FEW EXTRAS 17/07/2008

Here are a few pics of what I took yesterday at the house:

Back patio




Our funky dining room light.


Air-con in the lounge room

GARAGE DOOR 15.07.2008

The driveway is poured, so is the patio slab, the garage door is on, some of the air-cons are in and the lights & fans are almost complete.
The house is really starting to come together now. Below are some pics of the outside, we're going to take the curtain/blind samples out to check them next to the paint so I will take some more photos of the inside when we are out there.

Outside with garage door, front lights, drive way, air-con box in the way and front door painted...

PROGRESSING 10/07/2008

I got a call today from the construction office from our builders saying they have an estimated practical completion date of 08/08/2008 (Adam got excited cause that's the day the olympics start) but unfortunately untill the final payment is made we wont be handed over the keys to move in.

Today we delivered the air-conditioners to be installed hopefully tomorrow and to our surprise when we got there this is what we saw! The driveway boxed & ready to pour!!






We went inside to see the mirrors have been put in also, see below

Not only did we see all this but also the cupboard doors have been put on as well.

PAINTING ALMOST DONE 5/07/2008

The painting is almost completed now and the count down is on till we are allowed to move in. We stil haven't been given a final date so everything is still up in the air. Hopefully I'll hear back from the builders next week with a more accurate date of completion so we can get busy & get packing & moving.

Here's a few more recent pics:

Down pipes are up (not yet painted)


Ensuite basin is in


Bathroom basin in


Pantry door on & painting done


Paint on linen cupboard & hallway

PAINTING IN PROGRESS

Today Adam & I went out to the house & met the painter, they've done the undercoat & the first colour of all the inside of the house and it's looking great.

The painter is just one guy so it's going to take quite a while but he said he should be finished by the end of next week.

We still don't have a date when we can move in, I'll be asking for that next.

MORE TILES 17.06.2008

The tilers are almost done now, we guess the painters will be next but we'll just have to sit back & wait and see.

Adam has decided he is going to do the gates across the front of the house himself to try and save us a little bit of money so we'll see how that goes too.

Here are some updated pics:

The tilers have been back & at work, they've finished the tiles in the kitchen and are almost finished the ensuite. We will go back later today or over the weekend and see if they have started the main bathroom but here is a quick preview so far.
