We have the power... well, almost

Since I said some words of disappointment to my builder last week, I didn't expect much would happen on site. After all no approval have been given by council. We requested start dates, and a tentative completion date. But after a week and a half, still no dates. Several people who are looking over the build have been away, and I expect the delays to get worse. There has been repeated correspondence about agreeing to plans and selections, but the builder can't get the details right. I don't blame them since it has been several months from the time we had the selection meetings. We keep a good record of all our dealings. Probably better than them. Lots of request for changes and clarification on this and that. It doesn't happen fast, it seems to take days to get an answer or response back. But things seem to be looking better. We have a temporary power pole. I'm sure they are going to need this to have power tools working when construction happens. Next is to have water connected, since they've been using the neighbours taps to wash down.

Landscaping done

Today the ground was wet, but the landscapers got the job done before lunch time. I also noticed the house had a big tidy up and looks nice and shiny. The countdown is on, and the handover inspection has been booked. 3 Days Paint to front of wall Stair/handrail polish final coats??

Now we have power

Today the meter was finally installed. After receiving a notice that it would be completed with 10 business days, it finally took 12 business days. Landscapers were back to scrape and level the yard ready for plants, edging, gravel and turf. Can't wait to see the finished product. Fences were installed on the front wall. Judging by the pictures, it looks like the blinds are going to be installed and carpet started soon. What's Left 10 Days Paint to front of wall Stair/handrail polish final coats??
