We have mirrors, mirrors and more mirrors. They are in a few different sizes and actually look a little funny in a couple of the wet areas. Not too fussed though.
A couple of pics for you to decide for yourself.

Handover Booked in for 17th June 2010!!!
Went out to the house to check out the concrete work this afternoon and take some pics. Looks like a few other things have also been done. External painting has had its first coat on, the guys have also moved the water tank closer to its final location and though I couldn't see it I have been told that the mirrors have been installed in the bathrooms.
Also got a call from the SS tonight letting us know that handover will be next Thursday. He was going to try to push it to this Friday so that we can have the house for the long weekend, but I told him to take his time and finish off what needs to be done. Our independent inspection will be happening this Friday. So it will also give Wisdom a few days to fix up any issues that might arise as well.
Now that we have a handover date booked in its time to start organising everything for the move. We also need to organise a few things for the new house like TV antenna, Internet connection and foxtel.

Driveway Poured
Got a heads up yesterday that the concretors have finally been able to get to our site and pour our driveway. I couldn't help myself this morning and had to get out there for a look. It was still a bit dark this morning while I was there, but it looks ok from what I can see.
Still no word from our SS about when handover will be. But given that the weather has now cleared up I am hoping we can get in by Friday. If not some time next week the keys should be ours.
Just a couple of pics of the driveway today.

We have had our PCI....not long to go now
We went through with our PCI today even though there were a few more things that needed to be done. The PCI went pretty well. There were the standard paint touch ups that needed to be done and a few other minor items that needed adjusting, cleaning or replacement.
Even though we are getting close to having the keys, there are still a few things that need to be done before we have handover. Handover is still penciled in for late next week. However, that will be dependent on the Sydney weather and how fast our bank is to release the final payment.
The following items should be happening over the next week before handover:
Kitchen
Staircase
Dining Room
Foyer
Leisure/Lounge Room
Upstairs Hallway
Bedrooms
Ensuite
Upstairs Lounge

Rain rain go away!!!
Given the rain over the week and the forecast for more rain next week, I don't think we will be into the new house prior to the Queen's birthday long weekend. The house is pretty much complete on the inside. However we need a few days of clear weather to knock off the remaining outdoor items such as downpipes, cladding paint and driveway. There's not much we or the builder can do about the weather so we will just sit tight and hope its clears up soon. Since the last update it looks like the cleaners have gone through and done their thing. The tiles look great after the clean. A few pics taken through the windows below.

Driveway waiting for some good weather
The main thing left to be done internally is the carpet and possibly the shower frames and mirrors. Hope this gets all done this week and then we just have to wait for sunshine.
