Whoa... how much work can they do in a week?

Well, it looks like quite a bit!  Internal linings are complete and most of the lighting holes have been cut out!

The garage looks awesome!

The front door is in place!

We are very pleased with our super awesome (I am banned from calling things 'pretty') front door!

Here is another door... we think it is the laundry door!

They have put holes in my lovely gyprock... but that's okay because they will soon have downlights in them!

Another perfect hole!

More holes!

Even more holes!

 Our hallway!

More holes in our family room!

Waterproofing in our bathroom!

Our alfresco area, with more holes!



Our lovely cornice!

More of the alfresco area!

Door, doors, doors! And door frames!

Loving the cornice! A lot.

The niche in our ensuite! It will look prettier when it's all tiles!

Some waterproofing goop!

Our pantry and the niche into the family room! Looking pretty!

More bathroom waterproofing stuff! 

The main bathroom shower, it looks a bit average right now, but I think it will look fantastic when its all done!


The bathtub! 

More bathtub!

Our SS who has been absolutely amazing at keeping us up to date is predicting a move in date around 6-8 weeks... The kitchen is due to go in next week, can't wait to see what it looks like! So very excited!

A crazy busy month

It has been noted by my friends that I have not updated this page for a while. It has not been due to a lack of action by our builders... so much has happened, but I have just been busy! Sorry!

Here are some pictures so you can see what happened during the last month.

So we have selected our screen doors and we are going for this invisi-guard stuff.

The brickwork is all done.


 The bricks look quite dark here, but they are not that dark in real life.

The front of the house has taken shape. 

Guttering has been put up. 


Stuff was put up to stop our roofers falling off the roof.




This is exhaust pipe for our rangehood. 

There are air-con ducts everywhere.

Cables hanging from the rafters.

Rendering out the front was completed.
 Our front porch starting to look pretty.

More rendering.



The cables for the outdoor alfresco area.

The air con unit.

I think our house should be nice and chilly in summer.

More rendering.
 The micro-switch for the pantry light.

Our pretty house!

Our insulation.
