We have a handover date!

We were thrilled to find out yesterday that our Practical Completion Inspection is booked for Friday 10th Oct with our hand over date to be the Friday after. Obviously this relies on everything getting fixed in one week so it is certainly not set in stone. At least they know we are having Kevin do the inspection so are less likely to pass things off as ok when they are not. We are not going to give notice on our rental until we have had the inspection so if any of the items are major we will not have to accept handover because we have nowhere to live.

The house has been cleaned internally so we can get a nicer view of the kitchen. I am not sure if the house gets cleaned again but it is nowhere near clean! The spa still looks like it did in my last post.
The bobcat has also been to visit the outside of the house and the rubbish cage has gone. It looks so much nicer. David and I spent a back breaking couple of hours last weekend clearing up all the dried concrete, broken bricks and builders rubbish from around the back and sides of the house and put it into a big pile in the front. We are glad this has been taken away, we are also glad we made the effort because a lot of it was sort of buried and we think they would just have tried to cover it up.
This is the alfresco area, they have bought dirt in to cover up the slab a bit.

There is really not much left to do inside just shower screens, mirrors and some tapware that I can think of. All that is booked for next week. The holes in the tiles have been fixed.

All our door handles are on although the wrong ones have been installed on the front and laundry doors. I even told the guy they were wrong but he put them on anyway. There is no doubt they will have to change them because the PCV is very clear.
