UPDATES INSIDE FROM JUNE 3rd 2008

After almost 3 long weeks of stand-still at the house the carpenters have been back & done a great job of hanging the doors, installing the cupboards & all the skirting boards etc and yesterday was the first chance we were able to get inside to take some photos to update the blog.

Nothing done

There has been nothing done to our house in 2 weeks now.

We got a visit from Adam's family for the Labour Day weekend & we went to look at the house and have been back a few times since then and nothing has changed. Everything is slowing down now when we want it to be speeding up to so we can move in sooner than later.

We'd love an estimated completion date so we know how everything is going.

HOUSE PROGRESSING....

The bricks are now all now complete, not a lot else to finish ont he outside of the house (except the landscaping, concreting, clean-up, eves, etc). Here are a few pics of the outside bricks









The kitchen and vanities have now been put into the house, the kitchen isn't finished yet but here's a few pics to give you an idea:

BRICKS ARE UNDERWAY & FLOOR TILES FINISHED!! 19.04.08

We went for a drive out to the house today & saw that the brickies have started their work to finish the outside of the house. Below are some new pics taken today:

The tilers have also been busy and have finished the tiling of the floor. We have the same tiles throughout the entire house including the bathrooms and capet in the lounge and the bedrooms. Below are a few pictures taken today also:

LOCKED OUT 15.04.2008

We're now locked out of the house, so when we went for a look today I had to take these pics through the window (hence the crappy photos).

The tiler has been there working for the last few days, they're only doing the floor tiles at this stage and wont do the wall tiles until the carpenter has put in the kitchen & vanity so they can work around them.

CEILING DONE 8.04.2008

Below are a couple of photos of the plaster on the ceiling in, there is still a bit of tidying up to be done but it's looking more and more like a house every day.

We now have walls up in the house, the ceiling is next then we're guessing the bricks will be after that, here is a few more recent photos:
