This is it, the long-awaited day has arrived. We have a final inspection tonight then we’re handed the keys to our new home.
The song ‘This is it’ by Dannii Minogue has been running through my head all morning… here’s a little sample of the high quality pop music Dannii produced in the 90’s to give you a taste of the mood I’m in:
To give you an update on what’s been happening inside for the last 2 months here are some photos…
The painter has done an AMAZING job both inside and out. We loved that he really thought about what he was doing, and offered suggestions for better ways to use the colours and different strengths to improve the way it would look…
The electrician has installed all the lighting, power points, fans, external lights etc. Adding the pendant lights above the dining table has really finished that area, and created a feeling of intimacy…
The tiling and plumbing is completed, and looks great with the shiny porcelain tiles and the goose-neck taps. We chose to run the rectangular floor tile lengthwise along the bathroom, then continue with that line up the wall – creating a line for the eye to follow.
Bathroom (you are looking at where the free-standing bath will go)…
Powder room and toilet…
Laundry…
Ensuite…
The floorboards have been polished, and the carpet is down in the bedrooms and living room.
I will follow with a video walk-through I will take during our handover tonight, and some final shots before we move in, and then after. I still have a few more posts to write about the window furnishings (being installed next week), contract variations and some general tips when building. In the meantime we will be busy moving in!
Cheers,
Bernice

Congratulations on finally reaching the end of your project. the house looks fantastic.
Your blog has been most informative for us as we are also building with Pivot on the other side of the fairway from you.
Enjoy your new home.

Hi Craig and Kellie,
Thanks for the message. Feel free to knock on the door if you would like to have a look through… it can help with making some of your final choices at the finishing stage.
Good luck with your build… we enjoyed every minute of ours (I’m a little sad the whole process is over!)
Bernice.
