The final clean has been booked in for April 10th. Things completed over the last week include HW system installed, door furniture, appliances, light fittings and the water tank has been connected.
Halogen wall light in the hall - these will be converted to LED after handover

kitchen almost complete

main bathroom shower screen installed
We have also contacted a private building inspector who will do a report for us on the build prior to handover. Considering little things we missed last time, we thought it was a good idea.
We have had final quotes for the excavator to come in and shape the block after final inspection. Total price $8000 which includes a few hundred tonnes of fill being carted and a 50m gravel driveway installed and rolled.
Pool colour has been chosen and ordered. Carpet and bamboo flooring has been ordered and a date has been pencilled in.
We have mesured the windows for blinds. We will probably go with blockout roller blinds from www.blindsonthenet.com.au  We have used these people before and were very pleased with the product and followup service.
I have had the electrician in for his thoughts on connecting my shed and pool to the house and any last minute details about the light fittings that need to be installed in the house after handover.
I think it's coming together now....

    1. Thanks Jen, I have been led to believe now that once around the slab is filled around and some spread around the backyard, there may not be much left. Mark (Watson Earthmoving) has the people on Federation (on the sweeping bend) lined up, but if that doesnt pan out I will mention Sir Henry Parkes.
