Well its been a while since my last update. Plenty to report. We have now lived in our new home for just over 2 months. We are enjoying every bit of it. The house looks great, no quality issues, and nothing broken...all good... Our 3 month maintenance is up, and the PD maintenance inspector was fantastic. Not many issues at all, only a few minor things, paint touch ups etc. He commented on our floors, he thought we had hardwood timber, but no its vinyl. Karndean flooring...which fools most people..He was so impressed that PD might consider laying vinyl flooring in there display homes... This thursday we are booked for the maintenance work. Should only take a day.
We finally had our driveway done, on tuesday. The delay due to concrete guy being ill and bad weather. It will be sealed next week, making sure the concrete has completely dried. We choose the base colour as "Sandstone" and the release colour, "chocolate". Once sealed the colurs will come out. Suits the house, we didnt want a dark colour, ie grey as it would have clashed with our portico.
The front porch will be decked shortly, using "spotted gum 136mm wide planks.
Glad to see the other cremorne owners are progressing well, perry and M&M congrats on moving in, all look superb, all unique.
Enjoy the pics....
Our new couches & ottoman.
Temporary window coverings. Redi shade, available from selected bunnings stores. Much more attractive than mums old bed sheets....
Powder room towel holder, Irwell (Metro Series), they even match the door handles...

Hey... an update from the past. I often check your blog to see if you have any news. Great to hear from you, particularly as you have now logged 2 months live-in time. (Those uf us still constructing can only imagine living in our Cremornes..!!)
Well.... first lets get the observations covered. That floor looks stunning. Real timber or laminate? Did you lay it?
The patternm on the driveway also gets a big tick.
And seems those temporary blinds are the obvious solution to those that are broke from construction...!!
Ever so glad to hear that you have had no problems in your first few months. Fingers crossed for the rest of us. Well done guys
Thanks Degaul
The flooring is not laminate or timber floating floors, its actually vinyl planks, the Karndean Van Goff range, lancewood colour. Visit the karndean website, and you will be amased of its quality, durability and stunning looks...quite expensive..Its used mainly in commercial properties, and some domestic. We had it professionally laid, along with the carpets by the same company...
The driveway will look even better once its sealed. Also I need to paint our new letter box once the weather gets better, and remove the temporary one.
So many things to do, its the biggest money pit i can assure you....and then its the back yard after that...
Thanks again
Andy
LOL - thought you'd disappeared!!! It's all looking good, and great to see that you're really enjoying your new home. Can't wait to get to that point...it just seems sooo far off! Patience....
Nice driveway and lounge suite ;-)
Looks like a real house with that driveway down. It's kind of weird looking at another Cremorne - we see our house, but with someone elses furniture in it!
Hi Andy and Simone, thanks for the update and pics ;-) Everything is coming together, driveway and path looks great, your new couches look really comfy and the bathroom accessories look great too.
Pleased to hear that there wasn't many things to get fixed at the 3mth inspection. Can't believe it's been 3 months since you got your house!!! Enjoy!
A&S,
place is looking really good, glad to see it is all working out and your sorting out the little after move in items.
R&C
