HAPPY NEW YEAR - 2011

Happy and Safe New Year to all our Blogger friends and fellow new home builders. 

May 2011 bring a timely finish to those already under construction and smooth transition to your new home.  To the many waiting to commence, enjoy the journey.

We've had such fun sharing our building experience and look forward to our new adventure at 'The Avenue'.

CABINETS AND FIXING

After a two and half day saga on cabinet handles imagine our surprise this evening to find the brickies working late, house open, skirtings, architraves and doors almost completed and our cabinets installed - minus the elusive handles, caesarstone benchtops and overhead perspex doors.

I was beyond excitement even in their skeletal, grimey and dusty glory. Can't wait to see the colours come together all shiney and new.

Both showers had also been waterproofed in preparation for tiling.

FRAME COMPLETED - WINDOWS INSTALLED

Frame completed - awaiting inspection. Windows installed and roof tiles delivered. Site Supervisor 'Gary' called to introduce himself - arranged an introduction meeting and walkthru inspection for next Tuesday. Gutters and fascias to be installed before roof tiling next week.  Also, met our back neighbours - waiting on imminent Title of land to begin construction.  SE Water moved our meters and taps, now we don't see them from inside the front door. Site and house clean - excellent job.

Master Bedroom Windows

C'mon In

Great tradesmen - look how clean they left it

FRAME

What a surprise - we didn't expect to see any framework this side of Melbourne Cup plus it has not stopped raining!  Two guys hard at work who had been working Saturday as well.  Informed us they will be finished tomorrow night and roof trusses Wednesday. WOW!

More action in readiness for the slab.  Met our lovely neighbour 'Jeane' who's Lot was scraped today. Faringdon Crescent has been a buzz of activity with water meters, pegs and site cuts taking shape.
