lots to do....but a life time to do it!
Wow....neglectful Mardi....
In all the excitement and fuss at the end...I never did record the final stages....ooops...
So here is a mini....after the event catch-up.....for my own record if nothing else...
..the panel door...and the paths are poured.... it makes a huge difference to the finished look of the house.....
....the carpets were laid.... I love the rich chocolate brown against the white walls... here is our room.... looking into the ensuite....and a shot of Mitch's room....possibly the tidiest it will ever be.
.... the kitchen....
...and my scrap room....
Pretty much all finished ready for us to move in.....

...and after the long weekend...
....its time to update some photos.... it was a nice feeling on Sunday to sweep it all clean.....the tiles are so white and shiny....and everything sparkled......but by the time I took these photos last night.....the tradesmen had been back....and it had that walked on look again (which is quite ok...I'm so glad the tradesmen had been)
So..... the Painter have almost finished....they are just completing the bathrooms...and some door frames....then I guess a little more painting outside...
The Tiler has finished..... and now we are just waiting on the shower screens and accessories....
The Plumber needs to return and connect everything up...
The Electrician needs to do the same...
The paths and driveway will hopefully be poured soon...
The roller doors have been ordered ....
Tank has been ordered.....but still hasn't arrived....luckily it hasn't rained...so we haven't missed anything.
The builders put in the Air conditioner dropper....and Ian and Brent have the Air Con on the roof...ducting in the ceiling....and at some stage need to install all the outlets....
...anyway....photos are..... the kitchen looking from the end of the family room.....I cant wait for the plastic drop sheets to come down....and for the range hood to be istalled....
Thiis one is looking toward the front door.....
The kids bathroom....which looks very brown in this photo...when in fact its quite white looking IRL...the splashback tiles are white colour not a tan.
A view from the main bedroom into the ensuite..... and walk in robe to the side
The Family room from the Kitchen....
Its getting closer.....and my packing isnt....I need to MAKE myself pack....I just cant yet...I think its because it still doesn't seem real.

...and yesterday...
The Quoins were added...
The verandah was added...
The plumbers worked on the stormwater
The Tiler completed the main bathroom walls and began grouting the Kitchen splashback.
The Painter worked on the main living area....and painted in some feature walls....
The Electrician even showed up for a few minutes...
The Cabinet maker phoned to check on the profile and colour of the robe doors...
The tank is to be delivered on the 3rd March.... not bad seeing as Pat ordered it weeks and weeks before christmas.
Ian and I began our carpet choices..... we are thinking a rich chocolate in the lounge... and a dark coffee colour for the bedrooms.... our first quote should be back today.....
... I just love how rich this wall in the lounge room came up......
....and this one in the living room was too pale......so we have another triple strength coat coming up on here..... love that colour though....

So here is where we are up too.....
The Bricklayer has finished.... it looks just as we imagined..... only the cream quoins to be added and its done.
The Painter is making amazing progress.....all the ceilings are almost complete..... and the majority of the house has had an undercoat. I chose some colours today for feature walls in the family....lounge and main bedroom.... that will be exciting to see.
The Tiler has been there two days....and OMG.... the bathrooms and laundry are taking shape.... and the kitchen splash back is done..... it looks just as we imagined and the glass mosaic tiles I was nervous about ....look wonderful too.
The Builder...is adding the verandah on the front today.... and finishing off eaves.... doors and door fittings...
The Plumber is there this morning working on the storm water pipes and drainage....
The cabinets makers have fitted all the cupboards and there is just a few robe doors and finishing jobs to do...
so...here are a few piccies...... the main bathroom...
...the laundry....
....my kitchen....that Im so rapt with.... cant wait to see the rangehood canopy up on the wall....and the tiles grouted.
.....the ensuite bathroom...
.....another view of the kitchen....
... Im looking forward to taking some more photos tonight..... the verandah will be finished....and the tiler will no doubt amaze us once again...

....and this week...
...the progress continues... the house it now totally gyprocked....the bricklayer is working his way around the house....and is over half way....in fact I need to get my camera out again..... my photos are already out of date. That can be tomorrow afternoons job.
We spent some time at the house tonight.... Dad and Mum....and all the kids.... we swept and swept to try and get some of the dust off the floor.... I cant wait for lock up.... hopefully that will stop some of the dust filling every nook and crevice.
...so the cabinets are all final and ordered.
The vanity basins....bath and toilets ordered.
The tiles chosen...just waiting for the quote to see if we can afford my choices.....eeeek
The ceiling fans and outdoor lights are ordered.
The laundry tub to be finalised..... Im waiting to see if I have space for a draining board with it.
We need to meet with Pat this week to choose doors and locks.
and our latest major decision.... paint colours! ...any suggestions for a nice white?
