Our new light fittings

Hey everyone,

We had our light fittings installed the other day, to the kitchen, dining, powder room & front facade. Hope you like the pics.

Excuse the fancy window coverings, old sheets still come in handy, while we transition to our new ones...

We have a new Home......

Hey guys and girls

Well after a long and exhausting few weeks, we finally moved into our new Home last wednesday. So many boxes to unpack, and yes the house is big. Need to fill it more with new furniture...


Thanks for your patience, so much we had to organise, currently on dial up internet, waiting for our broadband to be configured.

There is so much to organise prior and post moving. Ie: Foxtel, phone, appliance commisioning, driveway, fencing, porch decking, etc

Here's a few pics......Take note of our floor, looks like timber doesnt it........ The 2nd pic, displays the 1st half of the floor sealed and towards the hallway not sealed. Our new Karndean vinyl planks is awesome, warmer than tiles, and looks and feels like timber, so many people think its timber... The rumpus room, lounge/library & front study are carpeted. All upstairs is carpeted, excluding hte wet areas of course..






More pics to come, once the driveway, light fittings, front porch decking are completed.

Lucky Im on holidays, so much to do. Wil take a while to sort out all the unpacked boxed, its amasing how much you accumulate over the years....

Our friends have been most impressed with the quality & design of our home. It feels like such an accomplishment, like I have given birth to it...:)....All those late nights discussing colours, options, upgrades, checking each day on the progress, taking pics, and watching it progress has been an enjoyable experience, one that everyone should encounter in there life.

To all my cremorne fans, thanks again, for all your feedback. Each of the houses are unique in there own way, and all look great, and soon to be your home, its such a wonderful experience.

Chat soon

Handover coming soon

PD are resolving a few minor issues before handover will occur. Once all reported items are rectified, a final inspection will be made, then a trip to the PD office to collect our keys, and of course the handover of the bank cheque....

Our flooring guys are keen to commence after handover, and then comes the laborious task of packing, and relocating........fun fun fun


ETA of handover, possibly in a weeks time. Site Supervisor to inform us very soon.


Thanks everyone for your comments & feedback, much appreciated.

Pre Handover Inspection Completed--2 weeks till handover

Hi all. We had our PCI yesterday. It took around 4 hours to inspect the whole house, both internally & externally. Nothing major, only minor things. ie: Paint blotches, marks, a few cracked tiles etc.

We are very fortunate to have a great supervisor who also pointed out faults for us. There are plenty of coloured stickers on the walls. we were both thoroughly prepared and knew what to look for. We have been fortunate that we have had great tradesman & supervisor involved in the building of our new home.

Within the next 2 weeks, rectifications will be made and all faults & issues will be resolved.

The final coat of render will be applied just before handover, as to avoid damage by tradesmen. Garage door soon to be fitted.

Nearly there.........

PS: We didnt opt for an independent inspector as I have been involved with all the stages of building, and am confident that all has been built with the greatest of quality. Also helps if you have a great supervisor. And even if we missed some minor items, there is always the maintenance period, 3 & 12 months.....
