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.

Gas ducted heating and evaporative air conditioning pipework installed in roof. Plastering was to commence Thursday - due to our Independent Inspection Report plastering will be rescheduled following rectification work to frame.

Independent Inspection
Electrical rough-in completed and ducted vacuum pipework installed. A last minute decision - we organized a Pre-Plaster Inspection by Kevin at New Homes Inspections. Some frame issues to be taken care of before plaster - Kevin didn't verbally report anything major. Carlisle Homes Construction Manager will have the written Report tomorrow morning. $ well spent for reassurance of workmanship and adherence to Building Codes. We also booked an Inspection for our PCI prior to Handover.

ROOF AND RIDGE CAPPING COMPLETED
Roof completed and its been an eventful evening. John started putting our noggins in whilst I swept and blew the house thru until dark. On our departure 'flat battery'!!! aaarrrrgh!! we know no-one, neither has brought their mobile phone and we look like a couple of hobo's, BonBon in tow. We trotted off to the nearest house with living people and introduced ourselves to our lovely neighbours (you know who you are) who kindly gave us a jump start. Thankyou, Thankyou, your help was greatly appreciated. I think we've left our mark in Faringdon Crescent.
