Finally moved in



Well didn't the last bit drag, it took weeks and weeks from the first walk through until the final one, that triple slider door that was not level had to have bricks removed and jacked up at either end before it finally sat level when open and closed. We go the keys finally on the 19th September and the yard was well an truly complete.
Just found out our SS was "let go" this week, shame...I really liked him, he was great at ignoring all the access to the house and yard we had, I am unhappy with the final finish, some of the brick work ie chipped bricks used under windows, and sloppy paint work spoil...but it's cosmetic. The house is cool and very comfortable to live in. There are a few things I'd do differently, like really pay attention to where the light switches are, for a right handed person to have them on the left feels weird, the gas bayonet in the alfresco is useless, too close to the house and don't want to get my roof smokey, internal gas point should of been on an external wall because I'd of liked a flued gas heater, and TV/antenna points were too low for wall mounted TV's...and finally my cutlery draw is too far away and should of been closer to the oven. All minor though, and just really grateful nothing really major occurred.
 Since we moved in the pump on the water tank ceased to work, well no one told us if the tank got too empty it would stop working. The microwave oven broke and is getting fixed tomorrow. We wanted to add extra solar panels and found out we had to go through the original company, which turned out to not be a problem, installed within two weeks and upgraded the inverta as well. I still have no idea who is allocated to us for the 13 week maintenance, only some peeling paintwork to be addressed, rest has been attended straight away : )
