Shelving and splash back

When I got to the house today the front door and Garage door were open so I was able to do a walk through. I was very pleased to see the shelving had all gone in and the splash back in the kitchen was up.

Pretty much all of the shelving/railing had been installed throughout the house. We also get our water tank put into place (not plumed in yet).

I was actually considering not going to the house this week at all but my schedule has me down that way every night so I think I may as well just call in to check on the progress. Not much to be done now at all but every little bit counts!

Bits and pieces.

There's only a small amount of things to be done now. The painters have been back doing touch ups and the Ensuite mirror was installed and the flooring should be compleated this week.

It was also nice to see the toilet gone from out the front. 

And the final piece of good news, we have booked our inspection for Friday this week. Can't wait to have our walk through with the house being finished (apart from the little things we want fixed up). I'm not sure if I'll be out to the house much this week. I am thinking to just wait until our inspection. 

Flooring almost there

The flooring crew were still working away when I got to the house today so I was able to sneak in and get a good look around. The flooring looks great. It really does make the house feel homely. Very happy with the quality of everything too.

The slab for the rain water tank was also poured. We will be getting a 5,000 liter tank which is plumbed to the toilets and connected for garden watering. 

We should be very close to our first inspection now. Our site supervisor mentioned he'll know more by Monday and should be able to book in the inspection date. Can hardly wait!

Electrics and roller door

It's getting to the point where once the floor is in, parts of the house would be completed. All the plugs, switches, lights and smoke detectors went in today.

We chose to go with the standard lights rather then down lights due to their cost as an upgrade. We will most likey have our own electrician some time in the near future do the main rooms, then installation to the rest of the house will have to be at a later date. 

It was also nice to see the roller door on. I think that pretty much completes what the front exterior if the house will be like... Minus that horrid outdoor loo that's still in the front. 

The flooring is supposed to start tomorrow if it is still on schedule. We've got floating floors through the front entrance, hallway, kitchen, dining and family room, and carpets throughout the rest. I'm a bit worried I'm not going to like to colour of the floor. I guess we'll soon find out. 

Plumbing

Most of the plumbing was done today. I couldn't get photos of the bathtub, shower screens and toilets but was able to make them out (albeit extremely blurry) by looking through the frosted bathroom windows. However, I was able to get some shots of the Tap fittings through the normal windows.

All our down pipes have also been installed. 

Our site supervisor also called to let us know the garage roller door will go in tomorrow as well as the electrics. Then followed by the flooring this week too. Going to be a busy week that's for sure. 

Bench Tops

Well this is a first. Two posts in one day. It has been an eventful day house wise with getting our hand over date, and more work done at the house. Unfortunately, the house was locked up so I couldn't get a good look at the benches but it was still great to see from the windows.

I am looking forward to seeing the floor go in as it will really change the feel of the place again. Plus it means we'd be just around the corner from moving in.

Upcoming Schedule

Our Site Supervisor called again today with an update on the progress, and to let us know the upcoming schedule over the next few weeks. No Photo's in this one, just an update.

I think some time this week the measurements for the Showers, Mirrors and glass Splash back should be done.  These will take about 2 weeks or so before they are installed. Towards the end of this week, the Electrician should finish all the points and lighting.  Early Next week the Plumber should be doing the fit out of the bathrooms and toilets.  After that, the Floating floors are booked in (Takes about 3 days to do), followed by the carpets.  I think some time between now and then the Caesar Stone Bench tops are to go in too.

And now the best for last!  After that, we have our first inspection. If all goes well (Which I'm sure it will), the Site Supervisor has said we will be leaning towards handover for.... wait for it.... the 20th March!!!

Yup you read correct. 20th of March!!! 3 Weeks.... Give or take based on how smoothly things go between now and then, and of course if nothing major is to be done from our inspection.

Oh my gosh. I'm still suffering from hot flushes after the chat with the Site Supervisor. We've got plenty of things we need to do between now and then so I think it's time to start packing! I'm swinging by the house again tonight but I don't know if anything will have been done so will only do another post if I notice anything.
