Happy New Year

What lovely weather we are having for the holidays. No work this week by the builder. Little work by Tien. We were suppose to put the cubby house back up and arrange for the fence to be replaced. However everybody seems to be on holidays. Did manage to put the 90mm stormwater pipe (conduit) down the side of the house. That was a great dig. Note to self: when digging trenches, dig backwards (not forwards) - it is MUCH easier!

And we have a number!!

Final kitchen cupboard

More work today. The final kitchen cupboard was installed. This was the one that had to wait for the kitchen bench as it sits on top of the bench. It was not complete though as the fill bits to cover between the top and bulkkhead is not yet installed. So it looks odd but it is in.

The plasterer has also come back to patch the glass splashback area and touched up some spots in bed 1 and also the passageway. This is over the top of our nice first coat and sealer. Hope the painter reseals those patches!

Woohoo work during the "break"

Well we get some work done over the break! There was someone at the house yesterday as there is now a new sign up in the study window. Today they cleaned the fence!

Paint colours

OK before we forget the paint colours are

Bed 1/Study/Library/Home theatre is Solver Clipper Race
Main house is Solver Seagull
Boys room is Solver Rhapsody
Girls room is Fantasy Fair
Front render is Solver Smooth Cream
Eaves is Solver Talc
Door frames and doors is Solver Simply White
Front door is Solver Talc

Someone was at the house today. Bec said that there is a new sign in the study window but no other sign of work. So we'll see what happens tomorrow.

Final Day of Work for 2009

Well today was the last day of work officially for the builder. The painters were back to give the doors a final coat. It looks like they have also given some rooms another coat but hard to tell. They have given the front render another coat and it looks fabulous! Now we can really see how the front of the house will look as they have removed the protective film from the front door glass. Now we are just waiting for the plumber to do his thing....I wonder if he will work over the break? I wonder if there will be ANY work over the next two weeks!

More painting

The painter came back today to do another coat for the door frames and also painted the front render. Now I know why they have not cut in around the door frames! (because they had not done the final coat on the frames).

Tiling Complete

Tiling is complete however the bigger news is that the kitchen bench is finally installed! So photos of the progress to date.
