Theres been some changes....

since we moved in eight months ago.
So....I was thinking.... it might be interesting to continue the journey of our home via this blog....
So how about some updated photos...

...then we moved in....

...as you can tell by this jumbled mix of photos...






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.....

...should add..

Shower screens are now installed...and look fabulous
Mirrors are installed....also fabulous
Painters almost finished
Front door sidelights and front door installed....and painted.
Air conditioner on roof and dropper painted.
Boards around the outside ready for concrete paths.

Still no
roller doors
no tank
plumber second fix
electrical second fix

...but its getting closer and closer....very exciting.

...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 sideThe 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.

Slack bum didnt update...sorry...

...so here is a quick update...
and its a bit old hat now...as all these tiles are grouted and looking fabulous now..... so much different...

but here is the laundry.......the main bathroom vanity...

The front door is on...
The Air conditioner is on the roof...

painters have been back painting the bathrooms....

...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....
