Who would have thought

We went to see the house 2 days ago and the pavers where still sitting there doing nothing :( But then i realised i can't see in my windows!! All the window treatments were hung and all of carpets had been put down, i though for sure everyone would have knocked off for Christmas already.

So you can imagine i was surprised even further when we went up today and all the paving had been done the gutters and down pipes were painted already and the painters were there doing all the external render painting. So impressed. Did i mention i was impressed

All that's left is the shower screens and mirrors to be fitted and our PC inspection is being booked for the first week of January.

So much for the house not being done til mid Feb !!

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone.

Getting there

Well i have no picture cause i can't get in and keep missing the tradies out there but i can peer in through the windows. The pavers have been delivered for the driveway and alfresco area. All of the internal tiling has been finished the electrician has been and finished his work, the oven and cook top are fitted, the hot water system is in and all gas work is connected, the doors have been routed and the kitchen and bathroom sinks are in and so is the toilet. Well that's a really long sentence.

So all that is left to do is: external painting, floor coverings, window furnishings, door handles, shower screens, bathroom mirrors and a final clean up before practical completion inspection, but as its the week before Christmas i don't expect to see much change until after new years.

Almost there almost there :)

I can't get in :(

Well i went to the house to see how the plastering was going today, and found i couldn't get in. Doors and windows had appeared from nowhere. The plastering was finished the internal doors were hung shelves and rails were in, the cabinets, toilets, fixtures, bathtubs and bench tops had all been delivered. A nice ceiling man showed up as i was about to leave and let me inside to look. I even had towel rails and toilet roll holders that had been mounted to the walls !!!! So small yet so exciting. The ceiling man said they were coming tomorrow to fix a couple of small things, then sand and paint the ceilings and cornices. All this means only 1 thing ................................................ they will want more money soon.

Cement and plaster

Well the walls are all cemented and plastered up. The front of the house has also been rendered. Next Week will see the doors and windows go on and lock up by Wednesday. Then cabinets and fixtures will go and by then end of the week. Almost there !!!! Well sort of. At least it looks like a house now :)

On to the next bit

Well the cement rendering on the internal walls is all done, although they did cement straight over a couple of my power points, but not hard to fix, just scrape out the cement. So it will be ceiling and windows this week and add a door then we're all locked up.

Come on built faster we want to move in already :)

Roof is on

The roof and gutters and downpipes and flumes and whirly birds are on. Well they were actually on a week ago i/ve just not gotten around to updating the blog. The walls are going to be cement rendered this week then windows ceiling plastering and wall plastering to follow alltopped off with a front door, then we are at lock up. YAY!!!

Wire me up

Well not much exciting, the electrical prewiring is done, not going to post pics cause we all know that that looks like. The coloubond should go on next week and the windows, yay.
