Appliances and Lights!!

Today, I was out our way, getting my two new tyres on the car ($500 later... grrr) so I went up to the house! AND.... Oh my gosh, how exciting!!!... we have had the Rangehood and stove put in, and some of our light fittings have been installed.

We also had the Air-Conditioning guys in today, doing the ducting!!


I was also quite excited to find out that our hot water cylinder is solar ready! Mike was really happy to hear that also!! :)


And as always.... todays view.... Always different!!! :)

Its all happening!

Things were humming along at the house today! Busy busy busy!!! :)

The builders were there, and so was the electrician! The builders were busy putting handles on doors and cupboards.

They are also installing our doorstops, imported from Australia (seems you cannot buy the cheap ass door stop clips here, just expensive ones!). Last time I was over in Australia, I took myself to Bunnings, and bought these little suckers for $1.49 each!!

Our bathroom is looking pretty awesomely awesome!! I cannot wait to use the Spa Bath!!!!!







The kids bathroom is also looking pretty cool :) Britt stoked with the Feature tiles that I chose for them!


Their dunny was put in place also.

Ours was still in the box!


The Wardrobe people have been in and have installed the racks in all the cupboards.

This is our walk in robe.


Britt's walk in robe.

And... Cameron's walk in robe.

There were more DVS Outlets and lights put in!


And the tiles on the floor, look fantastic!!!


I am really looking forward to the day when we move into this wonderful home!! :D

Electricians have started!

After scrapbooking today, I went up to the house to see if the phone line was working! AND... IT IS!!! Yay Telecom for getting your act together (6 1/2 months it took them to bloody well do the phone connection!).

Anyway, the Electricians seemed to be in the house as well, and they were putting in some lights, and switches, and Sky connections... all exciting stuff!! :)

The Tilers are still there, and working on the tiling still. They have completed all the tiles for the Study, and have put up a bunch more tiles in our bathroom, and have also started on the kids bathroom.

Tiles on walls in the Ensuite.

Today we went up the block, to check out the tiling! Cameron seems pretty pleased with the feature wall in his room! :)

The Heated towel rails, mirror demisters and the controls were left in the Butler's pantry a few days ago, and here are some pics



The tilers are doing a great job and moving through the house quite quickly! Hallway!
