Lock up & Fixing Stage (Invoice on 21st Dec 2012)

Dear all, Happy New Year all. Hope you all have nice Christmas & New year with Family/ Friends.

Due to the distance from my current residency , it rather difficult for us to visit the site regularly. The bank has just paid the progress payment for the fixing stage this Monday 7th Jan 2013.

Although technically not everything they did considered completed for fixing stage.

Since fixing stage should mean when all plaster, architraves, skirting, doors, built in shelves , cabinets and cupboards are fitted and fixed into position.

I think the builder hope to install those stuff after the break as it could be stolen if they install it before they go on break. I hope they don't delay the installation just like the way they hand in the invoice for every stages.

I bet you agree with me that builder never late in submitting their invoice. Everything has been progressing really well so far.
I have been told the trades will return back to work from next week 14th Jan 2013. Here are some pictures of the house when we visited in December.

Another invoice to go , and then we are ready to move in. It's kinda difficult when you have rent and loan goes at the same time. So we are hoping we could move in asap.

Hoping it will be another 2 months maximum until the hand over... Cheers.
