Patience wearing thin...

It's been a week since our last update... why you might ask? Well it's because nothing has been done since. It seems that we're back to the cycle of 2-3 days of trades everywhere and then no progress for a week or so.

Even though we have a PCI date, it's extremely frustrating to watch the house just sit there especially when we are paying rent and 90% of our mortgage.

We do understand that our SS is busy and he has been fantastic so far so we haven't contacted him or pushed him. Having said that PD need to get there act together and stop overloading there staff.

Speaking of PD staff. We have had serious communication issues with our BC. We have been trying to get a BV raised for close to two months now and sent multiple emails without any responses. Last week I called her and she promised she would raise the BV ASAP and send out the confirmation letter of our PCI and settlement dates. Another week has gone past and nothing...

So that's pretty much how we are feeling right now... and I think this is common from other builds I have followed.

Let's hope there are no more delays!

The count-up begins!

We have officially gone over the promised completion date set-out in the contract. So we decided to set-up a timer to see how many days over the contract we will go...

As for progress on the house, not much has happened really. Door handles fitted, tiling commenced and window angles installed. That's pretty much over a two week period. Kind of disappointing really but to be fair our SS has been away all this week.

We're being told to expect hand over 3rd or 4th week of August but we're not holding our breaths. The annoying part is it's hard to give notice to our real estate for the current property. We might just have to bite the bullet...

Some photos from this week. House has been locked up so didn't get any photos of inside.

Bricking - So close!

Our bricking was due to be completed on Wednesday but I assume the weather has delayed it a little. 

Took some photos this morning. Still some bricking to be done to the back right hand side, alfresco pillar and windows. 

Can't wait to see it all done!
