Day 209 - EOD
Progress on driveway, aggregate to be exposed tomorrow I guess.
Sideway behind garage starting to take shape with concrete laid, and decking posts in position.
Care need to be taken with all paths laid next to the Hebel, as the hebel overhangs the slab, care needs to be taken that no concrete goes under the hebel, if it does then it is likely that at some point it will rip the hebel off the house due to the fact that the path is lighter than the house and will move more with the natural expansion and contraction of the underlying clay
Still chasing council to approve my fixing the crossover - that might be enough along with all the kitchen and laundry stuff for a while
Day 209 - Tidy up
Problem with split level is what to do with the split outside areas? Garage opens to .5 meter drop, as does the laundry. Choices are concrete or wood decking. We are going for wood, with wooden steps down to a concrete area for the boys basketball practice. 
Entry will be adorned with wooden decking
And we have put a gate up the other side to inhibit the dogs freedom of movement.

Day 207 - last day before final walkthru
I have had a final inspection performed by NHI, as usual a very thorough job. I will have a feel for the magnitude of the suggested changes when I catch up with the SS tomorrow morning, for what should be the final walkthru. 
IMHO the house is looking great, and I can't believe how this has been such a relatively stress free build that it has been.

Day 190 - Stairs to family room replaced
Original stairs were fine, but step depth looked small due to the step widths, so we agreed with CG to upgrade them.
