Jordan
They were prepping the road today and have told us that it is being tarmacced tomorrow. The cleaners were in yours when we arrived and finished just before we left.
We are off all next week so are going to move in gradually. What did you decide on for the drive? Are you doing the prep work yourself?

I must admit Rowan does seem to be on it. Ref drive: he's coming to look at the weekend because he has not seen it fully complete yet. Going to extend it all the way to the garden and perhaps move one layer of grass. I won't be doing any prep work myself he's going to do all of it. I've told him other neighbours are interested too for a discounted price. |

Sounds good, my pal round the corner has just had his done so will show you the pics. His road is block paved though so he doesn't have the issue with the dropped curb.

This is all so exciting! Feel like I'm missing out a bit...My home demo is Tuesday lunch. I hope all has gone well today.
Thanks guys for the bins info and for sharing your snagging experiences- it's all very reassuring I must say. I'm a bit gutted re bin payment too - like you said free in Sheff. No matter. We're all nearly there. So looking forward to Christmas on Rosewood Drive! 🎄

Hi Jenni
Just had chance to catch our breaths! The bins were waiting for us when we arrived so only took about 3 days! Today has been hectic and there is an awful lot of snagging mainly to do with the poor finish of the plaster and painting. I do feel it's due to them rushing to get us in a week early but that shouldn't be an excuse.
Our kitchen floor was meant to be fitted this morning but they have had to re-level the floor so it's going down early next week. That being said we are not too downhearted and really looking forward to moving in officially! Give us a shout when you have your home demo, we will be knocking about

Well we are in and we are most definitely happy with the quality of the finish. Still a few little bits to do like our front door not shutting properly - it does shut you just have to give it a bit of a clout. Rowan has told us to make a list of the things that we are not happy with and he will send someone round to sort them but overall we can't complain too much.
We are absolutely exhausted and it all starts again tomorrow! Overall though we are thrilled 😁

Congrats on moving into your new home, we've been in ours about 5 weeks now and we're still thrilled. Like yourselves we didn't have much wrong snag wise either.

We have our home demo on Tuesday morning. Is anyone around who is planning on having their drive done? Would be interested in having a quick chat if possible.
We got into the house last week to do a bit of measuring and even though it wasn't entirely finished, we were generally pleased with everything. Didn't really get chance to look for snags but there was nothing apparent apart from a couple of tiny things.
We are moving in on Friday so busy packing but getting excited!

Hi everyone. My home demo is noon tomorrow(13th). I'm bringing my Dad for snagging purposes!
I'm plot 227/house number 5... so the other side of Nat &Jordan and next door but one to Claire and Gary on the 'odd' side of the road 😂I'll definitely say hello but feel a bit shy knocking on doors (not like me at all!)... so if you see a blonde woman in a black VW Polo it's me - gimme a wave!! I've also pretty much lost my voice at present through a very ill-timed cold. I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone soon though and feel really reassured that you're all so nice!
I'll let you know how the snagging goes.
Just one question.. has anyone managed to sort Broadband on the street yet? I'm currently a Sky customer but am planning to install Virgin for the faster wifi, though I'm not sure I can manage Christmas with no connectivity or telly. My data allowance will cost more than the house!
Very excited to see you all soon 😊
