PCI wrapup
OK, so I've been a bit lazy about posting about PCI. It went fairly well, in that we didn't find any major flaws or problems, although there were still a reasonably large number of minor issues to add to our existing list of items to be fixed or finished. The inspector identified some of the same issues as us, as well as some that we had not picked up, so I think he was worth the money.
We received the final invoice from Simonds last Thursday, with a credit for $3500 because they hadn't needed a spotter for overhead wires. Woohoo! We are still trying to find out what happens with the $2500 allocated for the council asset protection, as we should be getting this back at settlement also (provided nothing needs replacing).
The latest feedback from Simonds is that they should be finished at the end of this week. I somehow doubt it with what is still left to be done We've passed on the invoice to the bank so at least that will all be ready for us, and I've started the process of getting our phone line connected.
So here's the list that needed completion after PCI. I've marked items in green that appeared to be complete yesterday morning, and orange if they are partially done :
- Add hand rail to lower half of stair case in hardwood and stain
- Install flyscreens to all windows and 2 sliding flydoors
- Painting to gable
- Glass and aluminium cover to window sill behind stove

- Dining door hinge to be fixed and door adjusted to ensure latching (found this was being held together with an allen key, lol)
- Laundry cabinet hinge to be adjusted
- Add robe hooks to ensuite door
- Replace and extend tiling in ensuite to meet repositioned door
- Install towel rings in powder room and main bathroom
- Install heating thermostat in study
- Caulking to kitchen splashback

PCI booked...
PCI has finally been booked in for Monday 2nd July at 8am. I've also booked in an independent inspector to join us and provide a report to ensure the house has been built to australian building standards. This will help take the pressure off us, so we can focus on the finishing touches of the house. Even so, when writing up my checklist for the day, I was surprised when it ended up being 10 pages long! In this case, I think paranoia is a good thing.
...and as I hate to post without providing pictures, here's one of the carpet we've chosen - it's the third from the top.

Driveway
Well, it's been a very slow few weeks, and not much has happened on site in that time, but we've finally had our driveway concreted.
Saturday 9 June 2012
Full frontal
Not much to report this week. The QA inspection has been pushed back a week to next Tuesday, and we haven't been inside to see what has been acheived, but from the outside we can see that the driveway is yet to be poured, the flyscreens and flydoors are yet to be installed, and the gable painting is yet to be finished.
On the more positive side, we have chosen our carpet - Smartstrand Design II in colour 'Outback'. I can't find a good picture to show you, but it's a brownish colour with a textured pattern that looks a bit like the grain in the hardwood floor. It's lovely and soft too, so I'm very happy to have that sorted out.
I've found some DIY pendant lights that I think will work well over the kitchen bench, but I'll wait until we have the floors in before making a final decision.
Also the temporary fence has been taken down, so we can now properly see the facade from the street.

Landscaping ideas
OK, now that handover is so close, it's time for us to start making plans for the garden. Of course, this is something we've been talking about since the beginning, but I want to start writing it all down.
So, first decision we made is that we will try to do as much as possible ourselves (except maybe the odd fence and retaining wall).
The second decision, made very shortly after I realised just how much we need to do, was that we needed to break it down into small sections, and work on one at a time. We don't expect to do it all in a month, or even in a year. But we can continue with the overall planning as we go.
Here's an overview of our plan so far (thanks to nearmap for the overhead shot, taken on the 12th April)
Section 1 is easy - Simonds will be paving the driveway.
Section 2 we want to be a bird attracting native garden.
- hardenbergia to grow up the 2 brick columns supporting our balcony
- hops to grow as a screen beneath the balcony in summer, and cut back in winter to let sun in and be made into aromatic beers.
- other natives such as a flowering red gum, and a few grevilleas
Section 2 & 3 will be separated by a path up to the front door.
- we will plant fragrant flowering bushes such as lavendar, rosemary, gardenias, and wax flowers as a border along the path
- we have two dwarf apple trees currently in pots that we will plant between the path and the fence line. We had a good crop of apples from them this year, but I think we will add to these with some different varieties to extend our apple season.
Section 4 will get a lot of shade, so we're looking at putting our pond here if we can fit it, with a few ferns and other plants that like shade. We also want to enclose this area with netting so it can become an enclosure for our two indoor cats to enjoy.
Not 100% sure what we're doing with section 5. We will install a water tank along the southeast wall, and initially we'll just leave it as an access to get equipment into the back yard.
Section 6 will need a bit of a retaining wall on the west side, and this is also directly outside the kitchen, so we might try some planters with herbs that can be picked through the kitchen window.
On the east side we will level out a section to use as an outdoor entertaining area. We may deck or pave this eventually, but initially we'll probably just cover the area with some nice redgum wood chip.
Section 7 will be our vegie patches and chickens. We plan to build the vegie patches the same size as the chicken enclosure so that we can rotate it around the beds and feed back into the soil.
Section 8 will be grassed, with more fruit trees scattered throughout. The grapfruit tree is already there, circled in blue. We also have a lemon and lime tree ready to plant.
We also need to fit a clothes line in somewhere.
Of course this is only the plan at the moment. Once we move in and see where the sun goes, we might move some things around, particularly out the back.

Home Stretch
After failing to get any information via email, we organised a site meeting on Friday morning. As we arrived, a couple of guys were getting ready to do the caulking in the wet areas. Apart from that, there had been some progress during the week, but mostly just finishing touches to various things. The biggest change was that the house had been cleaned! All the blue plastic had been removed from the windows, and everything looked shiny.
The best news was that they have booked in their QA inspection for 5th June. Assuming nothing major is picked up, our PCI, or final inspection, can be booked in after that, and (again assuming all goes well), settlement is usually a week after PCI. So, we're looking at handover at around about the 15th June. Yay!!!

Getting closer
There has been good progress in the house, with our 'to do' list shrinking rapidly. (Although our 'to be fixed' list is growing).
Electrical and plumbing fitouts have been done - this includes lights, power data and tv points, sinks, toilets, taps and showerheads. Only slight problem is they've put a few downlights in the wrong location - we will have 3 batten lights over the kitchen bench so we can put pendants in, and the downlights they have put there should be in the row between the two benches. Should be an easy fix, as they haven't put any holes where they shouldn't, but another thing to add to the list. Sigh.
And finally, they've started on some of the fix items. The ensuite door has been put on the correct side, although they still need to reset the frame and paint. The missing overhead cupboard doors have been installed. One of the downpipes that was not connected has been redirected to flow into the storm water, and the downpipes have been partially painted.
Overall I'm very happy with progress, as every time we visit (which is usually twice a week), multiple items have been ticked off.

Tiling
We managed to get in for a sneaky look at the tiling, which appears to be complete, although it needs a good clean. I'm really happy with how the colour scheme has come out. We reversed the colours in the central shower, as I thought it would be a bit too dark in there with the charcoal coloured tiles. The dark stone niche is a bit darker than I expected, but I'm hoping it will lighten up a bit once the grout has been cleaned off.

May day
We've reached May, and it's getting really hard to get pictures in decent light as we head towards winter (apart from weekends). End of May was my estimate of completion at the start of the year, and although April progress was a lot slower than I'd hoped, things are picking up, and they could be very close to finishing in a few weeks. Here are some pictures of recent progress:

Tick, Tock
It's been a while since I last posted - mostly because there really wasn't very much to tell. We are just past the half way mark of the contract, so I'm trying to be patient. Although things seem to be moving slowly, they are well ahead of schedule. I'm still estimating end of May as a completion date, although handover will probably be in June.
The entry plaster, architraves and skirting seemed to take a very long time to be finished. First they were supposed to be done before easter, then while we were meeting with the SS on the 12th, we were assured they were being finished that day. Perhaps they'd be done when we had a look on the 18th? Sorry, NO.
I think they might be done now, but on the weekend all the windows and doors were covered to protect them from the painting, so we couldn't see in very much.
So what has been done in the last three weeks? A few bits and pieces:
- down pipes connected to the drains (mostly)
- wet area waterproofing in preparation for tiling
- painting preparation (filling holes etc)
- one day of painting...
- some brick edging has been removed around the kitchen window (I think the window height has been adjusted after the kitchen bench went in)
And that's about it. We also nearly had our first big building issue. Our neighbour raised the question that the garage gutter looks like it overhangs their property. This goes back to when the slab was laid and we were expecting a 200mm offset from the fence. It turns out that the fence is actually on our property, and the slab was laid 200mm from the property boundary, which just happens to put the slab right on the fence line. But the builder couldn't provide any documentation to show this.
To cut a long story short, we found the boundary pegs and ran a string line and did a lot of measuring, and the neighbour is satisfied that it's all good. So crisis averted.

Cabinets
We got the fixing stage invoice on Friday, so when we went to the house today (Saturday) we found a couple of chippies working trying to actually finish the fixing stage. I think they need to work on their invoicing process a bit. Getting an invoice before the stage is complete, and then ignoring the public holidays and only allowing 4 business days is just bad customer relations, even if they're not going to enforce it. After all, I don't think they'll be working on easter monday to receive the funds on the due date!
Anyway, the entry still needs insulation, plaster and architraves, and skirting needs to go on throughout the house before the stage is complete. Even if they get that done in the next couple of days, and we approve the invoice, they'll be getting their money a few days late.
We had a bit of a look around, but didn't stay too long and didn't take too many photos because we didn't want to get in the way, but kitchen and bathroom cabinets are in, and all the upstairs doors - although one had been installed the wrong way. Downstairs doors are being installed as I type, including our front door, so it looks like we might actually be locked up as of today (about a month after we received that invoice...).

Marching on
The second half of March has seen continual (if somewhat slow) progress. Each time I visited there were small changes, without anything for me to get very excited about. But it looks like things have turned around, and we might get to the final stage before Easter.
Roof tiles finally on...
... stairs installed (no more ladder!) ...
... kitchen and bathroom cabinets delivered...
... and internal doors and skirting ready for installation.

Plastered
Well, it's been a slow couple of weeks, but progress is picking up again.
The scaffolding has come down...
...and plaster has gone in, including the ceiling of the entry, which has no roof tiles. I really hope it doesn't rain in the next few days until the tilers come!
The upstairs in particular looks very different, as there are a lot more internal walls being closed off.
The scaffolding coming down was a major hurdle, so I'm looking forward to lots of things happening this week.

External Painting
There has been a bit of rain over the last week or so that has slowed down progress just a little bit. Of course it's nothing compared to the floods in NSW and northern Victoria, but it was enough to delay the painters. The end of this week has cleared up, and the final bit of painting was being done while we visited this morning. In the big mass of decisions that happens at colour selection, we passed over these fairly quickly, and I had no idea how it would look. Now with the result, I am absolutely delighted.
In these pics the triangular section above the hip roof is yet to be painted, but will be the same cream with dark blue highlights. The cream is the same colour as our garage door will be, so I can start to see how the whole facade will look. We just need the scaffolding out of the way (booked for wednesday and thursday next week), and the garage roof on (booked for next friday)!
In the meantime we've been correcting a few positioning issues with the cabling and plumbing inside the house, so the delay hasn't been completely wasted. I highly recommend that anyone going through the contract process makes sure that the heights of everything is explicity specified, as there is no side elevation of electrical positioning. Don't assume that something is obvious, because if it's not in the contract, it's not their responsibility to do it that way. For us, we missed specifying the location of the speaker cable - we have free standing speakers, so wanted the cable to run to the floor. The electrician assumed we were installing speakers in the ceiling. End result - our cable doesn't run where we said we wanted it, but it's 'correct' according to the plans, so they won't change it. Oh well, you live and learn. As my other half said, at least we didn't end up with power points in the ceiling...

Internals started
We still haven't quite reached lockup, but with a roof over most of the house, work has continued rapidly on the inside.
On the outside, we have had eaves installed, cladding fixed to the front of the house and the top metre or so of drainpipes. All of these still need painting before the scaffold can come down and we can get the final bit of roofing done.
On the inside, we've had heating and cooling installed, solar panel fixed, cabling and plumbing done, and insulation in the roof and most walls. The bath and shower bases have also been delivered and set in place, and the frame for the cavity sliding door has been installed.
