1, 2, skip a few, 99, 100

One hundred posts, already!!  And the house isn't even finished yet!

The eaves are half way up, the tiles have been delivered, and the garage door is in.

Thanks to everyone for their support and advice thus far.  As any of you have built will know, there is still a looooong way to go, so I look forward to your ongoing help and assistance as this project continues.

I'm off to find a strong man to help me unload the feature tiles from my boot...

Chippies at work

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

The cabinetry was delayed last week, so it is now looking like a Monday/Tuesday job.  All the skirtings, archs and doors were done on Thursday and Friday, though.  It's starting to look like a real house.

Here are some pics...

Linen Cupboard shelving (with someone hiding inside!)

Pantry door

Pantry shelving.  To the right is a bare wall, which will house a little charging station and on the next adjacent wall will be space for the calendar and school notes etc.  It will be the organisational hub of the home, but totally hidden away.  Love!

More pantry shelving

Rumpus room door

Also, the mortar on the fancy bricks is looking better with each passing day.  The fact that the render is curing and lightening is also helping, as it is looking closer in depth to the colour that it will be painted.

So, Monday and Tuesday will bring a garage door and cabinetry.  The tiler will start on Wednesday.

I wonder if the painters are booked in for next week???

Have a fantastic week!

Rockin' the render

Thursday saw the renderers rockin' their work!  I drove past at 8:39am and they were literally nearly finished the job!  Granted, they were only required to do the front facade, but seriously, that's commitment.

No internal shots, as the chippie was still working when we did our afternoon drive-by.  Hopefully we'll be able to take share photos of KITCHEN CABINETRY!!!!!! in the next post!

Welcome to our newest followers, Lizzie and Nellie.  Welcome, ladies!

Stay dry, peeps!

PS: Pillars are looking better already.  Thanks for all your words of encouragement on the last post.

A salesperson is not necessarily a designer...

You know when you shouldn't let someone talk you out of something, but somehow it happens anyway?

For some reason, I didn't go hard enough on my desire for off white mortar on our feature brick pillars.

It will look a lot better once the render is applied to the remainder of the facade, so I think I'll just get over it.  (That, and I might just go and check the contract, just in case...)

The more I look at them, the more I realise that I love them anyway.  I just hope Husband is happy with them, as they were his must have on this build.

I hope you're all having a great week!
