Hi, as you may already guess, We have already moved to our new house, we haven't been updating the blog as it has been a really busy period of time. No only because the house, and the almost 5 times we needed to call the air conditioner guys, 4 times the garage door company, and 3 times the plumber to fix the same issue; but because the last family member has arrived.. and he is...an earthquake...</div>

Hi guys, seems like the building is finally coming to a end. No sure we will miss the 4 times a week trip to check what was new in the house. However, there are still plenty of things yet to start, but the main thing, the house is almost finished. Two weeks ago was our PCI, we thought it was just a informal walkthrough until a day before when WH sent us an email saying that our PCI was in the following days :-).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The PCI was around 3 hours, we brought to the meeting a list of observations that we compiled over our last visits, most of the items were still valid. Then we went through the house checking imperfections in painting, mortar in general, scratched windows and small details mostly. The meeting was at 7am and the SS was there before us, so he had already put some blue tape in several things to fix.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After the meeting the SS told us that he was able to accommodate all fixes and pending things in the next two weeks, so we can have the house ready before Easter. We were a little bit sceptic about the date, but after one week, it seems we may be able to get all things done. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The biggest issue highlighted in the PCI was that the kitchen bench (or the tiles under it) were a little bit misaligned. We were told that it may be possible to play around with them to hide the misalignment. It is not a big issue, I didn't even notice, but my wife found it.. and as the SS told us, once you saw that kind of thing, it will bother you forever. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Pending for this week are: fix this misalignment I mentioned, finishing the water tank installation, driveway sealing, carpet installation, replace damaged windows, mortar fixing, painting fixing and some gyprock repairs, main door painting. It sounds a lot now that I'm writing down the list, but we trust we will make it. The settlement day is scheduled for this Thursday. Let see how things unfold...</div>

The towel rail was placed in an incorrect place, we requested explicitly to be placed close to the spa, as we were planning to put something else in that place. I wonder if houses would be less expensive if builders do less errors. Now in order to move it, they will need to remove the shower glass, remove the mirror and replace 3 tiles.</div>

We are waiting for the tiling to start, but in the meantime some bit and pieces have been happening. Yesterday the bathtub, toilets, spa and door handles were delivered. We also realised that the shelves in the pantry were already installed.. no sure when though. Today we found that the Garage door was installed, it was really quick. We were discussing why we didn't have the Wisdom Ad in our house and today it was finally place in the fence... haha it is funny as we are really close to completion.. (well at least it seems like it). Enjoy the photos.</div>

Sorry for the car photobombing.. but I liked this picture, the sky was just so full of colours... The façade is almost finished and now we can see the colours in real life. We think now that the combination was a little bit risky, but I think the final product is looking good, now we need to think about the colour of the fence, so it matches the same palette. Our garage door will be surfmist, close to the colour of the fence with our neighbours and to the first floor cladding. The balcony is missing the rail bars yet and also a privacy screen in the right side, which was required by CDC. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the fence we are thinking in using <a href="http://www.modularwalls.com.au/" target="_blank">modular walls system</a> but we are still trying to decide if we should go all around the corner until the driveway (1.8m decreasing to 1.2m high in the corner and front) or whether we should just put some retaining walls with some shrubs (like a raised garden bed) for the delimiting the land.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We have been growing some Lilly Pilly Acmena var minor (28 of them) in the balcony of the place we are living now, and we have also some English Box (around 60). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our idea is to use the English boxes to create a path towards the door and put the Lilly Pillies behind the modular wall (in case we decide to go all round the corner), or put them in top of the raised bed garden (if we decide to go for that).. decisions... decisions... :-) </div>

Some photos of the progress done during the last weeks. The house is taking shape and finally we feel close to the end. Last week I've received a call from the Site Supervisor saying that he was leaving WH and that he will hand over to another person. We will have a meeting with him tomorrow morning, we hope we can get an approx. date of completion. Our previous supervisor told us some months ago that the house will be finished on February, however we see that very unlikely. We hope we still on time to finish in March, we'll update you as soon as we know. The house is looking beautiful, we are really happy with the options we took, with exception of small details such the mirror in the ensuite.. when we realised that having only one mirror was an upgrade, it was already late to do any change. Anyways, enjoy the photos :-)</div>

First thing.. We hope you have enjoyed a nice time over the end of the year break and with your families and friends during Christmas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We were lucky to finally do a lifetime-delayed travel to Europe, it was really nice time [and freaking cold too :-) ], it was almost a month so we came back with a lot of expectations about what would be the construction progress... Well it wasn't bad at all... tiles have been installed through all the wet areas (main bathroom, en-suite, powder room, laundry and porch). There were also some work done to open cavities in the gyprock for electrical and a/c installations. Additionally, the ground floor bricks have been cleaned up and the balcony cladding is finished. Here some pics:</div>

They left a little bit late, so we didn't have much time to actually see things with sun light. Here are some pictures:<br />

Obviously we weren't happy with that, as It took us a long time to make the decision the first time and then another bit to convince the kitchen provider to use different colour of Caesar Stone. <br />
Anyway we went there today and we weren't convinced by the other available options. We couldn't find some of the others tiles we picked the first time for the other bathrooms, apparently they have been removed from the prestige package as they are more expensive now. The girl that was helping us proposed us to have a look into a lower category, we almost decided to pick one of those, but them we asked to another person in the reception and (apparently she is kind of a manager) she told us that, as it was their fault we can choose one from the upgrade options :-) yay!!!.. we saw this other tile from the beginning, but were reticent to spend more money.. at the end we got the upgrade for free and we also changed the floor tile too to match this new wall tile. The only thing we didn't change was the featured tile, as we like the one we choose months ago. So this is the new tiles for wall and floor of the ensuite.<br />

Hi, we had some progress during the past week. Ground floor roof tiles were installed, insulation and cladding were started. Also cornices and gyprock were delivered. Some additional work has been done to fix some observations found by a <a href="http://hnkryan.com/" target="_blank">builder inspector</a> we hired to check that everything was in order. Most of the observations were related to some missing and lose noggins. Only 3 from the whole report were classified as defects, and there was an additional observation about seeking the engineer certification for a post that is supporting one of the blue steel bars (the one close to the stairs). Last Friday I've received a call from our SS letting us know that someone will be working on fixing those issues and everything should be done by Monday.</div>

We were to the site on Friday and Saturday, we noticed that they were actually working on Saturday morning.</div>

Can you see the blue thing under the insulation? It is a damage to the membrane that goes underneath the roof tiles.We mentioned this to the SS weeks ago, he told us that they will fix it. Yesterday, we moved a little bit that part of the insulation and we realised that nothing has been done and it is still broken.We reckon that can create leaks and we are not happy that we need to highlight the same issue several times. We found in the floor a section of this membrane which apparently was supposed to be used to fix this, however it wasn't used and the problem was just hidden under the insulation.</div>

The view in the path in front of the house :-)</div>

These last week have been a little bit full on. I'm currently doing a master degree and I was finishing assignments and final exams. It is really hard to juggle the full time job, the master and the building of our house, however I've just finished my final exam and now I'm officially on holidays (only from the univ.).. well at least for the next 3 months :-)<br />
<br />
There has been some progress in our house during the last weeks, it is still a little bit slow with some days with no activity at all, but the days where the tradies are working... man they are quick.<br />
<br />
So, this happen since the last post:<br />
<ol>
<li>Brick work has been finished.</li>
<li>Upper gutter and fascia.</li>
<li>Air conditioned conducts and electrical connections were done.</li>
<li>Roof Tiles for ground floor roof were delivered.</li>
<li>Upper eaves.</li>
<li>Some small carpentry works have been done inside the house and some damaged timber have been replaced.</li>
<li>Scaffolding was removed </li>
<li>Gutter and fascia in ground floor.</li>
<li>Electrical works</li>
<li>Some ducts in powder room and kitchen.</li>
<li>Building materials for balcony has been delivered.</li>
</ol>
<div>
I had a chat with our SS, he told me that the roof was supposed to be installed today but it was too hot. He also mentioned that next week the roof will be finished, the insulation will be delivered and installed and gyprock will be delivered on Friday. It is possible that plastered will start working the same day. Looking forward to next week.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSZNcX2A5LIpePl7bDiZFKmx2lcpHaeVl_0vSgGznm8yYBwPjpq0U0LFuPzT5M8JvMf0KPzf4-zbyee_IDlkAZet2rX9tEaoeeF6X6VHoFgOrfNzVUmFQPAHmAhyuJAiRhzvgsXNfPFas/s1600/question.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSZNcX2A5LIpePl7bDiZFKmx2lcpHaeVl_0vSgGznm8yYBwPjpq0U0LFuPzT5M8JvMf0KPzf4-zbyee_IDlkAZet2rX9tEaoeeF6X6VHoFgOrfNzVUmFQPAHmAhyuJAiRhzvgsXNfPFas/s1600/question.jpg" height="200" width="200" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br style="background-color: #fafaf7; color: #333333; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /></span>
Can we know beforehand the range of selections available for your house?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Yes, depending on your house, you have the smart, metro or prestige range. As we choose the Majestic, we have the prestige range. On WH website one can download the pdf file for any of the ranges available.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Now if you are still on tender stage (not accepted the tender yet), details about colours sometimes seem difficult to get, but in websites such as home one, one can find people who share what standard is, also reading some blogs can help. You can see in the right side of my blog links to many blog building right now, each of them are a very valuable source of information.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Once you accept the tender, you will receive a USB with an amazing quantity of information about what is included in your range (smart/metro/prestige) and you have to do your homework and familiarise yourself with all this. It really seems a lot, but since you receive the usb until the moment you start to choose, it could be 3 months. So...you will have time.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Flooring, you can go to DiLorenzo and ask the staff about the inclusion for WH. It is really easy to explore your options. And also, for what I know, you can ask maybe for different tiles than maybe are not being shown at the moment. We stayed to the standard.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Carpets, this is really easy, as they have (at DiLorenzo) a builder range and the rest. There are beautiful carpets, but at least for me, the really nice ones were really expensive for us, so we kept the standard and upgraded the underlay. They have 3 types of underlays, we choose the blue, that is the more expensive.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Kitchen, you can see what is included in the pdf from the website, and the materials/colours in the USB. Basically here, everything that is not laminate is an upgrade. We haven't wrote an post about kitchen, so maybe that will be my next. We have close to 3k value of upgrades: waterfalls edge to the benchtop, 2 colours in the cupboards, kickboards and polyurethane in upper cupboards.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">In the USB you will have all the info except from electrical, but I can tell that in regards of electrical basically you have a powerpoint and light throughout. In the kitchen all the powerpoint for appliances are included (I was worried about this at the beginning). Also, powerpoint for all the things that are included with your house (HWS, aircon, etc). We upgraded our bathtub to spa, and that included the powerpoint for that.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you are still deciding about going with them, you also can visit the display and ask for the list price, so you can see the prices for upgrades, and even better you can ask to the consultant to show you the display, so they can mention what is included and what is not (sometimes the lists do not mention everything, especially little things).</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">What is included in electrical:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">- Previous to the electrical appointment you will receive a list with all the items included as standard (for your house) i.e. you will have 'X' number of power points and so on. Then you can play with them, if you decide you can put for example more in a room and left a room without powerpoint (just an example). The same with the other items. You can see in my <a href="http://ourhouseinvoyagerpoint.blogspot.com.au/2014/04/electrical-appointment.html" target="_blank">electrical</a> post other details. The list that you will receive will have the prices of any extra, so you can know before your appointment how much you will need to pay.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I will try to write a post with details about Kitchen. I hope this can help you.</span><br />

Finally!!!<br />
<br />
We have been on site this Tuesday, Wednesday and today(Thursday)<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>On Tuesday, we saw the delivery of the roof tiles. Our roof tiles are Palladium from Bristile. We took some pictures and we left the site just in time because as you maybe know we had the worse storm in Sydney of the last decade. However, as we learnt later, the rain wasn't too heavy at Voyager Point. We currently live in Sutherland Shire and we were really worry as in this part of Sydney the storm had really strong winds and heavy rain.</li>
<li>On Wednesday, we went again to assess the damage (that we thought we had) and for our surprise, we had a upper roof :) so happy. At least we will be less worried in the next rain, storm etc... I don't care anymore about the weather lol</li>
<li>Today, we went again, but with daylight to appreciate in more detail the roof. We are really happy with the colour, it looks like different colours in one. The clouds reflect nicely at dusk, and I have noticed that in my estate nice houses have light roof colour.</li>
</ul>

Well, what should I care about it? We are paying for a house to be build, we are not getting it done for free, so as a minimum we were expecting the builder will have the personnel to accomplish its core business activity (build houses).<br />
<br />
It has been very frustrating, first the weather and then in top of that the additional delay for the shortage of brick layers... WH seems to be taking more businesses that they can do or they don't care much about their customers. I hope they can make up for this delay, it is not just that we may get the house a month late, but any delay means lost money in extra weeks of rent from our current apartment.<br />
<br />
This is how the house is looking today, the off-white doesn't look off-white, but as my neighbour told me, it may be that we need to wait a little bit and once is dry it may look different.<br />

Last Friday we received a call from our SS, he mentioned that we will need to wait for some of the brick layers to finish their delayed jobs.. So, I guess no much will happen this week. However, yesterday the cement and sand was delivered. We took a brick home, so we can see it on daylight time. It looks a little bit more brownish that the samples we have and it has some very small red spots. Doesn't look bad at all, just a little bit different. Let's see how they look once they are in place. </div>

Last 2 weeks have been really slow, the weather hasn't been helping much. Last week bricks were delivered and that was it, no much to tell. The day after the bricks were delivered we paid a visit to the site, it was around 8-9pm. We were just having a look when someone suddenly parked in front of our lot. Two guys came off the car and started asking us some questions, what are you up to? are you the owners? they even requested me to show an identification. They told me they were police, however one of them seemed to be too young for being a police officer. I made a mistake in not asking for any identification. Anyway, it is good if the police is actually checking the state. Two or three weeks ago some robberies have been reported, approximately 16 hot water systems were stolen from DHA's houses. </div>

Windows were installed today, tomorrow the plumber will start doing some connections. Some windows were bigger than we expected such the window in the kitchen. Some other were much more smaller, such the window at the powder room. In overall, we are happy with the progress, but we have found some small things that worry us a little. We've submitted some observations to our SS, but no response yet. I called him today, he offered to call me back tomorrow. I'll let you know the results of that once these observations are cleared up. Today, we received the second progress payment notification.. :-) man.. bills are coming quicker than we were expecting.</div>

Hi, some extensive progress is being happening this week, even though, it rained on Tuesday. We've just came back from VP , we are really excited with the work done so far; but also a little bit sad because we can't follow the process more closely as we both work full time and the only time we can check what is happening is during the night or during weekends. Anyway, spring is coming and with longer days we will be able to go after work and at least see something in sunlight. Some photos we took today:</div>

Our slab was poured today :-) It was very early in the morning, so no chance for us to take a look. We hope things keep at the same pace. We just came back from VP, we had dinner in front of our lot, as a celebration for the slab :-) (it was just pizza, coca cola and 15 degrees Celsius), somebody was walking the dog close to our lot and gave us THE look. I hope she didn't think we were doing something weird. Anyway, here some photos. I reckon nothing else will happen for this week, so we will stop going to VP at least until next week.</div>

Hi, we still haven't heard anything from our SS, however things are still happening in our lot. Today we found that the waffle pods were already placed, we reckon the slab is getting closer everyday. Here I'm leaving you some photos of how our lot looks at the moment. Enjoy :-) </div>

Some months ago we decided to start cultivating the hedges we will put on the path towards the main entry. We were trying to decide between English boxes and Japanese boxes. At the end we decided for English boxes as these grow taller than the Japanese ones (1.5m vs 1m). We bought our first 3 in Masters, it was 2 dollars each. Next week we went to Bunnings and bought 5 more to almost 3 dollars each. At that time I saw some business selling hedges on ebay, but I wasn't sure about buy as most of them are in Victoria, no sure why there aren't any around NSW. Anyways, the other day we found some disposable pots that went thrown away, around 20. So we decided give it a go and buy some hedges in ebay. I found a <a href="http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/TRAYS-OF-FORTY-TWO-ENGLISH-BOX-HEDGE-PLANTS-IN-TUBES-/380216125848" target="_blank">business</a> that was selling plants of 25cm for 3 dollars (but without pots, just single plants with naked roots). In Bunnings a plant of the same size is $15 each. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
At the end we bought 15 plants, so it was $45 + postage = $60 + 3 pot mix bags = a Grand Total of <b>$72</b></div>
<div>
If we would have bought the same in Bunnings it would have been 15$ x 15 = <b>$225</b> </div>
<div>
So far, the plants seem to be perfect. The old ones have plenty of catch up to do ;-) </div>
