PCI Done...very pleased indeed.

PCI was done early, long story but the bank recommend it be done prior to them doing the evaluation and paying the final payment. Our SS was very obliging and changed it to today.

The only thing we were worried about was the bricks. They had started to turn a rusty/yellow colour(instead of the grey they started out as) and they looked, well, not right.  Anyway our SS had recognised this and got PGH out to check the bricks and advise. They said the issue was iron in the bricks reacting with acid(I assume from the acid wash). They trialed an area with a chemical neutralizer, which worked, so the whole house was done this morning.  We could see improvement in the colour already and this should continue to get better. The test patch is perfect. We are more than happy with how our SS and Casaview dealt with this. After handover PGH will also come out to touch up any large chips etc in the bricks. This attention to detail is very pleasing.

So besides a few minor nicks and paint touch ups(to be expected) there are no issues with the house. It looks amazing. The ensuite I worried about so much, looks great. It really does. I stressed over nothing. Our kitchen and caesarstone top looks awesome, even without appliances. Someone stole two kitchen cupboard doors. Why? I haven't a clue...idiocy. I just looked at my photos and they went somewhere between 25th and 30th July. No need to worry they'll be replaced. Master bathroom looks great, walls, floors, windows, overall fittings, exterior, concrete patio and driveway all are fabulous...really we couldn't be more pleased. As a topper the house has been completed two months before the contract date even with some rain. You can't ask for more than that. We are very happy with Casaview and will recommend them.

I would have taken some photos but like a dunce I didn't have the SD card in the camera and I didn't think quick enough to use the camera's small memory. Oh well only a week or so. We can't wait to move in, we are so excited.
