....got here to find the ducted vacuuming installer doing his thing, yay, he had a key so we could get in. Its been a few years since i've had the ducted vac and the last one i had i had had for a few years, the changes in the unit were astounding, this one is so much smaller and is now bagless, thank god! After installing it he ran a check on all the points to find that one wasn't working, not a prob, a quick fix and off it went, he then showed us how to operate the unit and left us to it. Of course Tony had to have a play...it has a very strong suction, also the hose is so much lighter than the last one we had.
Just as he was leaving the plumbers turned up, without any appliances...okay...whats going on here, apparently they made a trip to the warehouse for nothing, the stove and dishwasher were going to be delivered. Lucky for us we had brought up our dishwasher that we wanted installed...the younger of the two men had never seen a double drawer dishwasher before, so it was all a new experience for him....the job was a mongrel one, it took them nearly three quaters of an hour longer to install it than a regular one...ooops, sorry :( but it does look good in, they gave us their number so we could give them a call when the stuff arrived.
While they were working the hot water service turned up, so it too has gone in.
Got our plumbers back after the delivery of the appliances...it didn't take them very long to install the cooker, only trouble is that it is too short for the benches....we had asked for the island bench to be raised to 950mm, this they did but they also took it upon themselves to raise the height of the other benches, so now even with its legs lengthened the cooker is still too short...lets see what they come up with to fix the problem.
The other problem with our cooker is that someone didn't think when they installed the power point for it, they have put it behind the pot drawer...so, i hear you ask, what is the problem?....once the cooker was plugged in, we couldn't close the drawer properly...oh dear, oh dear....
We put up our redi shades in the ensuite and bathroom today, makes a difference to the rooms, they look warmer, silly i know, the rest of our curtains / blinds should be installed either Sat or Monday...hope its sat as it will be too chaotic on monday with us moving in.
Also measured up the pantry to install an extra shelf to run the whole pantry and also to put in some shelving where they didin't put any.

Will get a pic of the hot water service tomorrow as it wouldn't stop raining and i was not going out there in my slippers :)
Looking great :) Love the new toys! My parents have a ducted vacuum in their house built in 2000 and my grandparents had one in the house they built themselves in 1988 (when nonone had ever heard of them, they had to special order from the US). LOVE them! So much easier than dragging a normal one around. As this is our first build, we didn't have the luxury of installing one, maybe next time :(
ReplyDeleteAlso loving your DW and oven. So wish i could steal them! :D
How many sleeps now? :)
