Sorry for not updating for so long.. pretty flat out during and after the move...Fence, Driveway, Lights and some window coverings are in.. Landscaping planned for later this month...though there isn't much to do in the front as I have concreted almost 80% in the front with an entry and exit..built a new cross over as well..
Will update internal pics soon..

Week-19 to 23 update

It has been a while we have posted an update..due to obvious reasons... there hasn't been much work happening over the Christmas period. There was no work at all for 2 weeks after Christmas but it has slowly started picking up after the first week of new year.


The internal paint work is all complete now... will post a few pics on that soon..


Garage work will be completed by next week and the tiling will also start during next week...
Two other major works include electrical and plumbing fittings..

The rendering has started yesterday and will take about a week to finish... YES .. it is all happening and hopefully we should get the keys in early March (as per S/S) but he will confirm after tiling is complete.

A few pics with half rendered front (& guys working on it :) and also find the new front doors..

Fixing almost complete (Week-18)

Went to the house yesterday and was quite surprised to find the carpenter working on the weekend (with heavy rain outside)...He was fixing the BIRs and skirting...Kitchen, ensuite and remaining cabinets are all fixed during the week...so not long before the Fixing stage is complete. Project seems to be on schedule and maybe even delivered prior to scheduled date...will have to ask Supervisor on Tuesday about the dates...
Remaining major work:
- Painting
- Garage frames & roof
- Front Rendering
- Electrical fittings
- Plumbing finishing & taps etc
- Tiling
- Mirrors and Shower screens

Kitchen (Above & below) - Burnished wood cabinets below bench top and oyster linea overhead cupboards...stone benchtop still to be installed...Pantry door in the middle in below pic.

Ensuite - Oyster linea for the whole lot...

Decorative columns..

Stairs & Doors are fitted :) Mid week (18) update

Last nite when we went home for our usual rounds (after 3 days) we were quite surprised to find stairs and downstair doors are all fitted...Stairs have come up really well..better than what we were anticipating and just as good as we hoped that we will get...Took lots of pics and spent over an hour there...feel like going back and checking them out again... :) :)




Media Room Doors

Room Under Stairs : Looks quite big now :)

Week-17 update

All the scafolding is taken off and all plaster work is completed now.

LOCKUP complete (week-15 & 16)

All the brickwork is now complete and home is at lockup...A big fat invoice to be paid now...almost 1/3rd of total building cost.

Home Theatre Pre-wiring by Rod

Pre-wiring was completed last week and as promised here is the seperate post..
gr8 work done by Rod (& Matt). We are quite happy with all the wiring and excited about all the new gear that will be installed after we move in.

The only sad thing on the day (other than fixing the sound insulation) was Rod jumping off a wobbling ladder and landing his foot on the half brick where he almost dislocated his ankle. Hi ankle bone almost came off but lucky that he could pull it back in place before the ambos came. I am sure that would have been like hell...I am glad that it was not a serious accident....and it didn't happen at my place...also he has to come back to finish my part-2 :)

GET WELL SOON ROD.

Wiring completed for
7.1 setup in theatre
2 wall mounts with central control for all the boxes (foxtel, dvd etc) in the theatre room ... a lot of cables run for this ...
5 x 2 speakers for different rooms (incld alfresco) with volume control knobs and the main control back to the theatre room hub... will buy marantz 7002 which can do a second zone as well.
HDMI cable from study to theatre to stream PC contents + More..

Rod with initial setup..
Media room hub ... all the required gear for HT and other rooms will go here.

Matt taking pics after the final work.
