I had a phone call a couple of weeks ago from HBC saying that they would have to change my Air Conditioner model because the one previously chosen was a run-out model and was complete out of stock. No biggy. They offered me a LG unit. Still reverse cycle, still ducted with zoning capabilities. It's actually a bit of an upgrade (according to them anyways - I'll take their word on it...at least I've heard of LG before and it's a reputable brand). One difference though is that the LG is only a Single Phase unit unlike the Haier which was 3 phase. Now for those who remember, back at Pre-Start I'd enquired about getting 3 phase power but decided it was an unessecary extra so decided not to, only to be told later I needed it for the A/C so got it for free. Well now I don't need it anymore, but have it and it still cost me nothing with a better A/C thrown in. Can't complain with that!
Also, apparently the painter and plumber should've been finishing up as of last week, so floors and blinds should be going in soon and paving outside being about the only other major component left to do (that I can think of anyway!). All up, the builder will have their inspection set for the end of October with my Inspection being around mid-November and handover only a couple of days after that. Not Long to go now!
Oh, and before I forget, a quick pic of the rangehood I've got on layby atm to be installed at my leisure after Handover. It's an Excelsior (e.g. no-name brand :P ) but is very similar in specs to brands like Westinghouse for a better price, and in my opinion, superior looks. A little bit of pezzaz in the kitchen to make the place a little more stylish! And the brand isn't actually visible on the appliance anywhere so will still blend in with all the Westinghouse stove & oven.
