Building a better home: No carpets!

Another peek into the house and our SS said we would have carpets but we dont. So I don't know if he was getting us mixed up with someone else but we don't have carpets. They have put on all the door furniture - lever style looks great. We forgot to upgrade the garage door handle so it looks odd. We will buy another one from bunnings and replace it ourselves to make them all consistent. We also have had the mirrors installed and the shower screens. Our SS said we might have our PCI late next week but I cant see that happening with all the little things that still need to be done. Despite that Ive started packing up my house for the move and collecting moving boxes.

We still need our range hood and oven installed. We got the large gas burner oven as a free upgrade because we asked and the sales agent said yes. We also need the plumber to do the water tank and some taps are missing. Also a site clean which is due on Monday. The pile out the front is massive. I couldn't get a good photo of the front because of it. I will take one next week because the garage door is now on. i am happy with the colours. Surfmist goes well with the bricks.

After some indecision we have decided to moroka the house not render - still haven't decided officially on the colour. We were thinking a grey like shale grey but not sure yet because surfmist is warmer the blue tones in shale grey might look odd. Love to do a patch test first.

Once we have our inspection I will arrange insurance and an interim occupation certificate.
