12-12-2010 (Day 165)

We managed to get into our house yesterday and got some photos of the inside :) Seems like there is still a bit to do. The tilework is not complete, there is still some more work for the elctrician, bedroom cupboards and shower screens not fitted yet, paintwork and plaster needs touching up, carpet needs to be put in, and of course the last thing is appliances and a good cleanup of the whole house before keys get handed over to us. Getting closer though.

7/12/2010 - Day 160


The house is 85% complete! Latest pics show the insides have been painted and real doors put in and painted. Wall and floor tiles have been installed too, although we would have liked to get inside to inspect in more detail, the builder has locked all doors so we couldn't get in. Good thing for preventing theft i guess. One thing which we cringed a little at was the laundry sink surround tiles, which were recommended by our tile colour consultant. They are in "Cafe Cream" colour and just don't look that great along side our laundry cabinet (dark timber brown) and wall colour (silverish grey). Luckily these tiles were only selected for the laundry area.
We just hope everything was done properly so that when our pre-handover inspection comes along there will be little rectification. Not long to go now! :D

Oh and on a side note our neighbour has finally started building! We were worried that they would NEVER build as that piece of land was left vacant for a long time, and we didn't want to have moved in before they start. Now we will have a house shielding us a little from the hot westerly sun! Their concrete slab has been laid so hopefully in a few months time they would pick up speed and be almost finished as their builder is very quick.
