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.

An update...it is getting closer now

Drove by today to check on the igloo, the last of the scaffold was removed today. The plaster guy was back sanding the kitchen ceiling and patching some holes.
The top floor has been sanded and the tilers was backing putting some tiles on the laundry area.
I notice a leak at the bottom toilet, site supervisor is sending the plumbers to have a look.
