Almost there! Defects and Final Touches

We are getting very close to finishing now, we have the practical completion inspection on 31 July 2015 and the current handover date is scheduled for 14 August 2015.

I will be overseas on 14 August 2015, so if that date is accurate, Justin will have to handle the move without me - sorry!  The rangehood is in, but not the oven, which is weird.

The carpets are in, which was the last major step to completing the interior.

The exterior - can't wait for the plantation shutters to go in the front windows!




The garage


The front entrance and formal lounge room


The front / formal lounge room


The entrance hall and staircase, with built in cupboard under the stairs


The laundry


The downstairs bathroom


The staircase 


The downstairs study, with double doors installed. NB: the light switch for the study ended up behind one of the doors, which is actually quite annoying, don't make that mistake on your electrical plans.


The kitchen - you can see all the little blue stickers of painting and other defects that have been picked up by Metricon and will be remedied prior to handover. They are everywhere!



The view from the kitchen through the triple-stacker doors.  The pool will be going in with semi-frameless glass fencing.  This whole backyard area will be concreted with the pool and a sitting / BBQ area.


The kitchen looking over the dining area and into the informal living area.


The butler's pantry, this is all we have installed at the present time. A fitout of shelving and drawers has been selected from Ikea and will be installed after handover.


The staircase from upstairs with the big feature light.


Bedroom 2 


Bedroom 3 


Bedroom 4


The upstairs toilet.

The master bedroom.

The ensuite




The room that will eventually be the dressing room. We have used the amazing online planner with Ikea You can select your room dimensions and fill it with cupboards, drawers, shelves and hangers etc and then generate a print-out of all the items you need to fill the order.  They will come out and install it all for you! Can't wait for the fitout to be done and I can post some pictures of how this room turned out.  We took a risk in taking the 5th bedroom and turning it into the dressing room for the master bedroom, so hope we do the space justice!
