THE END IS NEAR

Just some pictures of the interior paint we took earlier in the week. Paint is called chalk beige which we have used for all of the walls. We went back yesterday for a peek through the windows and all our tiles have been laid. They just have to come back next week to do the grout. Some of our interior door handles have been put on as well.

We got a letter from Porter Davis that says our house will be at practical completion on the 18th September and we are to have a inspection on this day and about a week later we will have the keys. Awesome. They have done a great job and we cant believe we will be moving in soon.

Now we have to organize carpets, fencing and more furniture to fill the place.

Interior paint and electricals done

The interior paint was finished last week but we can not get in to take photos and the glass is so dirty from the dust there is no point taking them through the window so hopefully we will be able to get in soon to get photos. The colour for the walls is called chalk beige. They have also painted all the guttering and downpipes in the colour glacier grey.


We have all our lights, switches, smoke alarms and heat ducting covers put in.


Our quantum quartz bench top is also in. We can see the tiles have been delivered and we are told they will start laying those at the end of the week and then the guys will put in the toilets, showers and fit the bath as well.


I was told by our site supervisor today the house may be ready in a about month but he will know more once the tiling is done. YAYYYYYYYY. We cant wait.

They still have to paint the render and moulding on the facade but was told that is done last. We chose the colour Bringo for the render and Glacier Grey for the moulding.

They also have to paint the metal part above the garage, over the gable infill, in glacier grey to match the gutters.

Fixing Stage

The photos show they have done all skirting boards and window architraves now and all the doors are hung. Our front door is on too.

We went out today and they have taken the internal doors down and are preparing to paint. Our wooden doors have started to be stained as well.

The void in the wall you see at the back of the first photo looking into the rumpus/theatre room will have a plantation shutter put in it as a feature.

Fixing Stage

We are at fixing stage. Yay. That means we are in the final stage now where they paint and put in all the fittings eg showers, toilets, kitchen bench, tiling, door handles etc. So exciting. Our supervisor said the painters will be in this week hopefully and will take about a week. Will put up photos tomorrow as Nik has not put them on the computer yet.

Inside Our Home Update

We are pleased with how fast things are going inside . Most of the plastering is done. They have put up the mouldings and installed all the cabinets in the kitchen, laundry and bathrooms.

Our kitchen cupboard colours are lemon tree for the top and the bottom cupbooards are south west jarrah. The wrap you see around the front is called cappucino. They will not put the Quantum Quartz benchtop in until later and we have chosen the colour ice for that.

The bathroom cabinets are chocolate pear on top(which is a dark brown but it looks whiteish as it is covered in white dust from their sanding) and the cupboards are straight grain wedge. The double vanity basins are in the ensuite.

The laundry cupboards are vicenza walnut and the formica top is ameretto stone which is also covered in white dust like everything else.

Lockup Complete

We are very pleased with the progress so far. We are so glad we decided on the french doors. We have them off the Rumpus room, Dining Room and Lounge. They are to be stained Antique Cherry along with the laundry door and our front door which they will put in at the finish. We have a temporary front door at the moment.

Inside they have put the insulation in the walls and all the plumbing, electrics and the heating unit and ducting for that are done as well. They have started to put up some of the gib boards and the bath frame is completed.

Next week they should be giving the bricks a special wash which will clean them up.

We are getting the roof flashings and downpipes painted Glacier Grey at some stage as well.

Roof Finished

Our roof is finished and a lot of the brickwork has been done. We should be looking at lock up in the next two weeks.
