Hi Bob, it's nice to have been able to sell the old place first. When the wife and I moved some years back we were stuck with the old and the new for almost a year, taxes, heat etc. The greatest thing about the new place is not having to work on it for many years.

Yes, I installed them but Galina chose them, (more than my life is worth to get into the selection process : )

Hi All,

We are moved in to the new house.

Much disarray, spasmodic internet using a dongle, no piccys coz crap in boxes is just crap in boxes.

Best Regards
Bob

Congratulations Bob on finally being in the new place. I guess that there will be a lot of little things to adjust and some unpacking to do but that is more fun than packing. :bow: :bow:

Cheers

Congratulations Bob and Galina. I'm sure you'll enjoy it immensely. Other than a few things you'll want to do there is nothing you'll have to do for quite a few years. It seemed like we were always doing some type of repair or upgrade to our old place and now that we're in the new one we can devote more time to what we want to do. What type of warranty do you get with the house? We had one year. For small items like drywall cracks we waited right up until the end before we had them fixed. We were lucky in the fact that our builder took care of things without a problem.

Congratulaions Bob, and thanks for letting us ride along.

I am kind of sorry that you are finished your house. I have looked forward to your weekly reports and learned a lot about house building in your part of the world. I built a house in Northern Canada and one in the US Southwest and both were quite different construction than yours.

May you and Galina have many years of enjoyment in your new home.

Nice to see you posting again Bob. I know moving is a pain so hope you can get settled in soon.

Guys,

Thanks for all the kind words and support through this saga. One never to be repeated.

George builders guarantees in Oz are a myth, 3 months to claim all things. I can only say that getting the various sub contractors to come back and correct their minor mistakes, (mostly electrical and plumbing), is almost impossible. It took 3 weeks to get the electrician to return and the plumber still has not provided us with a plug for the bath.

At least the house is sound and these things are very minor. As I said to the building supervisor, if you and the subbies had done the job properly in the first place, I wouldn't be on your back.

Best Regards
Bob
