PCI done. R.I.P Woody

Where do I start? What a shit of a day and yet great at the same time....

The carpet in the meals/family area is going to be replaced and lots of walls are going to be fully repainted as he doesn't like touch up jobs being done as you can see them - the two sides of the entrance, the two main walls of the meals/family plus the toilet is going to be re-sanded and painted as you can see some plaster joins, a laundry wall will also be re done. 3 lights weren't working so they will be fixed, the outside junction box will be changed. The laminate bench in the ensuite will be fixed/replaced. The front render will be fixed, the power point int he bathroom has had to be put in the cupboard due to the smallness of the room and proximity to water sources and the post at the front of the house will be fixed properly. And then there are lots of bits that need repainting around the cornices etc due to movement and they will probably need to be re-done at the 3 and 12 month checks too... c'est la vie
I forgot the hair dryer so I didn't check any power points but I'm really not too worried as my SS has said that he looks after things for the first month, so anything I see that needs fixing he will get fixed in that first month and then it goes to the maintenance people and that alone leaves me feeling good as I know he does a good job.

I took photo's but really can't be bothered posting them as nothing has changed other than the addition of the red dots... splashback will go in later this week. It takes a while as they can't measure for it until the stone bench tops are in and then they need to cut the glass and then send it to the painters to be painted.

I've just checked my colour selections and I think they have installed the wrong internal door handles, everything is satin chrome but the door handles are all shiny and not a matt finish - gah, do I bother or not?

Oh and my phone got connected today! The appointment was meant to be for 8am-12pm but at 11:30 he came past and I told him how glad I was he arrived and he said he is about 4hrs early - they moved my appointment to 1pm-5pm and no one told me, anyway he had another one for a house just down the road so he did mine at the same time!

Just after starting my inspection I got a phone call from my sister to tell me that one of our long time family friend died in an accident this morning. I've known him for over half of my life and if I hadn't got back in contact with my Dad I would have asked him to walk me down the aisle if I was to ever get married. He leaves behind a lovely Wife, Tanya and two sons Trent and Hayden.

I was meant to go back to work this afternoon but just not in the head space for it. I'm also mean to help officiate/judge a cycling event my club is running tonight and I just don't know if I will or not yet... feeling pretty crappy and not in the mood to be around people

Inside photo's!

I got into the house today! The electricians were there moving the light switch in the garage and the guy was there installing the shower screens!

It was soooooooooo nice just walking around my house with the carpet in, it really felt like a house and almost like a home!!

Carpet

My carpet was installed today! I'm not really sure I like it, I don't mean I hate it, but I expected it to be a bit darker and browner or something, it just seems a bit washed out in the meals and family room.
The colour is Old Leather

Master bedroom carpet


Meals area see how much lighter it looks


Bed 2 - see how much darker and browner it looks and not as washed out


Rumpus to the front door

It sure had been, the windows were VERY clean!

Due to work I haven't been to see my house for 2 days, but today when I got there rather late the tiler was there putting the final tile back on from needing to leave it off for the plumber so I was able to get in to get photos!

More tiling photos but from inside

I had a bit of time to kill this morning so naturally I went up to my house :D I also managed to find a door that was left unlocked! Sweeeeeeet! I got lots of photo's and spent a long time checking out all the paint work - I'm VERY impressed with the painting!! There are some marks and scratches but they are probably from the tilers - it happens.
Also, happy to report that the previous photo's of the paint on the cabinet work has been fixed!
