Moved In

We moved in on Saturday the 25th of June - one day after handover. Fortunately we were able to find removalists who were available on short notice. In addition to unpacking and readying the unit we were renting in Bentleigh East for handback to the landlord, we have been engaged in a range of activities associated with making the new house liveable. All those things which were going to be more cost-effective after handover now needed to be done.

This included : adopting a kitten, selecting and hanging curtains, hanging mirrors and pictures, installing additional towel rails, fixing a bathroom cabinet to the wall, arranging for the installation of dishwasher, a tv antenna, a fixed internet connection, a letterbox, 3 x split systems for the bedrooms and the construction of a wooden deck for the Alfresco area. The major outstanding item is the landscaping.

Handover !

Handover took place on Friday June 24. In the interim, we received the Occupancy Permit, arranged for insurance on the house, and received the final payment bank cheque. The main defect identified at final inspection was that the tiles did not line up with the transom at the front entrance. See picture below. This and other defects were fixed in the week prior to handover.
