Inside Progress

During the last week or so, there has seemed to be minimal progress. There have been different vehicles there all week this week so we knew things were happening, but we weren't sure to what extent. We had been counting down to Wednesday (yesterday) when my husband was meeting with our SS, to get a tour and an all important update. 

Upstairs Bathroom Shower Screen Installed

We wondered why they left the tile off the side of the bath hob - it obviously has something to do with the installation of the bath. Our SS explained to my husband that they cut a whole in the plaster to access the drain and connect it all. Hadn't thought how they would do that! Doesn't it just go in!!

Bathroom Tastic (heater and light)

Upstairs Bathroom Mirror.

I'll get a better photo next time. We extended the mirror so it covered the entire wall (not just the width off the vanity). You can never have enough mirror with girls......!!

Upstairs Powder Room

Mirror in, grouting done, waterproofing done, massive hole in the wall - done, extremely dusty - done!!

The Downstairs Powder is the Same - minus the hole in the wall!!

Theatre Wires Capped Off (is that an offical term - capped off. I may have just made that up... 

Happy they have pulled out the bottom left, right and centre speaker wires. Hopefully my husband doesn't have to punch 100 holes in the walls to find the rest. The term 'Like a needle in a hay stack,' comes to mind.....

Lounge windows look marginally cleaner - might have been the rain as they haven't been cleaned yet.

Plastering should happen next week - they were due last week. 

Then the glass splashback can go in (Butlers).

Plastering to be done here too (Kitchen).

Pretty excited about the pantry shelves!

Upstairs Activity Room - Niche on left for bookshelf and on right for desk/work-space for girls

Ensuite Mirror in! 

Surprised at the height of it - happy surprised! We raised the roof height to 2740mm so we didn't know if the mirror would also be higher. It is always the width of the vanity, but height wasn't something we had thought of. 

Still waiting on the correct size window with hardwood reveals in the shower. A & L, have made error after error with it. Right size, wrong reveals, then wrong size, right reveals, then wrong size and wrong reveals! Unbelievable! It will be here soon though...

Our Walk In Robe! 

So excited to have this space. Don't get me wrong, we had an amazing home previous to building this house. Full of love and character; but for 11 years my wardrobe (not walk in), had doors that you had to lift off the hinges to shut and I kept my underwear basically in a Tupperware container in a cavity space that you smashed your head on every second day. We can do a happy dance in this wardrobe!

The Girls Wardrobe - 

Going to add an extra rail in here (lower) and round the corner so they can use it independently before they turn 16! I can also use their clothes as 'time out' up high - if ever required!!!

Same in the Other Room

We chose not to put the drawer combinations in the further two bedrooms. One will be used for a guest room and the guests can deal with the rails! The two spare rooms actually have the larger WIR but the rooms the girls chose are definitely in the better position for light, heat and position. And their WIR's are not exactly shabby in size either. 

Outside tiles delivered and ready to go 

Eco Alabster Grigio Porcelain 300 x 600 

Can't believe I left this photo till last. Maybe because of my husbands poor photography skills in the photo (I'm bound for backlash after that!). The bricks above the upstairs door have been done!!!! Hooray!!!!

Let the rendering and tiling begin! 

The site has also been scraped and cleared! I'll get better photos of this tomorrow. The end is near...ish!!
