Handover!

Drum roll... I now present to you the final completion of the brand new Porter Davis Marriot!

Practical Completion Inspection

I'm happy to report that our PCI went very smoothly.  We went through the house on Friday for about two hours and everything we spotted was agreed to be fixed. Porter Davis was also happy for essentially a second PCI to be done on the following Tuesday 27th as that was the earliest time I could book my independent building inspectors. This time, I chose Darbecca  and of the three that I have used now, Darbecca was by far the best to work with.  Anyway, without further ado, here's a list of my PCI issues: 1. Kitchen taps were not connected and the cabinetry holes should be filled.  

PCI Checklist

My Practical Completion Inspection is on in about 12 hours time! Here's a comprehensive checklist I've copied from the Homeone forums. 

Cedar Plank Palandri Carpets Laid

Carpets were laid just before Christmas except for the master bedroom which was getting its squeaks fixed .  We picked the Palandri Category 2 carpets in Cedar Plank colour. Nothing too fancy as Category 2 was the included freebie and we didn't want to pay the Porter Davis premium for upgrades. Figured when it's better to let the kids wear out this one and replace it in a few years time at a much cheaper cost per square metre. Here's a roll of carpet. The most excited I've ever been to see a roll of carpet :)

Squeaking Floors Fixed

This is a delayed post. I'm just catching up on some of the updates I was meant to upload but didn't have time to before the mad holiday season.  Here's how my master bedroom floor looked on December 19th. The floor is getting fixed as they were squeaking a bit in this section.
