Well can’t believe it. I got my wish. A pool, grass and a final occupation certificate. All completed and time to sit back and start relaxing with that glass of wine on the alfresco. Some fun titivating to do. The driveway and side access still need to be done, but currently to a point that we can cope with. Such a satisfying feeling!

Well a week of rain and we have a muddy swimming pool due to a storm water pipe bring broken by the pool builder. Ah well, we can’t wait for it to be completed. The pumps are going to try and dry the hole so they can start the formwork this week. Our shutters are due to be installed this weekend so we will have proper window coverings. The telco keeps coming out and each and everytime they say ‘oh, we have to dig the road up to put some conduit so we can feed the Internet and Foxtel cables through!’ We still haven’t got a phone line. The left hand doesn’t know what the right is doing and it is very frustrating when you have a child trying to do Yr 10 exams and assignments. We are also busy getting quotes for the fencing, the driveway and completion of the retaining walls as part of council conditions. We have had a couple arrive, some don’t want the work and others are very expensive. I think we focus on the priorities first.

I will attach the Houspect NSW report shortly. It has been invaluable to have an independent inspector do 4 reports for us at a cost of only $1495. Worth every penny.

It’s looks great. The floor boards are in and the carpets go in in Monday. The flooring makes the room look huge!
