We have a date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, that's right folks, we have a date for PCI - 1st December 2011.

We had a meeting with Glen our SS this morning, and we arrived at the house to find that the Garage Doors have been installed - yay!!

Rear garage roller door in Classic Cream

That's the garage light sensor in the corner (so we don't end up in the dark when the door is closed at night!)

This is the front one!!!

We also discovered that the electrical fit-off seems to now be completed apart from the lights/fans etc. that we want done which will be done on hand-over day.

This is the Gangbuster - we could launch a rocket with all these plugs!!

Tastics installed in both bathrooms

But wait, there's more, our heating/cooling was being installed while we were there as well!!

Return air vent

Lots of holes in the ceiling!!

So there's lots happening, which leaves, shower screens, mirrors, caulking, still need to replace that window lock in loo (how long has that been?), install fan in laundry (hmm, he had forgotten about that), complete the outstanding items from 1st inspection (he now knows what I want done, after a perimeter walk around the outside!), painting to gables needs to be finished (not a huge job), the house needs thoroughly cleaning inside, need to fix minor damage to kitchen end bench, and of course the last thing is to sand and stain and polish the timber floors.

With PCI on 1st December, we are planning on handover on Friday 16th December, and will have the big move on Tuesday 20th December.

Stopped for coffee at the big BP on the freeway, and while there organised the carpet & curtain installation for the 19th, flywire screen & security doors for the same day, all while David altered that timeline spreadsheet he's been keeping up to date with.   I also organised Foxtel installation - yes, I know I said we were getting rid of it, but its amazing the deals they will do when you threaten to cut them off!!!  We're getting a free move and a free upgrade to the HD IQ box with free HD for the first month, but I have cut down the package to only the basic plus sport.   At least Megan & I will be able to watch American Idol on Fox 8 again (yay!), although we know some other neighbours who watch it as well, so we may have to rotate houses - what fun that will be!!!  

Whilst on our way from the house to Pakenham where we had to visit the plumber, David missed the turn to Cardinia Road, so we had to continue down the highway instead, and look what we found:

This letterbox is bloody brilliant!! And the best part is, you actually buy it in a raw white state and paint it any colour you like!!!

For $140, its a lot cheaper than a brick one, looks like a brick one, and if we change our mind later, we can always build a brick one then!!

Go Berwick Potteries!!!

After that we ended up at Fountain Gate to organise insurance and the phone for the house.    Lunch was definitely in order.

We left the house at 8.40 and got home at 3.15 - what a wonderful rostered house day off for David, but we were extremely happy with what we achieved.

Now to organise for Kevin from New Home Inspections to be with us on 1st December, let's hope he doesnt find anything too major.

I see a little light flickering in the distance!!!
