Well, well, well......it has been a crazy, busy week on the house front this week, with so much happening!!!!!
Monday: Garage door installed
Door handles installed
Final fix of electrics begins:
Tuesday:
Templates for stone benches have been removed from kitchen.
Pantry door handles:
Building inspector #2 checks out the kitchen cupboards:
Wednesday:
Aldi had a bit of a special on homewares that were suitable for the kids....so after a bit of a spend up we will be having one 'blue' room and one 'red' room for the boys
The builders asked for the lights that we bought to be delivered to their office..... so I rushed down to the lighting shop to pay for and collect our lights..... I ended up bringing them home and sorted them out and did a spreadsheet for the builders to ensure all the lights go in the right rooms!! Luckily the video doorbell intercom thingy also arrived in the post so that was perfect timing!!
On site, the electric sockets are in, the toilets are delivered and more sparky stuff is done! Oh and the ducted heating is installed!!
Thursday:
Dropped most of the lights down to the builders
Landscaping done over the block:
Friday: Stone bench installed!!
Is it possible to be in love with a stone bench top?? (it's Smartstone Arcadia - I think - will need to find the paperwork to confirm that!!) I was so in awe of it, that I forgot to get any decent photos....but here is a couple......
Oh and for the other Mrs M...you will see that I am not that clever after all with the presence of a kitchen sink!! ;)
Deliver to the sparkie the final lot of lights.......have a bit of a chat and mention that there isn't too many things that I am unhappy with in the house except for forgetting to put a power point on one of the walls in the lounge...he asks me to show him where.... I do, and he is like, yep, no probs, it's your house, you can have what you want!!
(OH has since told me I may well have to go back to work to pay off the cost of putting in this last powerpoint!!
)
The plumber is in as well... taps are all in & plumbed!!
So......which I think that brings us up to date....as for what is left to happen, well, the sparkie should be finished on Monday (can't wait (& a little bit nervous!) to see all our lighting choices installed!!), the plasterer will be back to finish things off now the kitchen is in - same with the tiler, once they are done, the painters will back to finish off, the pantry & linen shelves need to be installed, the floor coverings need to be laid and a final clean needs to happen!!! Oh, and the concrete needs to be poured for the porch and crossover..... All of this could happen this week....and we are seriously looking at being in in 2 weeks time!!!
(am trying to contain my excitement at the moment though as I don't want to be disappointed if we don't move in before the long weekend...although, everyone is going away so there will be noone here to help us move anyways!!!)
