We are in the last few weeks of the build. Only 9 sleeps until our final walkthrough! The walls are painted, bathrooms fitted out, final fittings almost done (which all takes a lot longer than you would think!) and the house is coming together. Its fantastic to see all our choices coming together and it all seems to work thank goodness.
We keep trying to label what style we are trying to go for. Sophisticated beachy with a bit of industrial country? Maybe when all our belongings are in one place (for the first time in 16yrs together) we can figure out what works for us and this house! Bring on the enourmous garage sale!!
All of the house will be done except final light fittings and flooring by handover and then we will schedule the flooring in and electrical (a good friend of ours!) asap.
We are starting to get driveway quotes and yet again have to apply to council to get a tree removed and some drainage sorted so we can get a turning circle in the driveway. Nothing is quick and easy and simple but we will get there. Darren is getting really good at talking to councils now so feel confident we will get what we want!
Here are pictures of lots of grey and white.....

Fingers crossed we don't have too much to be completed and fixed on our final walkthrough so we can move in!!!
Hopefully pictures of a bunch of keys coming soon!
Wow those bifold doors and your entrance look amazing!!! The grey and white colour scheme has really come out beautifully. Looks like you will be moving in soon.
ReplyDeleteEagerly awaiting to see the final pictures.!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! We get the keys in the next couple of weeks then flooring install then we are in! Cannot wait! Will put pics on as soon as we can. How's your build going?
DeleteWow it all looks so amazing. You did such an amazing job, especially on the kitchen and also like choice of Kitchen Benchtops.
ReplyDeleteHow did the final walk through go? We are having ours next week and we are so impatient to get the keys already. Apparently it can take up to 3 weeks from the final walk through to get the keys, battling to figure out why their quality and assurance period takes that long?
ReplyDeleteHopefully you get your keys soon and start on flooring asap.
I was in exactly the same position I was so frustrated by what seemed to be 3 weeks to fix their mistakes. Our walk through went well and not much was noted apart from painting and a few touch ups and it's taken 3 weeks! I've been up there evey day and have seen someone on site pretty much every day so At least stuff is being done and I'm hoping less problems once we move in. We get our keys tomorrow and flooring starts straight away. I'm feeling really pleased with the house that we are going to get so hopefully still feel that way by the end of the week! I'll put some photos on when the flooring is done. Hope yours goes smoothly too!
DeleteDreamhome1 have you got a blog or feed with pictures? I'm really interested to see how others have finished the Montgomery design.
DeleteHi Rebecca, hope you finally got the keys! ! ! !
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I don't have a blog but I could email you some of our latest pics. Our final walk through has come and gone and we also had a lot of paintwork issues mostly and a few scratches on our kitchen cupboards which will need to be replaced.
Hope your moving in goes smoothly :)
