After 35+ years of marriage, two wonderful sons, living and working in Australia, Sweden, UK and USA we are now 'just the two of us' plus a very spoilt Shitzu.
Following five years at The Sandhurst Club it is time to downsize. Our criteria - build a new home in a development within ten minutes of John's Sandhurst Golf Club, access to Monash and Eastlink Freeways, all new infrastructure and proposed services, recycled water and no Management Company or Body Corporate Fees.
We invite you to view our journey as we build with Carlisle Homes our 'Savannah 28' at 'The Avenue at Casey', a masterplanned community meeting all our criteria.

PAINTING
Painting crew (2 men and 1 woman) arrived today.
Preparation work in progress - internal doors removed, filling cracks and holes etc...
Also, expansion joints in brickwork filled.
Fantastic. No we didn't get in but I questioned about cleaning - they sweep before painting says the one who speaks english!! I imagine they are a couple of days prep/undercoat, will quiz SS.
Can't wait to see what "Beige Royal 1/4" looks like. There's probably still time for me to change my mind on that too!!! (I'm gunna be single if I don't stop wanting to change everything)
Thank god something is happening in Blog World, its been so quiet over the hols. Way to go Deb, nice to see a woman in the painting team, hopefully she will be as fussy as you are!!
Reinsey - I swear if you want to change one more thing.....!@#? It will be beautiful.
Tonia - no hot painter, you must have kept him for yourself. Although the lady looks good eye candy for the guy bloggers. PS I only take photos can't load them, technologically? challenges me - John's contribution.
Janine - me too, where has everyone been! and yes, seeing a lady did warm my heart, hope she's good with a broom first.
Deb, why do you have a front door leaning on your brekky bar when there's also one hanging at the front??? No changes - Carlisle have fully cracked it that I even asked and won't even change things that they got wrong. But... we do have news (will post later!
That front door has been in house for months. Looks the same as one installed but apparently incorrect hinges? surprised its still there! Re changes thats funny....we had a 'conversation' with our SS before Xmas re a Carlisle Homes error from our contract to plan. Construction Manager came back with a feeble explanation to which we voiced our disappointment in a letter. Only something we know but too late to take further action. So waiting on your news......
*clapping wildly*
ReplyDeleteDid they let you get in to have a bit of a clean before they start???
