Hope everyone has been enjoying the festive season and making most of their time off. PD have a 2 week shutdown period which ends today but I somehow find it hard to believe that our tradies will be back into the full swing of things until next week. So we managed to get inside through an unlocked door and took a heap of snaps of the house. It is progressing nicely I must say.
So to end off 2015 we can also tick off
- Bathroom tapware, showers and mirrors installed
- Tiling looks to be 95% complete. The grout work is questionable though.
- Garage walls plastered
- Electrical fit out nearly completed
- Alfresco drain fitted
- Wall under the staircase frame work commences
- External rendering completed
- Garage doors fitted
 |
| Kitchen Sink: Teknobilli Oz T7 300 pull out sink mixer Upgrade cost $328 |
 |
| Downstairs Bathroom: Nikles Fresh twin rail shower & Como Grey Tiles Upgrade cost $310 |
 |
| Shower exhaust fan (standard) We also upgraded to have the tiles go all the way to the ceiling. |
 |
| Downstairs Bathroom - Mizu Drift Wall Mixer against the Exagon Milk Tile I must say I'm a little underwhelmed with this tile. It was suppose to be our feature wall as well. Maybe I need to see the whole room finished before I pass judgement. Grout work needs to be finished here. |
 |
| Master Ensuite Shower with Como Grey Tiles The tiles look lighter in real life. Really happy with the tile selection. Didn't do the double shower option. I know its probably better for resale value but practically we'll never use it. haha . We plan is to install a vertical towel rack opposite the shower so you can dry yourself in the shower without having to go out and wet the bathroom floor. Yeah I'll do anything to avoid more cleaning. |
 |
| Master Ensuite Double Vanity Mizu soothe chrome basic mixer (Upgrade $46 each) and Kado arc inset basin (Upgrade $24 each) |
 |
| Standard bathtub in the main bathroom A lot of people I know upgrade to the freestanding bathtub which obviously looks 100X better but for me I know I'll hardly use it so decided to spend the money elsewhere. |
 |
| Heatastic light heater thingy in the bathroom Honestly I don't even remember agreeing to this one as it's something you can do after handover cheaply. |
 |
| Internal junction boxes for our hallway. They are suppose to be 2m apart. From this angle it looks a lot closer. The plan is to hang 2 of these Standford light nickel wall lamps on either side of a console table.  |
 |
| Alfresco drainage |
 |
| Wardrobe Fitouts |
 |
| Bedroom 2 Walk in Robe |
 |
| Upstairs Linen |
 |
| I believe this is the heating vent which is located outside the Master Room which I think is a bit odd. Something I did not check during Tender/Contracts. |
 |
| Completely missed this during tender. Its a frequented walk area so I would have preferred it somewhere else. Not sure if it could have been changed but I wish I asked. |
 |
| Fridge area with cold water tap provisioning We don't have one of those fancy fridges which makes ice and cold water but we provisioned it for our next fridge which will probably be in another 10 years. bahahaha |
 |
| Staircase lighting with sensors |
 |
| Can't wait to see it light up |
 |
| External water tap. |
 |
| Rendering to whole house is finally done. |
 |
| Render colour is dulux champignon |
 |
| Mouldings still need to be painted a shade lighter than the render (Colour Doe) |
