Screen and Clean

27.06.09 - The pictures are now getting very scarce because of the house being locked, though the countdown has began for the initial House Inspection on the 7th of July. The clean-up of the House has continued with the internals starting to be cleaned as well.



The Sliding Glass Doors Aluminum Frames have also been completed


The Plastic covers on the windows have been removed, cleaned and the Fly Screens for all Window Openings have also been installed


A couple of things still has not changed which includes the location of the vents in the Family Room, a strange Gap/Hole on Ceiling of the rumpus and the water cistern in the Fridge Space





We've also noticed that there might been a Colour problem on the Front Door, it seems that the Colour right now is quite light in compared to the one we have selected Beige Royal, which is darker in colour

Some paint re-touches are also needed on the wooden beams at the Alfresco ...


The 2 bottom Stair threads also needs to be painted yet ..

Here's hoping and praying that there won't be bigger issues ahead :-(

Taps and Locks ...


20.06.09
- As we visited the house this week, we noticed that the temporary fencing has been removed and the clean-up has begun. As we approached the Front Door, we also noticed that the Locks have been changed.


As we moved at the back, we noticed that the taps on the sink have been installed as well. We are assuming that these have been installed for the rest of the house ...


We've noticed that the Water Cistern for the Fridge space has not been fixed yet :-(


Some things yet to be completed as well, space between the Sliding Glass Doors at the Alfresco ...


Paint Retaching at the Wooden Beams at the Alfresco ...


We saw some interesting things at the ceiling of each room as well though we're still not sure what they were ... it might be a vendor oversight though hopefully it's what we think it is and keeping our finger crossed ;-)


As the locks have been changed, we can not enter the house so the pics are all from outside from now on and less pictures from now on till the initial inspection in 2 weeks time ...

Vents and Balustrade ...


11.06.09 - The weekly pictures are coming in early, as our House Presentation Date was also advised by our Site Supervisor this week, which is exactly 1 month from now. Went to the house right now for the Floating Timber Flooring and Carpet Measurements

We've selected the Carpet called Gridlock Grunge which is of Grayish Colour. We've selected Black Butt for the Flooring on the 1st Floor with the exception on the Theater Room. The following image is what we envision the floor to look like :-)


A close-up on the Balcony Balustrade installed this week.


The Heating and Cooling Vents in the Dining Area


The Heating Vents in the Family which seems to be very near ... (Raised this one with the Site Supervisor and not sure whether there'll be a fix as there are apparently piping problems because of the location of the Spa at the upper floor)


The Thermostat Control was now installed.

The DoorBell with Camera


The Smart Wiring Panel is also now in place in the Garage ...


We've been very busy now scheduling the Settlement Date, Move-in Date as well as preparing the necessities before moving in (Telephone, Curtains, Blinds, etc) and now starting to be stressful :-(

The Tiles at the Balcony



LIGHTS: The lighting fixtures have also been installed across the house.

The Wall Niche with Downlights



The Kitchen with Down Lights (must be something wrong as this was supposed to be batten lights?)


Triangular Cupboard lights in the Kitchen Cupboards ...


The Rumpus Batten Lights (?) - must be something wrong again as this should have been downlights

The Motion Detecting Lights outside the house ... The external and internal outlets are also installed all over the house


ELECTRICALS - The Alarm, Smoke and Intercom Systems have already been installed




Surprisingly, the Garage Door has already been installed as well ...
