PCI Done - Handover in 2 Weeks!

Handover went a lot better than I was expecting. We arrived to see the concretors working on the driveway. They are hoping to pour it either Tuesday or Wednesday. When we arrived the house was red with dots. We met our SS and he immediately said we have the house repainted. Which is a massive relief. It is the only thing we were completely disapointed with. The rest of the trades have done a pretty good job. While we were there the guy came to cut out holes in the stone for the outdoor sink. Yes our sink has reappeared on site. Apparently the plumber was told it would be a good idea for him to take it with him so it didn't go missing. The plumber didn't do this but his apprentice did. But his apprentice didn't tell anyone and stuck it in a back cupboard in their workshop. So when the SS rang the plumber he knew nothing of it. Anyway, crisis over, we have a sink. Makes a lot more sense than someone stealing a sink. Everything we had concerns about is being fixed. And we are a lot happier now. I am even starting to think that if we had met our new SS weeks ago in person we would have had a very different few weeks. It is very hard to trust someone with your house when you haven't met them face to face. And phone calls are very difficult to understand. I don't know how people with other builders do it. I know a lot of building companies don't even give you the SS number. Let alone a key so you can see the progress yourself. I think I would have had a nervous break down dealing with those kind of companies. Bring on 2 weeks!
