Day 129: Fiber Optic conduit installed..

Visited the site today and saw that they already put the fibre optic conduit.  But peering into the windows, it seems that the data cabling is still not done...

 There is also another thing, they put the gas entry point on the brick pergola post and on the side of the footpath making the footpath narrower...

Day 127: Updates on issues..

Got an email from E.R. today regarding the variations on issues:

-- all quad power points will be replaced by 2 X double power points
-- pergola colour will be deep walnut
-- the corner floodlight will be a power point instead..


also booked in for PCI next week, Friday... :D

Day 126: We "forgot" the paint colour for the pergola

Got a call from E.R. today asking for the paint colour that we want for the pergola since we forgot to choose it during colour selection. I told her that we didn't forget, it was just that the pergola was presented to us during tender and we pretty much have to agree to it since we were told that it would delay our build if we want it removed since the plans have to go to the estate approval process again..

Can't decide on the colours, but I might go deep walnut to match that beam on top of the porch...

Also got the news that there are no slimline version of the quad power points. Told them to put two double power points instead. Still waiting for the answer.

And still no news if the data cabling is alredy there!!!!

Day 121: Facade Colours

Wohooo...we didn't mess up the facade colours...

Day 114: Pergola and Garage Door

It's been too long since I last updated the blog, been very busy.. But I am happy to say that the expensive pergola is finally up and it doesn't look bad all..

And we have the garage doors already so there is no way we have access to the house now..

Day 100: We bought a new TV for the new house

Hahahaha, not really an update on the house build but today, we have decided to buy a new TV for the new house. I was so decided on the Samsung 46" LCD but then I saw the Sony 50" one and the guy at JB HiFi pretty much gave me a decent deal for it. And with free PS3 :D. The downside is that they don't have stock for 3-4 weeks but that's all good since it is for the new house anyway and the house will not be finished before they get the stock.

And on the way home, we realised that when we moved to our current place, TV was also the first major appliance that we bought... :D

Day 80: Painting

It's been a while since I visited the site so I was hoping that there would be a lot of work already done, and there are.

First of is that the top of the porch is finally put on. It is like one of the main features of the facade so I am very happy to see it.

And I notice that the bricks looked different and upon closer inspection, it is because they already cleaned it.

But a bit worried with the image below as the damp-proof plastic used is showing and sticking out of the bricks.

And also, they have started painting the walls, ceilings and doors.

And they still have not fixed the benchtops and I still don't have my smart wiring.
