Happy New Year

We have not dropped off the face of the earth, just nothing has really happened at the house since early December - until we finally received our PCI date 8th January 2013.
Visiting the house regularly over the Christmas/New Years period we were able to compile a list of things we wanted to 'discuss' with our SS and thanks to the cleaners who left the door unlocked for us we were able to have a thorough look through the house.  All items on our list are minor and hopefully easily fixed.  I will comment on this in another post.

On another note we have completed one part of our side fence.

Hiring a '2 man' post hole digger made it slightly easier but when that fails the good old shovel and crowbar  came in handy.

 After a few bruises and little bit of sunburn the poles where in place.

Returning the next day we continued with the rails.  This required a lot of patience as Daniel is very particular about things being straight. 

Nice and straight.

115 palings later and we have a new fence.

PCI update

We met our SS at the house this afternoon and had a quick tour through the house.  He informed us that our glass splashback is expected any day, the cleaners are booked in for Tuesday with the floor and carpet to start on Wednesday.  His boss will go through the house the following Tuesday and then we will be able to get a PCI date.  He was really honest and admitted that we will possibly will not be in before next year - the house will be fully completed but with Metricon shutting down for Christmas mid December, he could not guarantee that all the paperwork would be completed to submit to the bank in time. 
Oh well...it is out of our hands.
