Concrete in backyard

Fibre Optic to the home

Just some update, a month after the handover, the rangehood ducting has finally been done, however Simonds still owe me a certificate for the mortar re-colouring, still need to chase that up

Other than that, everything seems good except for the sliding doors, i think they didn’t seal properly and therefore i have terrible wind noise coming into the house, have to wait until they come back for maintenance

Free-to-air TV, this is a huge issue, a lot, a lot of issues getting the fibre done..

We have Opticomm came to our house and installed the ONU unit, based on what they said, i would get free-to-air TV automatically once ONU unit installed, however i got nothing.

After so many phone calls and email, both Opticomm & Villawood said that Opticomm would come and fix the fibre.

I finally have my TV back on 14July, 2 months exactly after the handover.. OMG

And internet, finally received the router and get connected 4 days after having the TV.. so i finally feel a bit better now…

Next, still, the phone.. Internode did send me a starter pack but i can’t figure out how to install it.. so properly need another phone call..

This fibre-to-home things just too tech for me, but i must admit that the internet is so fast and so good, i think it worth the wait..

These 2 days (21/22July) is concrete day, they are still working on the concrete at a moment, but it looks good so far.. will post some pic later.. Ronny is good, i would recommend him if anyone interest of concreting..Next on agenda, properly is the fence…

My back neighbour has moved in a few days ago and they start concreting already, i wonder why they don’t start with the fence, i was hoping that they would send me the quote/bill and saved me some work… hehehee

What need to be done...

Well, its been a little more than a month since we moved into our new house… Finally the rangehood ducting is done.. the only remaining follow up is just some paperworks…

Now, have to start writing up the maintenance list… there are a few things that need fixing (I guess), some paint jobs definitely, and the niche in the ensuite is cracking, some doors not closed properly and i think the main issue is the sliding doors, which have not been seal properly (based on my inspection), so air leak in and i have a surround sound (wind noise) in the living area during windy days… but other than that, everything is fine… i just hope that my neighbour can finish their construction sooner so that i can open the window… i love fresh air…

Have the ONU connection done by the estate nominated contractor, however still cannot get free to air TV & internet/phone, a bit disappointed. The contractor said that there is no fibre connected to my property, but when i called the estate they said that all fibre connection been connected/done, so who is lying and who is telling the true????? I just want my TV/phone/internet, that’s all

Now, have scheduled the concreting (for backyard) and some roller blinds to be done later this month, then will be fencing and some gardening.. then properly air-con, not sure which brand to choose yet, but i can certainly wait as it is still long way to go until Summer… Too many things need to be done and i feel very tired…
