Plastering completed (d77)

Week 11
Platering got completed today, apart from two tiny areas underneath the portico eaves. Apparently they are awaiting lead flashings to be fitted before they can fit up. How considerate, the ordinary contractor would have fitted the soffits on then the guy who fitted the flashings would be complaining and ripping the soffits back off.

We should be ready for painting after the tiler is done with the wet area.

Gotta say the fascade looks much better with the garage door in place.

Garage door on, Tiling started (d76)

Today I went around to the property to check things over since it was dry. I took some photos and headed around the house. At the back of the garage is a dead locked door, which I thought was locked until I attempted to turn it, and low and behind I was inside. I stepped inside and took some snaps. I headed home and asked the family, if they wanted to see inside. As it had been about a week since our last visit. We paid particular attention to our colour selection of the cupboards. We were happy.

Locked out (d68)

Today spells the beginning of the end. I was locked out of my own home. I guess there won't be as many photos from here on in. Unless I can gain access inside. MAjority of photos will be taken through the windows.

Looks like the cornices are on, and cabinets installed. Architraves will be fitted on soon I guess.

Ensuite basin
Toilet. Looks like waterproofing has been down.

Water proofing of bathroom
Shower water proof. I've seen other houses where the black resin is applied all over, but here they do the bare minimum over the patched areas.

Laundry also waterproofed
Looking at kitchen. I see the overhead cupboards, and the island bench.

Better view, but mind the reflection


The soffits under the eaves are being fitted. Those timber bits look old, and mouldy.

Sheeted the top of the entrance way.It really improves the look.

Gyprocked (d64)

Fine day and the brick work is dry. Looks great. The brickwork looks a bit lighter than the bottom. Oh well. But me no complain.

The gyprock was finished today with the cornices ready to be attached. All the joins filled and smoothed out.

We are approcahing lock-up stage.

Cupboards/cabinets arrived, ready to be installed. Also looking at the ensuite
