Landscaping Over 12 months on....

It is great to finally see plants in the ground and no longer the bare dirt.  Time to watch the plants grow.

January/February 2014
We had all the landscaping completed around the pool area, the Alfresco paved and the front landscaped, just didn't do any planting at that time. Landscaper - Dream Making Landscapes

Week 23 - Touch ups and Finishing off

We were due to have our PCI this week, however this was postponed as there were still some things not quite finalised.  SS didn't want to present our house to us with not everything finished.

Termite Barriers

This was installed - not quite sure how these are finished off as this is just sitting there!
See the green box and yellow cord along the edge of the concrete.

Exterior Painting

Finally all the timber work around the Exterior was painted - this is one of the things holding things up. There will now be some touch ups required due to some sloppiness!

Front door without the blue paint tape on it!

Stairs Lacquered

Sorry - can only see this through the rumpus window!

Boundary Fence installed

Other Stuff 

Independent Inspection now booked for Monday and then PCI on Thursday.
Still confusion with one vanity basin.
Laundry Chute to finalise (may have been done - just can't see)
Window frame to finish above extended benches in dining room after Essa Stone installation.

Week 17 - as everyone says, it feels a little slow right now

So yes, it all feels a little slow, even though I know lots has happened. Yes there are days when people aren't there as well.

This past week the painters have been onsite, however they said there is plaster work that needs to be fixed so that they can paint.  They still tackled areas around all this prepping everything and covering all non painted surfaces with plastic - windows, cabinets, etc.  Looks pretty funny.  Glad I didn't have to do the wrapping.

With a little visit to the house yesterday to meet SS there, I noticed that a lot of the plaster had been fixed up.  So I can only guess that next week is all systems go for the painters inside, then out.

Over the past 2 weeks the Garage and Alfresco have had the plaster installed on walls and ceiling, with all the finishing off timbers also.

Downpipes were also installed on a yukky windy day!

The roof has been added to the Portico and since being plastered in ceiling also.

Been having interesting discussion with SS about the laundry chute.  The design on plan is a little strange, so working through.  Apparently not many laundry chutes normally installed.  Funny that the chute was installed upstairs but there is no hole in the bottom of the cupboard!  Anyway, SS is onto it and getting it sorted.

Still working on quotes for Landscaping, Fencing etc etc....exhausting!

I wish someone would sweep up the rubbish
I am about to go and do it myself, can't stand it!
