Small update

So a few more bits and pieces have been done this week, so here's a few photos.

The Ice Snow caeserstone benchtops have gone in and look very nice from what we can see under the sheeting.


And here's the waterfall end that we paid extra for.


And in case you haven't seen enough yet, another kitchen shot.


Tiling in the laundry.


Our SS arranged for this angled piece of gyprock under the stairs to be extended so it's flush with the ends. See photo below of what it looked like before. This was done at no expense to us and we didn't even ask for it to be done. A small change, but I definitely think the end result looks better.


Our feature wall in the ensuite shower.


And another shot of the feature wall.


The main bathroom feature tiling, which was extended from shower height to full wall height this week. A definite improvement.
This was the shower height tiling, that didn't really look finished.

More Tiling

There's been a bit more progress this week.

This is a shot to show the size of the kitchen...


And another one...


They've done the gyprock under the stairs, and put the door on the understairs cupboard...


The feature tiling in the main bathroom shower...


The bath & vanity unit in the main bathroom...


The ensuite. The black wall in the shower will eventually be a full wall of feature tiling...


The external version of the tiles in the bathroom have been used on the porch and balcony as shown here...

And a shot of the house now all the scaffolding has been removed. Like the bright green doors? :)

The vanity & laundry units went in last week, but have finally got some photos to upload. The laminate is Laminex New Graphite, and the surface is Fresh Snow.

Lots Happening!

It's been a while since the last post, but there's been plenty happening on site.

We got a call from our SS last Friday and the update was, front doors now on and the waterproofing has been done. We have reached lock up stage! The pictures will be bad quality 'through the window shots' from now on.

Got another call from our SS today (take note other builders!) advising that the Kitchen would be going in, and would we like to meet on site tomorrow. Yes please!

When we went to have a look this evening we got a nice surprise... the kitchen cabinets are all done, the internal doors are in with some of the architraves, and it looks like the tiles have all been delivered and are ready to go. Also the balcony railings are in. We paid a bit extra to upgrade them to a polished chrome finish and they look very nice and shiney indeed. :)

Ok so on to the important stuff... the photos.

Well everything is still moving along at a great pace. The stairs were installed today, along with all the cornicing and the garage door. It really does feel like a house now. Keep up the good work Wisdom!

More Plastering...

They've done a bit of plastering over the joins in the gyprock, which makes it feel like a proper house inside now:
