem to see quite a bit in houses we visit. We made a visit to National Tiles on the weekend, and managed to grab a couple of boxes of our floor and wall tiles as a just-in-case, which also just happened to be on sale! Nice one :) Still makes me sick though when I think of the 'upgrade' charge that is passed on to us PD customers. Our tiles were a $90mt2 upgrade, which is about three times the cost of the tiles at full price!!!</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

<br />
Andrew is very much on the ball and had already acted on some issues that we were going to tell him about, which is reassuring! Everyone I know who has built recently says that if you have a good SS, then things will run smoothly. I must say, we've been very lucky!<br />
<br />
The painter is booked for the coming week, and should be all done within the week. The tiler is booked for the week after that. I asked the inevitable question of handover, and he said that the house should be completed around 4 weeks after the tiler has been. That means that they are ahead of time, and would have been even more ahead, had there not been a few issues that had to be corrected.<br />
<br />
The renderers returned on Friday to finish the exterior. Although the colour is not a great deal different to the base layer, it has certainly finished off the look of the house. We love it! It's still very pale and fresh, and isn't too modern, which is what we were trying to avoid :) Still a far-cry from our old cottage home, but still very "us" we think.<br />
<br />
Here are some shots of the house now the render has been finished. The colour again, is Pipe Clay. The decorative caps around the windows at the front will be painted the same colour as the windows which is Surfmist.<br />

<br />
The decorative capping has been installed around the windows to the front of the house, we can't recall what colour we chose for them, so we're guessing that they will be the same as the windows which is Surfmist.<br />

Now this really does make it feel like things are taking shape!<br />
<br />
Seeing it in the flesh gives a much better idea of the size of the kitchen, and it looks like we're not going to be short on cupboard space! One thing I am totally wrapped to be having is the island bench. It was well worth the extra costs as it is going to provide such an enormous amount of bench space (ask anyone in the family who has seen me cook why this is important!!). Instead of the standard one, we opted for a very large rectangular style with two huge rear cupboards, backing on to the "working" side which houses the dishwasher, cutlery drawer and sink-cupboard. We will also be able to use it as a place to sit with a coffee, as the bench top has quite an overhang.<br />
<br />
To re-cap what we have chosen for the kitchen, we've gone for a Crystal Gloss finish in Polar White (bright white), with square edged chrome handles. The bench tops will be Caesar Stone in Ice Snow.<br />
<br />
The ensuite, bathroom, laundry and powder room are a Natural Laminex finish in Polar White. Bench tops for ensuite and bathroom will be Caesar Stone in Ice Snow. Benchtops in laundry and powder room will be Natural Laminex in Polar White.<br />

A little bit if panic set in (only with me, although I knew as with any surface, it dries a different colour), which quickly disappeared after it began to dry over the day. It appears quite close to the natural colour of the hebel, which is good as we really liked the look of it against the colour of the roof.<br />
<br />
The render colour we chose was Dulux - Pipe Clay, which looks quite grey here, but is a cool, creamy-beige.<br />
<br />
The end of last week saw the plastering finished, with all of the cornices installed and paint prep completed. I won't bore you with dozens of photos, just a few with the cornices installed.<br />
<br />
Scott spoke with the SS today, who has mentioned that the kitchen will most likely be installed on Monday, and the painting will be done next week! This is just a LITTLE bit exciting! Woo hoo, we're on the down hill now - I think :)<br />

<div><br />
</div><div>The plasterers arrived mid morning on Monday to begin work. We snuck a look just after 1pm, thinking that there may be one or two rooms plastered, only to find every room in the house with plaster sheets at least half way up the walls. We returned later that evening to find that they had installed all walls and ceiling plaster throughout the whole house! I guess it brings some truth to the saying 'many hands make light work' given there was a bus load of people working today!!!<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>Once again, it's changed the feel of the house, with some rooms appearing quite a bit smaller, while the main living areas and garage/studio feel really big! No doubt it will all feel different again once the walls and ceiling have been painted and things "open-up" once again.</div><div><br />
</div><div>These photos are all over the place, as I don't know how to rearrange them!!! <br />

The guys sealed the gaps and tidied them up a bit, so I wonder if this means it will be rendered soon or if it's one of the last things that will be done. We're trying to determine if the colour of the hebel is very similar to the actual render colour that we've chosen, which is Dulux "Pipe Clay". It looks like it to us when we compare it to the render sample at Houpeton Interiors, but doesn't look like the colour chip we have.<br />

</tbody></table>The external doors have also been installed, along with their locks. It's so nice to have doors that close smoothly!! We've been chatting a bit with the lock-up carpenter, who is a lovely man. He's been so particular with getting everything straight and has given us a few pointers for the polishing of the floors, such as making sure the fixing carpenter (if he doesn't come back) doesn't trim the bottom of the doors, archs and skirting boards and leave the standard 5mm gap. This is what's generally done to allow for floor coverings, but given we aren't adding any to the living areas, we don't want a gap between the skirting and the floor.<br />
<br />
The bathhob, internal cavity sliders, heater, along with electrical wiring has also been installed, and the insulation has been put in place around the external walls of the house. Scott also added some of the wrap and batts to the garage as it will be used as a studio instead of a garage. I think my nagging got the better of him, so it was quickly put up by him and my dad one night. We did get our SS's permission to do so!!!<br />

<br />
It's amazing how different a colour can look when it's viewed as a whole piece rather than a tiny colour-chip. I think it looks a lot lighter than the samples - this is not such a bad thing :) but it seems to look different as the light changes. We are so pleased that we've gone with the tin roof, a nice clean look and hopefully one that will keep the possums out!<br />
<br />
The sliding doors in the rumpus room and dining room were also installed this week, so we've been testing out the "breeze-factor" having them wide open after all this hot weather we've been having.<br />
<br />
We were a little surprised to see that the plumber had been this week to run the pipes throughout the house, and that the plaster and cornices had been delivered along with the external doors.<br />
<br />
We met the guy who will be installing the hebel panels on Friday afternoon. He said they are due to start towards the end of next week, and going well, it should only take around 4 days to complete. <br />
<br />
I guess it won't be too long until it's at lock-up stage!<br />

It has made such a difference to the side of the house as it looked an enormous amount of work was needed to be done in order to retain the driveway access to the rear garage at the rear of the house. Still stacks of work to do with the block after the house is finished, but that's the way it is with building!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The doors and windows also arrived yesterday, and we are happy to say that choosing 'surfmist' instead of bright white was a good thing. It's still very white, but not stark!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Today, the house was wrapped with sisilation/enviroshield, and all going to plan, the scaffolding will arrive tomorrow so the gutters and rood can be started.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
Thursday morning saw a crane arrive with the roof trusses, and suddenly, by the end of the day, the whole thing was complete!<br />
<br />
It was great wandering around the house visualising where things are.<br />

Loads of work has been done today, but there's still quite a bit to go with the frame. Very excited family are we, at the moment!<br />

<br />
A whopping big bill for the base stage!<br />
<br />
We knew it was coming, but hey, I thought perhaps Christmas may have brought a little delay :)Poochiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02564858428818622459noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1839450463160057881.post-61233783715154374032011-12-19T00:39:00.001-08:002012-02-21T00:48:51.959-08:00Week 2, Day 14 - Slab PourWe were very excited to hear the guys over at the block today, especially when the concrete pumping truck arrived! They worked all day, with truck after truck arriving at the site.<br />
<br />
Thankfully, the rain held off throughout the pouring and burnishing, which was a bit of a concern for us at this stage in the construction because we have decided to go with a polished concrete flooring (unless we chicken out!). We've been told that rain during the pouring, along with hot sun whilst curing can impact on the finish that we get at the end. It's better if it dries slowly rather than quickly.<br />
<br />
This will be the last we see of the builders, due to the Christmas and New Year break, with framing due to commence on January 9th.<br />
