ELECTRICIAN + CARPENTERS HAVE VISITED

An electrician was working on the bathrooms today, they have also put holes in the walls....everywhere. When I walked in I thought we had been vandalised, see the kitchen piccie.
 Yesterday the carpenters were putting skirting board up and the sliding robe doors in. We haven't had the cornices installed yet, is that normal or are they waiting for the kitchen and bulkheads???

Wardrobe Doors and skirting board

Kitchen wall with heaps of important holes. The roof is also holey.

WATERPROOFING

Water proofing of the bathrooms was completed today.

Im not sure what was happening on the weekend but there were some gyprockers on site on Sunday????. I just can't figure it out.

Also I have finally taken a picture of the front door and realised there is a mistake. There is meant to be a sidelite (a long glass panel) to the left but it has been forgotten. I really don't care and prefer it without the sidelite as it makes little difference to the building and I think it is safer as you can smash through a sidelite but not brick. :) all happy!!!!

Front door- no sidelite (don't want it now anyway)

Edited: I just noticed what the gyprockers were doing. They have gyprocked the porch roof and put the headland flashing on. It starting to look great.

LANDSCAPING MEETING

Our SS rang on Friday to say it is time to think about landscaping. I happened to be home as my eldest was unwell. I met with Wisdom Landscapers on site and they went through what we are going to do and I had to make a few decisions on materials. The boundary fence is council specified to be 1800mm high, double brick boral murray grey. It will block a lot of northern light out, so I am going to ask council if I can put a few large glass bricks in. Don't know what the chances of them allowing it are...

Next week the builders are finishing off the skirtings and doors and waterproofing the bathrooms.

DOORS ON- I THINK WERE LOCKED UP

It was dark by the time I got to the house today. All internal doors had been installed except for the sliding wardrobe ones. The hidden laundry door was in and the front door was on with an ugly old lock on it. I don't think they will put the pretty door handle on as it may be stolen. The nice finishes go on last of all. How fast are Wisdom Homes building, I am fortunate to have the best SS.

STAIRS & GARAGE ROOF

Today the stairs were installed, the kids are so disappointed, they were hoping we would use a ladder and firemans pole. Yesterday the Garage roof was completed and the whirly bird retrieved and replaced. Im am so happy with how the house is looking and the pace the build is going, a big thank you to our SS.

Stairs being completed. They will be carpeted as I wanted to mute the clumping sound

The garage on the southern side now has a roof.
The council would only allow a single garage (roll eyes).

Sunny house

OUR WHIRLY BIRD FLEW AWAY..bye bye birdy bye bye

Our neighbour rang this morning to say he has caught our whirly bird, we had gale force winds on the weekend and our whirly bird landed in his backyard. He has been a builder for 40 years and said besides the whirly bird incident the Wisdom Homes build is exceptional. He said the brickies did a great job and the house is solid and sound. It is great to get affirmation as I thought it looked good.

The digger is working in our backyard today, I think they may be doing a clean up and landscaping but the dunny is in the middle of the lane, it sort of looks like the tardis, but the Australian version.

OUR HOUSE IS PLASTERED

The gyprockers and plasterers came today (on a Saturday) and again worked flat out. Here is a photo fest of what has been done today. It's so exciting to actually have walls.
