November Update

Time for a November update....

Since my last update, we've had some action.

After paying for lock up 6 weeks ago... we finally have a front door, and it is so beautiful.

The carpenters had to knock out some bricks at the top of the door for it to fit as the bricklayers had bricked it up for a normal door, not  a pivot door.
The front porch ceiling has now been sheeted and the cladding out the front is finished now.

The carpenters have also been through and done the bulkheads in the kitchen/pantry, and redone the bulkhead over the stairs, as it was too low with the lowered ceiling.
We are thankful that our supervisor picked this up, we're both average height and hadn't realised that tall people would hit their heads on the way down.

The gyprockers have been through and fixed up the bulkheads, some areas to the stairs, downstairs powder room & man hole.

The painters started yesterday, doing the first coat of paint on walls and ceilings.
The gyprockers will be back before they do anymore painting to patch imperfections on the walls etc

Our supervisor phoned yesterday to confirm a few paint things.
We are staining the internal sliding door to the laundry and the external laundry door, the external garage door will also be stained, and the front door will be stained too.

The staircase is going to be stained the same as the display home at Kellyville.
I can't wait to see the staircase unveiled and finished off.

So this weeks action plan is paint & gyprock.

With 6 weeks until Christmas, I am starting to doubt we'll be spending Christmas in our new house.
Maybe Santa will bring me a miracle.... I've been good all year, I promise!!

Lounge Shopping

We bit the bullet and started our furniture shopping last night.

There were a few lounges to buy, and I think we're pretty pleased with the outcome.

This is what we have ordered:

Upstairs Lounge - Colour as pictured

Storage box for the end of our bed in colour below

Warwick - Belize Smoke

Family Room in "Shale" leather x 2

Theatre Room - 4 Seater with Ottoman (2 x recliner & 2 Storage & 2 drink tables) in "Raven"

The good news will be ready in time for Christmas... except the leather lounges, they should arrive in the new year.

In other house news, gyprockers have been working hard all week, they set yesterday with basecoat.

The carpenter is getting there slowly... He managed to do the bulkhead in the entry yesterday.
Still to do rear lower eaves and the trim on the front cladding.

We're on track for fix out carpenters to come through next week!!
