Just the Two of Us

Just the Two of Us

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.

Are We There Yet?

Lead up to Practical Completion Inspection - Friday 4th March.....



Found our three great Painters back on site for paint completion and touchups.  Full credit for patience having to follow other Trades scuffing their previous work.
No camera!! but I was able to have a good look around making mental notes for PCI.....
chipped tile in ensuite shower was replaced and 'Networker Control' installed for heating/cooling.
Inside is excellent albeit another visit by the cleaners - thrilled with carpets.
Side of house has been given another scrape and backfilled to slab.
Carlisle Homes requested us to organize fit off of ducted vacuum motor plus commissioning of heating/cooling after Handover - booked!
Fences scheduled for early next week.
Timber Venetians for bedrooms 2 and 3, study, bathroom and ensuite ready to be installed day of Handover. 
Shutters to follow with Roller Blinds 'ready to go' once we finalize colour.
Exposed Aggregate Driveway, side path and Alfresco scheduled 21st March....Yipeeee!!!
