Waterproofing in the rain

Things have been moving along nicely on the house.  The brickies have been slowed down by the rain, (I think they're more annoyed them me) but will be finished tomorrow.

The fancy bricks are on site, and the front pillars will be erected tomorrow.  I can't wait to see them!

In other news, the waterproofing was completed in the bathrooms and laundry ready for the tiler to start this time next week.

I'm driving around with the feature tiles in my boot, as they're too heavy to remove from the car!  Another thing that I can't wait to see installed.

So, we're definitely moving forward.  The chippies should be around some time this week and the kitchen cabinetry is due Friday.  Wow!

Until next time...

Plaster Master

Well, what a week it has been!

The brickies have been on site since Monday morning and the plasterers since Tuesday morning.  I am absolutely in love with the house right now!!!



The bricks in view will be rendered, hence their dodginess.  The fancy bricks for the front pillars haven't arrived yet.  They are amazeballs!

We've never had high ceilings before, and, let me tell you, we'll never go back to standard ceilings.

View from top of entry hall to front door.  Quite possibly my favourite part of the house.
Family/Meals/Kitchen.  I've decided to adopt the title 'Great Room'.  Much quicker and easier to say!

Meals space niche.  It is huge, and awesome.  We are planning on fitting this out with a custom piece of mirror.  I don't even want to think about the dollars involved here...

Niche from another angle.  It actually has quite a deep shelf, too.

Ensuite - it is looking massive, and the bath is soooo deep!  If I had my way, I'd never leave the Master Suite!

Master Bedroom
It rained today, so I suppose that hamstrung the brickies a bit.  Hopefully they'll be able to make a dent in the job tomorrow.
