We've already started shopping . So far we've bought a new leather sofa, new bed and rugs. Can't wait to see it all in place now.

We collected the keys on Friday. It was so exciting. Getting a few things done like painting, gates and pool etc then will be ready to move in.

We had PCI on Thursday and it was all pretty good. A few minor things to fix up but all in all its all good. Counting down the days now…

I'm sure it will as they are great tiles

Site clean is now done so we are only days away from practical completion.

Wow good spotting on the tile. Ours is the Livingstone Grey tile too. We saw it in a display home and fell in love with it then.

It's been a while since I've posted any updates so here's a few pics of the house. The flooring is going in this week and hopefully PCI will happen the…

It's looking fantastic now. Saw the supervisor last week and he said that he think we'll probably be at PCI in about 4 weeks.

Wow it's starting to look like a real house now that walls are up

We just got to lockup today. Woo hoo

Thanks ZoePerth. Alkimos Beach looks lovely too and I see that they are planning a cafe and tavern there too.

Thanks SallyS, it's a little scary choosing such significant colours off a tiny sample piece istn't it. I'm really pleased with the colour too. Building in Shorehaven, we…

Thanks Spuddles. It's getting very exciting now seeing it all come together.

Render nearly finished on front

Yes it's all moving so quickly now. The inspector picked up quite a few things at the brickwork and roof frame stages so they have now been fixed.
We…

No wait, it is actually slows down the curing process. The point of the spray is so you don't have to keep wetting the concrete every hour to stop…

I think it's the stuff they spray on to help the slab cure quicker

Yeah I'd imagine that you would get a lot more water off a colourbond roof than tiles. I know what you mean about being indecisive though. The more…

We chose it becuase we like the look of them better on the new houses. Shorhaven estate does have specific requirements about "light colours" but it can be tile…

Colourbond roof is on now. Colour is Shale Grey.

I'm sure all issues will be sorted. We having a meeting with our building supervisor tomorrow.

We got our second building inspection report back though and there are quite a few non compliance and other issues that need to be sorted out. Hopefully the builder will…

Went to check the house today and the roof frame is up already. It's looking great too and starting to take shape.

I don't think anything will be happening on the block today as we've reached palte height, and I'm just waiting on the building inpection report to come back before I…

We are building in Shorehaven in Alkimos as well. We are in the Rise and got a great block. The build has already started and we are at…

We had quite a bit of rain over but today is gorgeous so hopefully they'll be back into it tomorrow

I've never used a steam mop on the laminate floors that we have now, but I do use a damp mop. I think it's only an issue if the laminate…

We've gone with laminate as that is very hard wearing. We have laminate floors in our current home and that's great with the dogs and doesn't scratch at all. Very…

We had a pretty good idea of what we wanted. We have dogs so wanted a durable hard floor but not tiles as they feel a little cold.
The best…
