Jestmaster SL550TRSI Gas Fireplace

We weren't sure if the fireplace was counted as an appliance but our SS recently informed us that the fireplace was going in soon (so it obviously isn't). In our previous home, we had a Coonara wood fireplace and it was amazing. It basically burned every night throughout winter and was the only source of heating we ever needed. When it came to choosing the heating for this home we debated for a while whether to do a wood fire or gas. In the end a gas log fire won! Although it won't have exactly the same ambiance (it does a good look alike though!!) or have that ability to burn throughout the night it's going to be great to flick it on in seconds, without filling the house with smoke and the crazy amounts of dust a wood fire accumulates. We have opted for an outdoor fire pit to get out fix of freshly burning wood!!

Not sure if this is the best place for the paperwork!!
When we received the paperwork for our 'New Home Inspection,' it informed us that once we have settled and have the keys that we need to contact both companies that installed the fireplace and the central heating to they can run us through the systems (assuming this is the paperwork for this).

Unfortunately we made an error with the location of our powerpoints etc in the lounge next to the fireplace - on the electrical plan we didn't visualise the fireplace being there. They clearly need to be moved to the left and we will have to do this post handover. We are also going to paint the wall around the fire - the middle section - still deciding on a colour! Dulux Stepney is winning at the moment!

Shower Screen, Taps Changed, Movement with the Fire.

Went past the house over the weekend as my sister has just moved back from WA. We were going to peek through the windows and have a look but we were lucky enough to turn up when the shower screen was being installed in the ensuite; so we ducked in for a quick peek around! A few more jobs ticked off the list!

Top Edge of the Tiles Painted...
It's not finished yet, but the top edge of the tiles has been painted. I thought it was a bit odd at first but the more I thought about it the more it grew on me! The tiles at the house we are renting at the moment catch the dust really harshly as they are not smooth - painting may eliminate this. We looked at the display images as we had never noticed it before and sure enough they are painted - it's funny the things you never notice!

The Lock on Master Bedroom Double Door
Our ceilings are 2740mm high and little ol' me cannot reach this lock!!! Think I might need to buy a step ladder!!
