    Hey Rainbow.Brite,

    Where along the Cresent are you? I’m down tomorrow for snagging (I’m on the green) but from being down last weekend I think it’s just the groundwork’s. It only took them 2 weeks to go from nothing to driveways laid and everything like landscaping done. For me it has only been the 2 week delay that they told me about and Bryan has been very helpful.
    I’ll take a look tomorrow and report back.

    I'll be on the side facing 'the view' I can see not much work has started on their side...

    Have you moved in already?

    Due to close towards the end of next week. Finish on the house is really good - not much picked up on the snag at all.

    Based on what I can see out my back windows numbers 1 to 9 on the Cresent are completed house wise but I can see that the gardens from numbers 6 onwards are not walled and the Air to Water outdoor units not installed from number 5 onwards.
    From my own experience they do move quite quickly with the ground works. I didn't have a back garden or a driveway at the beginning of Feb but was all done last week. What could be your biggest delay is getting the ESB. I'm not sure if they've that done on that side of the estate yet

    Hi everyone,

    Nice to meet you all.

    Just booked a house in the Paddocks! Is there any other group on WhatsApp or Facebook?

    My house is not ready yet. They're waiting ESB to install the electricity. Is there anyone at the same situation?

    Thanks!

    Hi victorcosta,

    Congratulations on the house.
    Seems like everything has been at a standstill on site for the last number of weeks.
    I was on to Coonan's and they said the builders are hoping to get back on site on the 18th May.
    I'm waiting on an update on the status of my house once they are back on site and fingers crossed will have a completion date.

    Hey Kadu1234,

    Yeah its been dead up here the last few weeks. Spoke to Tadhg last week as he was knocking around and the plan is for the 18th. The houses on the Cresent were doing well; houses 1 - 4 are pretty much done and they even have the tape and coverings off the windows etc. Houses 5 onwards are in various stages but getting there.

    Thanks for the update, much appreciated. When you say houses 1-4 are pretty much done, which ones are they? The ones opposite the already built houses on Morristown way?

    Nope, they're behind the Green, but the two across from the Way are also completed but the walls in the garden need to be plastered. They also have power as one of the back door lights is on all the time :D

    Hi Tomister,
    Thanks for the update, great to have some idea of whats happening and the status of the houses in that row. I'm waiting for the houses from 5-9 of the Cresent to be completed so fingers crossed they move quickly from next week.

    Hopefully we will be living there pretty soon. Any other groups easier than this forum? (Facebook or WhatsApp? )

    I’m on the new side of the estate so none of my neighbours are in the group. If I see anyone out when I’m walking around I’ll ask them

    Hello Folks
    Does anyone is waiting for 5-9 Morristown Crescent?
    The foreman told me that they are waiting ESB but I went there on the weekend and seems the only thing missing is the pavement

    Hey @Sperafix,
    ESB is being connected this week. They aren't tarring that section in front of 5-9 until they have finished landscaping the front of the houses opposite. I'm booked in to do my snag list next week, have you a date for your snag?.

    The foreman told me yesterday (24/06) that ESB will be in the site today(25/06), and hopefully I will do my snag next week.Bit he didn’t give me the green light yet. (They are saying to me “early next week” for a month now)

    They tried to push out my snag from Wed 01/07 to the end of the week but told them it's already booked so they said it's ok....maybe say you have someone booked and see what they say?

    I think I will try to do this he told me early next week, so I will "assume" is the final date....

    ESB were on site today so hopefully that's a good sign for those waiting - usually the builders leave a light on somewhere so I'll take a look tonight.

    One thing to watch for on the snag is how even the floors are. I've a bit of a dip in the hall floor that wasn't rectified and there's now some give in the floorboards.
    Apart from that the house should be well finished!

    Hi all
    I just booked 3 bed terrace in the new development in the Paddocks on Morristown Avenue. They are directly across from the new apartments. Grateful for any advice on what the neighbourhood is like..it seems to be getting a bit busy, has anyone an insight into what the new apartments will be like? Also I don't drive yet so wondering if walking into town is something anyone does on a regular basis?
    If anyone else has bought on the same street would be grateful to hear if they also have any of the same worries about the meeting apartment blocks being so close or if it's just first time buyers stress!
