TomCat's new digs!

[blackcat20]

You can get a cage that locks over the handle, as I'm not sure ours can be removed (it's not the usual t bar style).

Should do the job anyway.

Do you have fixed site costs for your excavation and concrete? Just got our invoice in and another $6k unfortunately! A mix of extra concrete, sand and excavation as well as removing some old stuff the demo contractor left behind.

At our Melbourne business premises we found next doors gardener was using our garden tap to water their garden. We fixed it with a style of tap that he would not be able to use. Problem solved on why our water use had risen. We checked everything inside and then realized nothing was leaking.

That is damn cheeky.

Yes

We made sure our site costs were fixed, so no extra costs for rock etc. I know others in our estate had issues where their block was where the previous wind break was, lots of tree roots etc. Our seems to be standard soil, no hidden nasties.

I started painting today. The start of 12 months preparation for sale

Know that feeling well, that's what we have decided as well. A little behind you on the painting though.

Now the 12th is tomorrow @blackcat20. Do you think you'll get that final sign-off?

I blame TomKat for this. I keep thinking of them as I go off buying paint, taps, tiles and so on. We also have to rebuild carport and cover, crack work inside, currently upgrading the laundry myself, dig up a concrete verandah (not me), repaint ground story (not me), replace flooring in at least 3 rooms and knocking down an interror wall.

Wonder if TomKats house will be done first. My aim is done by end October.

 

[blackcat20]

Hopefully we’re in by October.

Third times the charm with Kmart, found a store with tonnes of sheets, baskets everywhere for customer use and checkouts by the exit.

Happy Friday!

Who's to say Friday 13th is unlucky - not for you and @TomVexille.

Fantastic news. I was a bit scared to pop in and check.

I am off to talk to support about getting a bigger 'like' button installed!

And guess what. Just had an email to say we're ready to go to the construction team once we sign the last variation. Turns out they want to bill us for the basic aircon unit that we had removed eight months ago. Someone can't do their math. So theyre getting that fixed, we get it signed and then we get handed over hopefully by 5pm.

 

[blackcat20]

We've been handed over with a bit to say that the last bit of paperwork is coming Monday they now have three weeks to start the build .

 

[blackcat20]

No more free water for the lazy builders opposite.

 

[blackcat20]

Paperwork to fix up the aircon mess is signed off so we're good to go!
