Long overdue update

We have been away for a couple of weeks (getting married etc.) and it has been a long time without an update. We had a slight setback when we had some tiles and a basin stolen but we are now back on track. The house is moving along well and whilst we have yet to receive an official completion date, I am guessing we are 3-4 weeks away from handover. The ceilings have been fitted in the garage and the alfresco, the kitchen bench top has been installed and the tiling has been done (both floor and wall tiles) and we are happy with our selections. They have also stained our timber bi folds that lead out to the alfresco and have painted our front door.

 

The things yet to be done are the electrical fit off, laying the carpets, the cabinetry in the wardrobes, painting of the render and the final finishing touches. I am heading out to get a quote on a driveway this afternoon.

 

Work has commenced on the block next door and their slab has been laid. I haven’t met the new neighbour  yet but I am hoping their house gets built quickly so we don’t have tradies making a mess on our block.

well a wedding is no real excuse for ignoring a blog - what kinda people are you!!! kidding

congats on that!

As for the house, yours seems to be where ours is, cept we are doing our own floor coverings and we don't have any render. So perhaps ours will finish quicker than yours??? we'll see! Your dark tiles are like ours (cept we have cream above counters).
