The wrong kitchen has been replaced with the right kitchen which looks great. The stone benchtops went in yesterday and really make it look good. The tiles in the bathrooms and laundry have been done and I really love the feature tiles. Electrical stuff is all done so we can actually turn lights on and don't need torches now! Garage door is on and enormous water tank is in place. Next week- flooring and plumbing fit off. Only a few weeks left til we move in.<br />

Then today they added the alfresco on and almost finished the roof frame, making it all look a lot bigger. It's pretty exciting to be able to walk through now and see how the layout looks. (The walk-in pantry is going to be fantastic!).<br />

A lot of polystyrene there! The workmen arrived before 7, closely followed by five concrete trucks and they were pumping the concrete in before we left for work. Of course it rained that day, but our rain gauge said only about 2mm.<br />

When we got home that night, we spent about an hour picking up plastic, food wrappers, wire, etc and putting it in the bin. Not good if it blows into the paddocks and the horses or dogs eat it- Nero does seem to have a taste for plastic bags :-/ Nickleglenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16918773380050203391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181932152375688644.post-47847221900018889762013-04-27T16:42:00.002-07:002013-04-27T16:42:47.383-07:00GravelDoesn't look much different, but the piers have been concreted and there's gravel over the top of it all.
