Wet area tiling (week 24)

The wet tile area got prepared and the tiles have been laid. The wet area wall tiles as well as the balcony have been tiled. Now waiting for grouting etc to be done.

The kitchen cabinets are still not all up due to some error. Hopefully it will get fixed up soon.

Abbey blinds and Shutters are coming to measure our windows next week so they can start manufacturing our roller blinds.

Cabinets and tiling (week 24)

Drove past the house on Monday morning to see a Fab kitchens truck in the driveway delivering our kitchen and bathroom cabinets.

Very happy with how the cabinets came out. The colour is Polar White in natural finish.

Kitchen counter against the wall - still needs more cabinets and a rangehood

Cornices and hopefully stairs (week 22)

This week the cornices have been put in and now hopefully the stairs will come later this week.

It was very interesting to see on the camera the way the cornices get placed (see below)

We have walls! (week 21)

We were away this week enjoying a nice break in Port Stephens. It was still nice to logon to Build watch and see the work being done.

The walls got insulated and gyprocked this week.

we have moved inside now! (week 20)

The camera has been moved from outside to the living area. The outside is about 90% done and there is a bit of scaffolding by the front door and balcony.

We still need doors, garage door and the lower bricks by the front door to be cleaned.

So far this week we have had the lower eaves done, balcony sheeting (not sure what that is), air con ducts and the electricians are busy  at the moment.

We are going to have our first supervised visit this week. Very exciting.

Lower bricks cleaned & painting (week 18 and 19)

Some scaffolding was removed after the windows and upper downpipes got painted. Some bricks on the lower level got cleaned (except for where the scaffolding has remained).

The garage has been cleaned and cleared for the lower roof to commence.

Plans for the rest of this week is lower roof, lower eaves and balcony sheeting and frame straightening.
