The latest....

'B' went to the house this afternoon only to find it in lock down!  No sneaky windows left unlocked anywhere, all doors locked.  For the first time we, or I should say he, was restricted to peeking through windows. Nooooooooo!

It wasn't all bad though, he could see that the bathroom mirrors are in and that the shower screens have been delivered yet to be installed.  We also knew from a phone call from our SS today that the wardrobe and pantry fit-outs happened today and he could see a bit of that as well along with the wardrobe door handles having been put on.  No carpet yet or paint touch ups but I guess they'll be happening soon.

In other exciting news.... we bought a new TV, Blu Ray Player and Fridge over the weekend!  We've been saving our pennies over the last year and doing a bit of research here and there (as discussed here a while back) and we're pretty happy with the deal we got.

Firstly, we ended up getting the Samsung Fridge that we've liked all along.  It still seemed to represent the best value for money and thanks to good ol' Mr Lee where everything really is negotiable, we got it for a steal at $1490!  We love it cause it has the water and ice dispenser on the outside, is the perfect size and looks fab!  Oh & did I mention the great price?


Next, we got a 46" Panasonic Viera Plasma for $845!  Again, thanks Mr Lee!  For the tech heads out there it is full HD, 600 Hz, has 3 HDMI, SD Card and USB.  We got a Panasonic Blu Ray player for an additional $145 as our DVD player carked it a few months ago.  We think it's a pretty sweet deal.


Personally, I don't know how I'm going to cope without our neanderthal, beast of an old tele, like the one below, which has a whole lot of tv rear projection bizzo going on behind it but I guess someone at Vinnie's is going to grab a bargain at least.


 Hopefully I'll be back soon with another update and PICS!

Looking good Karla!! You guys are well ahead of us now. Can't wait to see what it looks like when it's all complete. Are you going to use an independent inspector for handover and any idea on handover date yet?

Karla said...

Thanks Jules. No, I don't think we're going to worry about independent inspection. We're happy with everything we've seen and hubby is pretty cluey about those types of things. No handover date yet.

That's great Karla, nothing wrong with the extra bit of money for other more needed items for the home! We are pretty happy with ours as well but for the sake of completeness we will probably use an independent inspector, more for just peace of mind. Not long to go now!
