Benches in, skirting on, and internal doors arrive
I must admit to being very lazy the last fortnight in doing this, but I have my excuses. Anyway, these pictures were taken on Wednesday with my phone. Just got lucky that I went to the block in the morning and the garage door was left open. I have made an appointment with our site supervisor for Monday, so will take my camera with me and take some better pictures. The tradies never seem to leave any doors or windows open lately, so only luck is getting these photos.
Amazing progress has been made in the last 2 and a bit weeks, it seems like it wont be too far until we move in now. There has been a LOT of rain but that has not stopped them.
What has been done since the last update:
Kitchen Benches and bench top are in.
Really happy with the way the handles are, I do remember picking them that way nearly 12 months ago, but the plans had them as vertical. I didn't really care too much, just happy the plans were just about right. Considering we never once got 100% correct plans, the tradies have done a great job so far. And the things they did get wrong, we either got upgraded for free or the problem was fixed by them. With the kitchen, the colours of the overhead cupboards are wrong as well as the kickboards, but not sure if I should say anything as the white does look good. They were supposed to be a light grey colour.
Internal doors have arrived.
Lastly the external stuff. Rendering to the facade has been done, and the bricks have been washed. I have no pictures of the bricks, but I'll get some Monday. All that is remaining now is the eaves and skirting which is sitting in the garage, so if all goes well and the rain stops (crossing fingers and toes) that should be done this week.
Monday will most likely be a lot shorter post with better quality pictures.

I really like the colour of the bench top, it looks amazing. Would have loved to have gotten stone for all the bench tops but they just wanted too much money. This is a nice wood grain like finish in a light grey. The camera on my Samsung Galaxy is just really bad, or my likely, I am a very poor photographer. The colour is like the very right of the picture.
Bathroom cupboards:
Ensuite: Vanity in and shower base sealed. The unit is pretty big, cant wait to see the size of the mirror.
Shower base sealed. I think we just have a glass screen and no door, but not 100% sure. Will find out soon I guess.
