You guessed it - 1 more sleep

1 more sleep, not that I have been sleeping at all, I'm exhausted but I just can't stop thinking of what next!!!  

Tomorrow is all about enjoying the moment, getting our keys and realising its our house!

The tiler will be there and our excavator just rang to say a job has been cancelled and he will be there to dig out the driveway and it will be formed up on Friday, everything is going like clock work. 

So excited!!!!

2 more sleeps!!!!

Today the bank did their inspection which was a huge relief, we put in our final payment last Thursday after PCI, I felt a huge flood of relief that everything was going to plan until 4pm I get a call from the bank to say our insurance paperwork had the wrong date on it!!!!!  Aarrrhhhh panic stations, so I called the insurance company who said they couldn't change it they would have to cancel the policy with a full refund (7-10 days mind you) and she couldn't do the new one over the phone because it would cost more so I have to go online and start from scratch!!  By this time I'm an absolute mess because now my husband has to drive to Gosford to pick up the cheque for final payment because the direct bank transfer can take up to 48hrs.  nothing can go wrong on handover day that would be the end of my nerves ha ha.  So it's all done, my husband redid the policy tonight he will send it tomorrow, go and pick up the cheque and we will be all relaxed for Thursday!!!!!!!

We had our floor tiles delivered this afternoon 3 pallets of tiles and glue, we were going to pick them up but so glad we didn't it would of been a disaster.  

3 more sleeps!!!!

3 more sleeps there is nothing more to say!!!!! 

PCI

We had PCI today it went very well.  We were there for 2 hours, we finally got to meet our SS in person, nice guy and very helpful and patient.  

There isn't too much to do and certainly nothing major, a bit of painting touch ups, 2 striker plates to be replaced the painters take them off to paint and mustn't of put them back on, a few scratches on the Essastone but apparently it can be polished out. 

I'm so excited now and really nervous at the same time, I asked my husband this morning will I go back to normal once we move and he answered I certainly hope so although I forget what normal is now he he!!!!!  

I didn't take any pictures if you can believe that, by the time we did the inside and outside I was all dizzy from looking up.  Our house is beautiful, we are extremely happy with MJH they have down an outstanding job as well as their customer service, I couldn't recommend them highly enough.  

Now we wait for the bank to do their inspection and pay the final $$$$ and the house is all ours.  Then the real fun begins...................

Driveways

Decking

Grass

Trees

& furnitures shopping of course 

Fun fun fun........

Busy busy

Another busy day today, firstly we went to the house at  7.30 am to meet a friend he is going to give us a quote for the decking and he's roped my husband in to be his offsider (lackey) to cut costs ha ha.  My husband was determined to do the decking himself and I'm determined to pay someone, I'm winning so far!!!!!

After a little housework and breakfast we took off to Penrith Harvey Norman, it's not our local but service is really good from past experience to have another go at buying a TV and surround sound.  I happened to remember last time we went we dropped into Beacon so I dragged him back there and they printed off the quote we got months ago and the girl went and got the fan we wanted and put it in the counter, ha ha I said to my hubby guess we are buying it today!!!! Turned out good we needed a push we need to stop putting things off.  We ended up with a Fanaway Fan, a stainless steel fan for under the alfresco and 30 LEDdown-lights, that should start us off.  We looked at spotlights for the 2 back lights but the nice ones are for wall mounting and our lights are eave mounted, I wish I had picked up on that when we did our electrical appointment.  Back to the TV, we had a great salesman who was awesome and knew his stuff, he spent an hour with us and explained all our options and worked within our budget, so I'm pretty sure it's all sorted now.

We spent the arvo packing and sorting the spare room, tomorrow will be our wardrobe and the bottom kitchen cupboards then we should be 80% packed with only the necessities out. 

Our bunnies lost last night they didn't play well, there's always next week :)

14 Days to go

We are still on schedule 14 days to go............ I'm nearly jumping out of my skin in excitement.  

Today we met the excavator man at the house, it's the first time I've been since last Friday, can you believe it?  Longest I have been away since we brought the land :). So we had a chat about the town because he is a local and then our old SS stopped and had a chat too.  We managed to talk about what we were having done for the driveway and then I showed him around the block where the cut was done and he said "easy" we will just do this this and this, it will look great no worries!!!! Well that was it he got the job on the spot, I've been worried what we were going to do and now I don't have to.  He's going to remove all the saplings and the tree on the council strip.  It will be relocated which was a huge relief it's smack bang in the middle of our driveway and we were going on Saturday to dig a new hole and replant it, it would of taken us ages..  

Our screens were put on as well, they look nice except the huge ones on the front windows don't have clips in the middle so they will rattle in the wind, I will ask for them to be fitted a bit better I think.  The screen doors on the stackers are really nice, I was surprised how well made they are and they even have locks, I wasn't expecting that just a fly screen. Anyways I recommend getting them done through MJH saves a lot of trouble and the price was comparable with doing it private especially the stacker door ones. 

We got our quotes for the fencing back itemised for each neighbour so I have sent them off.  Our removalist needs to move us a day before we planned so i hope our tiler has finished by then.  I have booked in the blinds to be installed the day we move in at 10am, not sure if that was a smart idea or not! 

It will be another weekend of packing and we need to go and get our TV and surround sound, feels like we have been looking for ever for these and that's probably because we have. It's essential to get a new TV to watch our mighty rabbitohs play in the grand final....... Go the bunnies!!!!!!!

Only 3 more weeks to wait

I got a call from our SS yesterday, 3 weeks till handover!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He spent 3 1/2 hrs on Thursday marking up the house for touchups then his boss comes to do a inspection as well on Monday then they book in the plasterers and painter to come back. Only thing they still waiting for is the screens I think then the hot water and appliances go in later. We are really happy with this SS he is really on the ball.

Our fence came down as well and now you can really see how big the block is, love it!! 

Our house!!!

Look at the room on this side 11m from fence to house

Love our huge stacker doors 

We are still waiting on quotes from the concreter, fencer and a kitchen place for our built in desks and shelving. I hate waiting for quotes, if they take longer than a week they don't get the job I move on to someone else, patience isn't my strongest point ha ha. 

So with us not moving for a few more weeks gives the blinds company enough time to make our blinds and they should be installed right on handover. We will try to have the tiles delivered on handover day too so the tiler can start the next day, hubby is moving in then too, I suppose I will have to send him down a bed and some food he he!!!!!

With all this excitement comes packing. OMG it just doesn't stop, who knew we had so much stuff..  Having the day off tomorrow because guess what?  It's Father's Day!  And my husband has only reminded me a million times today, so tomorrow is all about him (something unusual) :). Not!
