Handover

With all the drama regarding the lot consolidation, we figured it was best to obtain a bank cheque out of our own pocket to get the handover completed with keys. Hopefully the bank will reimburse the amount when the lots are consolidated and the occupancy certificate issued.

Cedar board stained

Appliances installed

Rangehood, cooktop and oven

I find it strange that the rangehood column was done in two pieces. However the site supervisor had already left before the electrician came to install the appliances. Will mention it in the rectification work list after the warranty period (3 months) has lapsed. Most likely knocked back since it's not a defect.

Microwave

Dishwasher

I don't really see the point of installing the dishwasher at this stage. When the flooring gets installed, it will have to come out and re-installed again. 

AC controller

AC Unit

They somehow managed to forget about the extra AC controller that was meant to be in the master bedroom. On top of this the AC unit is the wrong model, we were supposed to be upgraded to the 160 model but the one here is the 140 model. At least it hasn't been bolted to the concrete yet, that should make it easier to switch out. 

Hot water tank

The solar hot water tank was installed after the appliances. you can see the green LED light blinking that indicates whether the solar or electric boost was on.

Also noticed that I've yet to put up any pictures of the wet areas with the mirrors installed. So here they are...

Powder Room

Main Bathroom - Vanity

Main Bathroom - Shower

Main Bathroom - Bath

This was the troublesome mixer tap that had to be raised to clear the bath rims. Turns out it only required another 5mm or so.

Ensuite - Vanity

Ensuite - Bath

Ensuite - Shower

Wasn't really happy with how the shower screen turned out. The top portion hardly covers the shower area, but there were no dimensions in the plans or contract so I think I just have to accept it as it is. At least the extra tiles (up to the cornice) was added free of charge. Might try and remove the shelving in the corner, it looks out of place and with the large niche, it becomes necessary anyway. 

Lots of things to do before it's all done and dusted...
