Framing Day 100 - Über Update

Well, we're up to the 100th day of post slab build, give or take a few days here and there. Meh.

Today I managed to take lots of pictures here and there as we walked around. I did not know it at the time (that it was the 100th day) however, it fits that there are lots of pictures for such a momentous day!

The termite protection has been put all around the house.

The short side of the galley. The tiler had left over tiles and suggested that we tile this bit to match the other side of the galley.

Tap is in.

Framing Day 96 - Shower Screens!!!

Under the "Design is in our DNA" promotion that we signed under, the shower screens were meant to be the Stegbar "semi-frameless" ones. When I looked at their site, that to me, meant the Grange series.

However, others appear to have had different results in interpretation of what "semi-frameless" actually meant and equated too.

So, after quite a few emails back and forth between myself and our BC, I was informed that it would indeed be the Grange.

I believe that this is what we have had installed!

Master ensuite shower screens are in!

Framing Day 90 - Massive Interior Updates

After picking my boys up from school, we all got to go and have a look whilst there was good light. We found the painters there, I thanked them from helping us build such a nice home. They looked back at me as if I had two heads. I had a good chat to the boss, Paul. He said that most people don't talk to them (which is pretty much what the framer said months before) at all, much less say thank you. "It doesn't happen" were his words. Sad really.

I would encourage everyone to talk to the tradies and let them know that their efforts are appreciated, if not verbally, a case of beer never goes astray.

The guest (princess) suite ensuite.

Guest suite floor.

Partial kitchen splashback.

Not too much out of square.

The SS was not happy that it was straight. So it came down to be replaced.

Bedroom bathroom.

Bedroom bathroom.

The front is north facing; lots of natural light.

Another bedroom bathroom.

Master Ensuite. I wish we'd been asked which way to lay them, either by National Tiles or the Tiler. I'd have requested them to be vertical if asked. It looks odd. Time will tell if I can live with it.

Spa will be next.

Master ensuite shower.

All of the heat lamps are in.
