Feature walls were painted over the weekend. The colour didn't turn out the way we wanted, way too light & almost can't be seen as feature walls, might have to repaint it ourselves after hand over.
I emailed the SS yesterday asking him whether we are still on schedule to have the hand over on Wednesday. Received his reply this morning & he said that everything will be rectified by Wednesday & we'll have a hand over on Wednesday.

Day 142: Hand Over Day - Delayed
Hand Over is supposed to be today but it has been delayed because PD cannot rectify everything that were listed in PCI & Independent Report. Hand Over will now be on Wednesday, 22 Dec. They can't delay it again this time because if they do then they'll be responsible for the house during the holiday period & it seems that they are trying hard for that not to happen.

Day 139: Garage Door
Garage door was installed today.
Nothing else been done to rectify the PCI, makes me wonder whether we'll on schedule for the hand over on Thursday.
Floor Board was installed last Friday

Day 139: Floor Board Installed & Hand Over is scheduled for Thursday
Floating Floor Board was installed last Friday,unfortunately we cannot get in to take photos of it.
Hand Over is scheduled for this Thursday morning. I've informed the bank last week & they are going to get their valuation done early this week. Hopefully they have enough time to process the bank cheque & send it to us from Sydney. Unfortunately our bank doesn't have a branch in Melbourne & they are pretty slow in the first place when it comes to home loan.

Day 135: Pre Hand Over Inspection & PCI
Had our Pre Hand Over Inspection at noon today & everything went well. No major problems & nothing that can't be fixed within few days. Will get the report tonight.
Then later on in the afternoon, we had our PCI. Lotsa paint touch up to be made, I won't even bother with 75% of it but the SS put the dots everywhere & wanted to make sure they are fixed. Other things to be rectified are:
Chip to Pot Drawer
Rangehood not level
Window glazing is short to the dining room window
Bathroom window rubber is coming off
Toilet is not working properly - can't refill the empty tank.
Overall I think the quality is pretty good.
Hand over is scheduled for Thursday next week. Hopefully the bank will be able to issue the cheque in time.

Day 131: PCI & Hand Over Dates
Got an email late Friday afternoon from the CSC informing us that PCI will be next Thursday & Hand Over will be Thursday Week.
Will have to contact New Home Inspections tomorrow to find out whether they can make it on Thursday.
The only thing outstanding now is the floating floor board.
A car must have driven across the footpath & hit the down pipe. Broken glass is laying next to the down pipe. Emailed my SS & CSC to inform them of this. Might the the electrician that has done it, they were the only one onsite on Friday.

Day 127: Still Waiting
Floating Floor Board is yet to be done. SS told me it would be done by Monday this week, but it is still not done yet.
They have fixed the down pipes. They replaced the one above the meter box so that the spout aligned correctly to the down pipe.
They are still to do the electrical for the theatre room & living room.
Not long to go now, only 2 weeks to go before the 140 building days is up. We've received the final invoice & was told that the SS & CSC will contact us re PCI. Will get the building inspector to go through the house as soon as the floating floor board is installed.
Fencing will be done in early January & Driveway will be done in mid January. Can't do it before Christmas, everyone is busy in December.
