We've got our Practical Completion Inspection and Handover dates. PCI currently scheduled for 22/1/2015 and Handover 29/1/2015. Yes that's this coming week. As we are getting an independent inspector for our final stage our site supervisor has advised us that this needs to be scheduled prior to our PCI date as we will need to bring the inspection report with us on PCI.
Today the painters were doing their final touch ups before the cleaners come in to polish off the place in preparation for PCI. I'm no expert but there still seems like a fair bit of work to do...cracked window needs to be replaced, downpipes need to be installed, exterior moldings need to be painted, grout in bathrooms looked incomplete, electrician needs to come back and finish off work. I'm sure it's achievable if this project was called 'The Block' and trades go go go but we're not so I just don't see how we are going to hit these dates which is why I'm not getting too excited as I don't want to get my hopes up.
We also got a quote for our concreting a exposed aggregate driveway and a 1 meter path of plain concrete around our house.
Quote came in at $11600
I have no words but to
It's probably a reasonable quote, I don't know. I 'll need to get one more to be sure but just the thought of all our upcoming expenses is already killing me. I had to know this was coming though. *sigh*
Floor layers have been booked in to come in the week after handover so I expect to be moving in on the second week of Feb. Time for me to pack pack pack.
