Tiles!!!

We just popped past the house today and thought we would have a bit of a sticky through the windows, but building supervisor 1 wanted to try the front door and lo and behold...it opened!!! 

On closer inspection inside we found the tiling has been done on the floors in the ensuite and family bathroom/powder room.

Despite the dust over the tiles, we are really happy with the colours!! It is very nerve wracking choosing colours from samples and trying to picture them on a larger scale.

And here's some better photos of 'the' front door:

A quick update:

We have rooms - actual rooms!!!

The boys and I drove past the house today around lunchtime and noticed 3 cars on site so got a little bit excited there was some action going on in the house!

Came back this evening to find.....we have rooms!!!!  All of the ceilings have been completed and they have started with the gyprock on the walls!!
