Post Handover: Day 4

No work has been done by the tradesmen over the last two days because it was a week-end. So, we worked on packing and moving some stuff to the new house to reduce the hassle of the actual move-in day.

By the end of Post-Handover Day 4 (which is a Monday), additional lights were installed and landscaping work continued. Here is the update:

Electrical: Our electrician arrived at 7:30 am. He and his assistant installed 27 downlights throughout the house along with 3 pendant lights and 1 wall light. Then we tested them, all done by 11:30. The house is well lit now, we just need to buy warm white LED globes for the pendants.

Flooring: Pending vinyl installation and skirting board installation supposed to happen today, but unfortunately they were short of plunk on Friday. So, the flooring company needed to reorder two boxes, hence delaying the work until Thursday! We are glad that it is being done at least before we are moving in!
FYI: Detail on our Flooring Choices is here

Here are some pictures after we cleaned up the house a bit: flooring looks unfinished without the skirting boards though!

Landscaping: Driveway work started from today. By the day end they installed the frames on some part of the driveway. But still needs some land levelling on other parts. Hopefully driveway will be poured sometime this week. Apart from that, the backyard is levelled already.

 Apart from these; we organized the household items throughout the house in different cupboards. Just trying to have less work in hand for the Move-in day (still there will be plenty I know).
