Just out of interest, I can't remember which plots you have... do your houses have external rendering? I've been told that's what the delay with mine is. Hi there We are plot 229 and have rendering too... In terms of Virgin, my husband keeps emailing the guy at Virgin asking when the road will be connected and it's impossible to get him to commit to anything and Sue at the site office says it is out of Harron's hands

Re virgin, they were supposed to connect ours on Christmas Eve when we moved in and they never showed up and we had nothing till the 2nd week in Jan. I would seriously look at getting an aerial installed as soon as you move in. If you check threads there are people who have fitted their own in the loft so you don't need to fix externally. Good luck all !

Hi all, just wondering how everyone is getting on...
Home demo is all booked in 9 days before move date and the rendering is complete on mine. Apparently the only things that haven't yet been done are the carpets and connection of the services so I'm cautiously pleased.
Just wondering if you are all getting on ok too and how it is living on the street for those who have already moved (and if there's any broadband yet?)

We are going in to the house tomorrow to measure for curtains. Home demo booked for 13th and moving in on the 16th. It should be signed off by building regs on Friday so fingers crossed as that means there is absolutely no reason the date should change.

Jen Our home demo is Tuesday morning then we move on the 9th. That is providing that it gets signed off on the 2nd. Apparently it's pretty much done apart from putting glass into one of the windows. Then again that was as of last Friday so I'm hopeful that all is done now.

We met one of the couples who moved in a few weeks ago and we're looking forward to meeting some of our other neighbours!

Afternoon all, home demo completed this morning. The house hadn't had its final clean so wasn't as we expected it but no major snagging found just a few paintwork and sealing to do. Rowan seems really on it and has promised to have them all sorted by tomorrow's move in. Cleaners were literally going in as we left.

Thanks Good news re the snagging, thanks for sharing... and that's a good tip re the bins. Presumably you can do that on the Rotherham council website?
Best of look for tomorrow and I'll see you two weeks today!

Good evening
It's also move day for us tomorrow.
Hoping to have keys by 11. Going to pick up the van for 9 and get the bins straight after. The only thing I have as a concern is that the road is nowhere near finished and it's going to make tomorrow a little difficult.
We had our demo on Tuesday. It's all good and we are extremely impressed with the finish. The only things we need sorting are the same things as yourself Chris; sealant in bathrooms and kitchen plus a massive clean (hoping all is done).
Also hoping to get drive started on Monday - want to get everything done whilst off work.
Jenni - ref bins: give Rotherham council a call and ask to be put through to Streets & Lights (I think). They were actually really helpful just a bit gutted we have to pay for the bleeding things! They're free in Sheffield!
Chris I laughed out loud at your 'hump' comment 😂
Anyways we are absolutely buzzing about getting onto Rosewood Drive and meeting everyone!
