1 week to go ...

Whilst we're counting down the days, the guys doing the driveway started nice and early this morning and were up at the house getting ready before we arrived at 7am

There trucks everywhere in the street so lucky we only have 2 neighbours that are already in who didn't mind the noise

They started down the back shed first around 9:30am or so and then headed up the front to do the main one around midday or so

We just thought they'd just prep it all and go home...how wrong were we!

They stayed up until 7ish or so and when loading the machinery onto the trucks, they had to have the spotlights on to see, what a big day!


I can't wait until we get the landscaping done and to have all the grass grow back and finally rid of all the rubbish that's left lying around...typical construction site as you would expect lol

The chippies came to finish off with the install of the door handles and pretty much stayed all day too. The only thing they have to finish is the rails in the wardrobes and towel rails in the bathrooms as well as the toot roll holders

The cleaners will start on Monday and Tuesday, the painters will be back to do the skirting and any touch ups as well as painting the rest of the mouldings

The gas heater will be installed either Monday or Tuesday as well and Ben (sparky) will finish off the rest of the electrical work

I think the new balcony door will be installed on Tuesday as well as the hand rail.
Thursday, the appliances  will be fitted...yay, can't wait to see how they look, and then it's handover day on Friday...yippee!

OMG...

 Just received some more pictures from Tii they're a little blurry but check out how gorgeous the stairs are without all the tape! One word sums it all up...OMG

Progress, progress, progress

Since I didn't have to start work until 1pm today, Geoff and I went up to the house to check out the flooring and to see how far the guys had gotten too

Tii had been in constant touch with me through the whole time yesterday and sent through some more pics via email and boy was I excited just seeing those so can you imagine my surprise when we arrived?

As expected, 2 of Tii's installers were well at it and obviously had been up there for a while before we had arrived.

Like the troopers they are, hard at it again and working consistently to get it finished in time

I took one look at the stairs and was immediately impressed. I can not wait to see it all once all the protective covering gets taken off so I am counting down that's for sure

Remember, if you EVER want to have your floors look as amazing as ours, don't hesitate to get Tii to give you a quote, you WON'T regret it trust me

Take a look for yourself...

Flooring continued...

Geoff had to go up to the house this morning to move all the remaining electrical stuff from under the stairs so the guys could continue with the flooring under there.

Whilst there, he sent through some more pics of what's happened so far...check it out

                                       The upstairs sitting room...trust me, the fan is timber not black!

                                                                              Master Bed

                                       The underlay down and ready for the timber

                                                    Our load centre is in the garage

One of the many Clipsal up/down wall lights installed so far, and yes, they are a more modern light but Geoff refused to let me buy coach lights and really, the façade is more of the modern farmhouse than anything else so I had to give in somewhere and let him win 1 argument at least!
