Driveway

I LOVE my driveway.  Since it has been laid, I have colourbond moments.  I had to keep looking it from different angles.  Love looking at it from our bedroom windows.  It makes such a difference.

Also love not having dirt out the front.

Lets just say the amount of dirt around the house, does not help with a clean free house inside.  Learn to love dust when you first move in!!!!!

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 21 - Very close to the end, more finishing touches

Facade & Roller Door

Monument Panelmaster Roller Door is on, great to see the balance of colour.  Just as I type this now, my husband is at the house and sent me a photo of the front door which is now painted Red.  We were at the house yesterday until midday, so it has happened since then!

The Portico is just now waiting to be painted, then the front facade is finished.

Electrical and Technology

Outside Speakers in Grand Alfresco - party time!

Wall Mounted TV set up ready to go

External Powerpoints on Grand Alfresco
 - we put one up each end

Stair lights - I think the very right one should have been
further up???

Tiling Splashback in Guest Suite

As mentioned in previous post, the tiling was not centred on the splashback.  This has now been fixed, even though I was working on the feature tile idea.  However, after now looking at the work, I think it looks fine.

Cut edge on the tile looks fine.

Can see how the tiling is more centred to
everything else now.

 Some Fix Ups

This corner needed to be fixed as it was not plum.
You can also see the Bolero Laminate Flooring added in the hallway through the doorway.

Downstairs linen cupboard - we had to remove the top shelf so the clothes that fall through the linen chute directly above have somewhere to fall too!

This is currently where the laundry chute needs to be finished with some laminate type timber and obviously neatened up.

Laundry Chute upstairs, still needs hole cut so the clothes have somewhere to go!

Bolero Laminate Flooring - Rustic Coffee

This was laid on Friday

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!
