PICTURES OF CARPET

I went around today and the plumber was there and also the maintenance and painters. There are blue dots everywhere throughout the house which are things to be fixed. I had a quick look inside and got some carpet pictures.

It does need a vacuum but I really like how the colour turned out.

As predicted the first thing child #3 did was
slid down the stairs on her bottom.

CARPET IN, BRICKS CLEANED, SECURITY FENCE DOWN

As the title says:
Last Friday the carpet was laid. It was a cold wet day so I hope it's not wet. We cannot get inside to see the results so pictures are forthcoming.

On the weekend the security fence was removed, the place looks so much better without it and it is a lot easier to drive the lane way without it.

Today the bricks were cleaned, they look beautiful.

Western side- security fenceless

The northern side- acid cleaned brick fence

Things to do on this side- paint top of porch, porch steps and guard rail, gates, western slat wall

BRICK WALLS CONTINUE

The council dictated brick walls are almost finished, just a few messy bits to clean up. Tomorrow the carpet is due to be laid. I hope they don't do it as there is a 20-40mm rain forcast.

Im not sure where the steps on the left hand side of the porch are going as they have bricked the garden bed????

Low garden bed...where are the steps going?

FRONT FENCE ALMOST COMPLETE

The brickies are still working on the fence. The front post where the yard gate is has been made hollow so we can put a wired intercom system in if we want to.

PCI Monday morning 6:30am

RANGEHOOD IN, FENCE GOING UP, WIRED SHELVING PICTURES, GARAGE MOTOR IN

A bit of a picture fess today. The brickies were back today, I was so glad to see the really friendly brickes who did an awesome job on the house was the one doing the fence. ;)
I noticed that the Rangehood, wire shelving and the garage electric motor for the roller door  has been installed.
The wire shelving is a temporary form of shelving to all the kids bedrooms and the linen press until we figure out what sort of wardrobe fit out we want to put in. It's one of those things I worry we will never actually get round to doing once we move in.

Eastern Fence being erected

New Rangehood- Loving the new kitchen

Garage electric roller door motor, hope to get the remote soon.

Lounge looking out, will be glad when landscaping is done and the view is nicer

BRICKS DELIVERED FOR LANDSCAPING, ASHFIELD COUNCIL BEING DIFFICULT

We have been held up for a week waiting for the bricks to be delivered for landscaping. They came today so hopefully they will get started tomorrow. I spoke to SS today we have PCI (Practical Completion Inspection) on Monday morning Yeah!!!! ;). We cannot get our keys until landscaping is completed, I hope they are quick. Unfortunately council is giving the landscaper a hard time about moving a decrepid old gutter, it will now cost us more to complete. gggrrrrr

The fence bricks

KITCHEN SPLASHBACK IN, CLEANING UP

Having been absent for the last 5 days, I wasn't sure what would have been completed this week. When we arrived the kitchen splashback was in, a few blokes were putting the wire fit outs in the cupboards.
Thanks to the Harry Potter book the two elder kids spent the time fighting over who will sleep in the cupboard below the stairs (roll eye moment). So much for being grateful for getting their own room.
A couple of men were also cleaning the house, removing stickers and plastic off toilets, bathtub, windows.

What I can think of that needs to be done:
- carpet of upstairs
- Rangehood and appliances (They may be going in after handover to prevent thieving)
- Front door handle and lock
- Landscaping (can be done after handover)
- Painting of upper front porch
- Cleaning, lots and lots
- Lounge stacker doors need to be reversed so we step onto the path and no the stairs
- Driveway, the whole 80cms worth
- PCI...yeah

Hoping we can move in soon!!!!! :)

The kitchen splashback.
They have even put glass either side of the rangehood exhaust pipe.
 Nice job. The colour is antique white
