And now for the photos!

After my post this afternoon I was lucky enough to find the house open after the kids finished school! We had electricians wiring up the lights, switches and powerpoints, carpenters putting in the kitchen and bathroom cupboards, and we'd just missed the plumber who had put in the bath! So lots of activity which was exciting to see :)

The linen press (with it's own light...it's huge in there!!), and the bathroom cupboard:

Bath (we have a 3 way bathroom):


Kitchen:



And ensuite vanity:


I talked to the electrician for a little while, we thinks we aren't far from the house being finished which was strange to hear...I have had in my mind about 10-12 weeks, he thinks more like 6 weeks or less. We'll see. They finish wiring up tomorrow I suppose, the kitchen only needs to have cupboard doors put on. The tilers are the next to start and then we get our second coat of paint.

Painting, doors and kitchen delivery...

As the title says, that's what has happened in the last week :) The kitchen arrived a week later than we thought it would, so we probably assumed the wrong week I'd imagine! We have had the walls painted, the internal doors have been hung (did I mention that last post? Can't remember :S ), and the kitchen arrived yesterday. It will probably be installed next week, I have yet to talk to the site supervisor about it.
Sorry, no photos today, only an update. I haven't been in the house for about a week now as no-one's been working there when I visit. I hope to get a photo opportunity next time I cross paths with a friendly tradesman working there :)

Gyprocking begins!

I am a little behind again with pictures, we reached lock up last week however these pictures are from the week prior. I am getting lazy with my photos, especially since things are moving in earnest now. I find each time I visit there's something else done, and I have left the camera at home, again!
So, for the reason that things are moving fast, and I am a bit slow with updating, I have a bit to catch up on in this post!

This is after the electricians did the wiring, and the insulation had been installed:


And the front of the house, with the brickwork completed:


Gyprocking in the lounge room:



Looking down the hallway into Ryan's room:


And Andrew in the kitchen area:


These pictures were from over a week ago, we now have the walls flushed, the cornices and skirtings done, and all doors have been installed. It's been great to be able to see just how big the rooms are, we really have a feel for the size of the house now. We are awaiting a kitchen delivery, which I understood was meant to happen yesterday. Hopefully by next week it will be installed, I am really keen to see how it looks as the kitchen was a huge area of deliberation for us when we were doing our colour selections.
