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!!

An update....
With our house sold, a 30 day settlement and the mad hunt for a rental, the last thing I've had time for is to update my blog.
So whilst I procrastinate packing the last of our possessions to make the move over this weekend and Monday, I thought an update was in order!
We've approved our 2nd set of plans to now go to the SCR committee, and then onto DA approval with council.
Work is progressing in our street, it's still fenced off, so we can't get up there, but each week we drive up to the gates and peer over. There is asphalt being laid, pipes being placed in the ground and machinery buzzing around up there.
The golf course clubhouse is progressing well, and we're hearing that it will open in April next year.
We're looking forward to being able to walk 250m down the road to the clubhouse for dinner or lunch in the future.
We believe that our land will settle in February/March 2012, so we've got some time to save some money and work through our internal colour selections and tile selections.
Now for our exterior colour selections:
Bricks - BORAL - Blackheath
Mortar - Off white/Raked
Tiles - Monier Elabana profile in Barramundi
Guttering - Ironstone
Fascia - Paperbark
Downpipe/Rainwater Tank - Ironstone
Windows/Flyscreens - Paperbark
Cladding - Taubmans Coffee Break
Garage Door - B&D Panelmasta Contemporary - Merino (Paperbark)
Front door - Corinthian Doors - Pivot door
So I guess I had best be off, more boxes to pack!!
Until next time....
