Neighbours

We finally met some of our neighbours today. It's amazing that we've not crossed paths until now. They seem quite nice and they've met some of the other neighbours too.




Can't wait until Tuesday when we finally get the keys!

New hand over date

Wahoo! Handover will now be on Tuesday - only because they've run out of their gift packs so they'll post it out to us later - bahahaha.

We have a date!

Handover will be next Wednesday! Wahoo! We've found that Western Distributors DO have the vinyl in stock so we will order it from them and they'll start installing the carpet and vinyl on Friday the 14th and finish on the following Monday. Can't wait!

Soooo excited!

At the moment we are busy getting quotes for the driveway, shed and window coverings.

Front Yard Dreaming



Some pictures from my pinterest garden board - ideas for our front garden...

I love how this path cuts through the garden.
In a few years this garden will be stunning
when that tree gets much bigger! (source)

Almost finished

Our splashback is in - Wahoo!

Looks like all that needs to be done is the spa put in and the paint and plaster touch ups need to be done. Then we are all ready. PCI on Tuesday!

Splash back is in - love it!

more holes to patch up - silly duffer electricians being too rough when putting things in






One problem that we have noticed is that our wind out windows are not quite right...

The window is about 1/2cm wider across the middle than the top and the bottom. They still open and shut ok, but it can't be right for them to be out this much! In the photos you can see that the gap around the awning part of the window is much tighter across the centre than it is at the top and the bottom of the awning.

So we've sent a message to our site supervisor and hopefully they'll be able to replace the windows - thankfully the frames are ok, its just the windows. There must have been some sort of glitch when they were being manufactured.
