The Land

People have been asking about the land, so here's a view of the front and a panorama of the backyard.

Painting

The house has been prepped for painting, and the primer coat has been sprayed all through the house. The painting is moving slowly forward. Hopefully it will pick up speed this week. We're really excited to be getting into our new home.

Interior work

The exterior bricking hasn't been finished yet because apparently they ran out of bricks, but they've got a couple more pallets in now, so hopefully it will be done soon. But what's been done so far looks fabulous, and we're very happy with the color scheme we picked out. The interior is progressing quickly though. Door frames, window frames, sills, and skirting boards are being installed now. It's in a semi-locked up state now. The kitchen is being installed, and we're very excited with the licorice color we've picked. The shelving in the butlers pantry is in, although they made a mistake and installed the shelving on one side that we'd asked not to be there. The bathroom cabinets and basins are in. I'm surprised the tiling hasn't been started yet since the waterproofing was done last week, but i see some of the metal edging for the tiling is down, so maybe that will be happening this week.

Interior progress

While the brickwork still isn't progressing the interior has been moving in leaps and bounds. The waterproofing is going in the wet areas, and the tiles have been delivered, and are ready for installation in the bathrooms and laundry area. The ceiling scotia has been completed throughout the house. No sign of the skirting boards yet, but I'm not sure if they're waiting for the floor tiles to go in before doing that? Rob was saying she'd seen the kitchen fitout being delivered the other day, so that could well be in soon too. The brickwork should be resuming soon, since the Termimesh looks like it's finally been installed, and glass pieces have been poured into the footing spaces around the pad and behind the base layer of bricks.
