A few essential items...





Concreting to the alfresco area and the front verandah done.  Verandah will be painted and alfresco will have tiles layed as soon as we can decide on what tiles we like!





Last weekend the split system air con went in, and this weekend Glenn and Wade put the wood heater in (with a slight complication due to a roof truss being right in the path of the flue).

Nearing completion

11 weeks in and it's almost finished!  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.

Bricks finished, cabinets in...sort of

Bricks are all finished and look very neat.  They look lighter than they really are as they haven't been cleaned yet.  Verandah is being roofed next weekend. 


Cabinets went in at the end of last week although the kitchen is being remade as it's wrong!  Laundry looks great- has a broom cupboard and a slide out hamper.


Kitchen bench and cupboards should come all the way to the end of the wall where pantry door is, not sure why they are about half a meter short, but they are redoing them.  Should have two overhead cabinets on one side of rangehood and three on the other.  The ones there at the moment are enormous.
