Finally moved in

It has been a long journey, we finally got our keys in the middle of March. A few weeks of driveway concrete pouring, timber floor installation and carpet installation we started to move in. We had to complete our landscape before we could get our final occupational certificate and finally officially moved in on the 14th April 2011.

There is still a few minor things to do like tiling the alfresco area and also light fittings.

 Love our plantation shutters and timber floors. It was so much cheaper to get the flooring done with our own companies instead of going with the builders


 Tilers are starting next week on the back alfresco.
