Certification

Anyway the private certifier finally walked through the house on Monday and was happy to grant an interim occupancy certificate, so we should be in very soon. The only thing we need is our perimeter fence to go up so that no one accidently falls off our site.

On the inside we have walked through the house without the builder and have started to make a list of defects – most of which are minor. The only major defect at this point in time that we can see is that the ensuite toilet is leaking from the in wall cistern into the toilet bowl continuously and at a rate of an open tap so we have had to turn the water off for this toilet. Hopefully a plumber will be out shortly to rectify this.

We finally have a tiled pathway to our front door! Hip Hip Horray

The renderers are back today to commence work on the perimeter walls. Apparently they have 3 - 4 days worth of work but the forecast is for a week of rain! Just our luck. 

 
At the same time we have found ourselves a local landscaper “Mike’s Property Solutions” to build our planter “Heron” block walls and lay our turf for us. We have agreed to have him start late March once the fence has been done and the site has been cleared of rubbish.
