Post hand over update

Hi All,

We've been extremely busy over the last few weeks with trades coming and going to rectify some of the pending post hand over items we had. We did have some major issues such as no hot water etc... but they have since been rectified. Kudos to our SS for answering my phone calls and emails every day without fail to ensure we we're being looked after.

Few photos to share with everyone.

Main Flooring

We have decided to do our own flooring in all rooms except the wet areas. The main reason is the cost to upgrade flooring with Porter Davis is very high and we do not want to settle for lower quality flooring.

Carpet was an easy choice for us, we went to Western Distributors (Highly recommend this place!) and within half an hour we had picked our carpet.

Tiles on the other hand was a massive PITA. We really couldn't make up our minds and when we did pick one it would end up being out of stock without an ETA on the next batch. We visited the following stores:

• Anytiles
• National Tiles
• Western Distributors 
• Tile Liquidators
• Beaumont Tiles
• Fox Ceramics

 Finally after weeks of searching we managed to make up our mind and decide to go with the Alpine Stone from National tiles. It's a full body porcelain. We put a deposit on it today and they have agreed to hold onto it for us until next year! Woo

Here are some photos of the tile and carpet. It's a very light grey tile, photos are not very accurate.
