Good news, referral rebates are $2500, not $1k, so I only need 328 people to sign up 😂 Received final inv inc the liquidated damages and referral rebates and today we had roofer on site so hopefully they've fixed what our inspector found.

We have enough, hoping for something nice for 2025

The credit card is already crying. Handover booked for Fri 10th and we're going in no matter what 🤣

Hubby actually isnt a fan but agreed the bathrooms needed shutters. They will also be split so upper half and lower half can be opened differently when closed

We did get a larger basin though. The mirror cabinet is twice the size of our old one and has a power point inside for toothbrushes. Shutters will hide mum in laws house 1713569076 Not yet, still in box like everything else I bought. We went to Bing Lee yesterday to make final decisions...

Our sales rep designed a magazine worthy bathroom. Double shower, double basin, full ledge shelf ect. Broken her heart when we said we wanted a corner spa bath so it's single shower and single basin as I wanted more bench space. Mr Denali really looking forward to the bath now as he enjoys ice...

When my brother bought his first house, it was a two bedroom fibro and prev owners were two adults and four kids. Kids accepted less back then. A display home we looked at had five bedrooms, each having its own ensuite. Crazy. I didn't even want two basins in our ensuite as I don't need to...

We had a 3hr practical completion walk through and I was exhausted after. We went through every wall, room ect, talking and asking questions and blue taping anything that needs rectification. Thankfully most of it is paint related with only a few small things, like changing the ensuite vanity...

5.30am this morning, tradies showing up. So far we had builder warranty guy, cleaners, again, sparky and Const manager just arrived. We go in at 8am and our private inspector booked for Monday.

Oh and I know our situation isnt the norm but the cleaners didnt know the code to unlock the gate lock and didnt have a key to go inside. We, being noisey and pushy, well me being pushy, have the code and key. Wonder what would have happened if we werent here? Being from an industrious nation...

God, no. It's on my 'please don't make me go there' list 🤣

Looking forward to it! We go Tuesday

In the US, always and every day. I also have a "with thanks" small/business size card with our first names on it and I found we tend to get a extra free bottle/s of water or extra toiletries or pillow choc. In other countries, depends on where we are, I leave a larger tip on the last day.

Every time I hear about people being left behind on a cruise, I think of the Pier Runner song 🤣

We've been handed over from Site Supervisor to Construction Manager and still aiming for April 19th for PCI. Once we hit PCI, I have my inspector come in and hopefully by that point he'll only find small things, if any.... then its hand over. Only issue is we have city hotel bookings for April...

Checked out from the Sofitel and a sneaky take away at Sydney seafood markets before we head back over the bridge and back to the burbs

My husband found the Nutella breakfast bar at our hotel this morning. Aka, What I ate today...... diabetes. There's also options like strawberry and maple syrup, melted choc and lollies to decorate

Sydney seafood markets for lunch and The Boatshed, hubby went with the sashimi platter and octopus and the prawn linguini for me as I wasn't impressed with the fish and chips last time we were here but the maître d here is so incredibly friendly and nice.

Sofitel Darling Harbour, Atelier Scallops with a cauliflower puree Butternut squash soup, restaurant photo as I wasn't fast enough Main, duck breast with crispy skin was lovely. I was sad there was no pork on the menu but this made up for it Hubby's steak Hubby couldn't decide...
