We are In!!!

Okay I admit it - I've been very slack but that is just because we are in and now there is so much to do!!!

So Update from Last Blog Post ....

17.05.13 - Our gorgeous Orange splashback was installed - I love it so much it is such a feature
Our mirrors and shower screens were also installed.

21.05.13 - Our Floor Tiles were done  - they also look super good too... we are super happy with the floor tiles they go right through the main living area and out to the Alfresco and front porch.

11.06.13 - We attended PCI today and didn't really find too much, a few touch ups here and there.  We needed to get the bottom panel of our garage door replaced (but by the time I have gotten around to writing this blog it has already been fixed by B & D)

12.06.13 - Our private inspector came and inspected the home, he found a few more things around (again nothing major and it was all fixed before handover which we were really happy about)

21.06.13 - We got our Keys - YAY YAY YAY... we ate our first meal on the kitchen island benchtop (Red Rooster haha).

28.06.13 - We had our carpet installed after handover.

29.06.13 - We moved in - It was pouring with rain so only really got to move in our bedroom stuff this weekend

6 and 7 July 2013 - we have finally moved the rest of our items in but have not yet unpacked everything.

We have ordered a lounge but it hasn't come in yet'

Our drive way is getting done next week hopefully and then we can get stuck into doing the grass and retaining walls/letterbox and clothesline.

Here are some photos.... There will be more to come over time.

The Beautiful Hamper from McDonald Jones

Love my Splashback

Yay our keys


The Front with our Up and Down Pillar lights (eventually we will hopefully get stacked stones on the pillars)



Main Bedroom pre-carpet








We are really happy with the house and the work done by Mcdonald Jones.  Our Client Liaison Officer Suzz was fantastic as was our Site Superviser Dave.  They both kept us up to date and informed about what was going on and we cannot thank them enough!! It has been such a smooth build, even with the problems we had at the start with our block of land.

Now we just have to get stuck into the landscaping and unpacking and I will hopefully have some more photos to show you soon.
