Day 88 - 31/07/2010

Got a call from the concreter today who asked to meet onsite so we could choose the colour of the driveway. We met him and had a quick chat, he had some good suggestions and left us with a colour chart to get back to him in the next few days. We are thinking of a dark colour with a light border at this stage.

While we were there we noticed that the tilers were there so we went in to say g'day and to check the progress. I think it looks awesome! So happy with our colour choices. The painter should be finished by Monday and the tilers should be finished by the end of this weekend.

Day 85 - 28/07/2010

I spoke to our building supervisor yesterday and he told me that they have started painting inside and should be finished by Friday. He also told us that some of the tiling had been done and a few other bits and pieces. They should start the plumbing and electrical fit-out next week.

I went to the house yesterday and had a walk around, its looking less like a swamp in the backyard now! The have put the downpipes in place but have not connected them yet.

Day 77 - 20/07/2010 - UPDATED.

Not much to report lately but it looks like they are going to start painting soon as they have plastic over the windows and over the kitchen bench. They have also made a start on the right-hand fence. Posts are in!

Day 66 - 09/07/2010

Went to the block today and found that I couldn't get in!! I guess we really are at lockup now which i excellent! They have been doing lots though. They have cleaned up the garden, removed the old bricks and put the security fences back up. They have hung the doors including the front door and the garage doors. From what I can see inside the house they have attached the skirtings, put the shelves in the wardrobes and made a good start on the kitchen. I can see a light at the end of the tunnel now!

Not much to report today but we noticed that they were cleaning the bricks yesterday (On a Sunday!) and they came up really well so I thought i'd post some more pictures of the bricks and the plaster. Can't wait to see what they do next!

Nice and Clean!
