Are we there yet?

Nope, but we're very, very close!  (PS: The title wasn't a complaint!)

Our walk through is scheduled for Tuesday, 30 April and then handover on 8 May.  Ho.ly.cow!  This build has gone so well and so quickly.  We couldn't be more pleased!

May is going to be one crazy month, but again, no complaints from me.  Here are some photos of nearly completed spaces...

Front door.  The shadow doesn't really do it justice.

Alfresco ceiling fan - LOVE!

Ensuite shower

Ensuite vanity

Laundry

Wardrobe doors.  I just love the glossiness of them!!

So, that's where we're at!  We have one small problem, though - the exterior of the house has been painted the wrong colour!!!  The spec says one colour (the correct colour) and then the painter asked Husband to sign another form stating that he was happy with the colour that had actually been painted (in a very small section).  Of course, he signed the form, as I had sort of fobbed my way through the conversation with him, thinking it was only the undercoat.  Bad wife!  So, we'll follow that up and see what happens...

I hope you've had a great weekend!

A little bit of tiling. A little bit of cabinetry.

Due to popular demand, here are some pics of the cabinetry, which landed and was installed at our place today.

Kitchen (sans benchtop and looking quite 'blah', really!)

Back wall of kitchen

Lift up door to appliance cupboard

So, you may have read previously that our builder wouldn't allow the gloss finish to the white cabinets.  We had decided that we'd just replace the drawer and door fronts later on.  However, it doesn't look as bad as I anticipated, so this job will fall out of the 'straight away' category and onto the 'to do later' list.

The tiler also got started today, and was really knowledgeable, and nice!

Ensuite shower floor

Laundry cabinet and floor tiles.  We didn't opt for stone in here, as most of the slab would have been cut out for the tub.

The floor tiles in the main bathroom, which were still being done as we were leaving this afternoon, were looking a little bit anaemic, but looking at the photo above, they look great once they meet up with the woodgrain cabinetry.  (Note: They are a bone colour, but look almost white in this pic)  I am also feeling quite confident given that the laundry cabinet is quite similar in colour to the main floor.

So, it really is starting to look like a real house!

The painter will start prepping on Friday, pending the completion of his current job.  Wow!  I can't wait to see the wall colour!!!!!!
