Congrats guys! That's great news.
That's awesome! Now the work really starts for you. Hopefully you will find some tme to whack a few more photos up.
Congrats!
Hey guys, thanks for your comments.
Yes the real fun does begin. Have to organise the following:
Telephone connection
Driveway & front path
Clothes line
Decking at front entrance
Relocating front water tap
Side gates
Tile clean & seal
Kitchen benchtop seal
A thorough clean of the entire house
Garden
Alfresco flooring
etc etc
There were approx 40 items that had to be addressed by PD, all minor. Just took a while to rectify. Its harder to get tradies to complete the final touches. Its on there lower priority list, but it does get done.
Will keep you all posted, and will take more pics very soon.
Congratulations, and good luck with all the finishing touches. I noticed you mentioned a thorough clean was needed - do they leave it a bit dirty??? Look forward to lots of pics! ;)
Hello Andrew & Simone, congrats on receiving the new home and now the fun will begin. It looks real good and I am sure you are happy. Hope to see how it progresses (more photos), especially when you finish off that list of things to do.
Cheers
PHOTOS, PHOTOS, PHOTOS.......we want them.....please!
A gentle reminder that we are still waiting for some pictures. We know you are busy... but your fans await! :-)
B&P you are so tactful.....I just yell PHOTOS PHOTOS!!!
Andy, I just noticed that you have "kitchen bench sealing" on your to do list shown above. Did you know that you don't have to seal QQ?
Hey guys,
Sorry for not posting any pics...
We havent moved in yet, next wed cant wait....
our flooring is being done now, will take pics this weekend.
Have organised relocating the front tap, as it was too close to the driveway, phone trench, and staining/varnishing the staircase.
Perry, i like yr idea of having an open day, when yr place is finished. I too will do the same for u guys. We "cremorne" lovers need to stick together....
Watch this space........
Chat soon
woo hoo next Wednesday! Can't wait to see the pics, we have been waiting so patiently haven't we Perry?
Andy, hope it's all going smooooothly for you and Simone. You are nearly there, on the home straight now :-)
According to the manufacturers, no sealing is required. I'm interested too as we have the same bench tops.
...and let's not forget the lonely lil' Brookvale builder :P...Really looking forward to seeing an actual "finished" house!!! We're having QQ, too - I din't think you had to seal it, either!?! Were you advised to do that, even if they say you don't HAVE to?
Bet you just can't wait till Wed! All the best....and, yes, bring on the photos! :)
Bloody Christmas is coming.......I am dying to see your place finished! The first Cremorne out of us bloggers. Can't wait, hope the moving in went okay.
