Just A Lick Of Paint

Just a small ish update today after a little delay! The plasterers have finished the fix ups and tweaks and the painters moved on in!

Lovely bunch of chaps the painters, and after only a few days their first phase is almost done!





I say first phase, apparently due to the tilers, electricians, plumbers and everyone else on earth to do with final fixes, the house will get quite knocked around, so they'll be back for constant fixes.

Really thrilled with the wall colour (Kitty Grey for those playing at home) and can't wait to see the feature wall colour in place (Thunderbolt). They should, all going well, be done today which opens the door for the tilers to come in!



Mmmm shiny doors!

We also had a peek under the protective ply at the Benchtops which have also gone in. Really happy as this was the replacement stone after PD stopped supplying Essastone.



Will head back later today for a last look at hopefully a fully painted house!

Looking forward to the next update when the bathrooms should look more like... we'll... bathrooms.

Caaaaaabinetry.... Is such a lonely word.

What an exciting update we have today! The house started last week looking every bit the empty shell of the building it once was...



It started with the sneaky drive by and reporting back to the foreman (read Wife) that a van was there that we hadn't seen before! It didn't take long to realise that it was either thieves emptying an already empty house OR... Cabinetry! The answer was of course... Thieves.

However after they had realised that you can't steal what ain't there, the cabinetry indeed arrived along with the chippies again!

Most of the cabinetry went in on the first day, with further tweaking/installation on the second day.





I love a good galley!



The games room and study fitout we designed and got PD to quote on as an extra came up really well!



Lights would make this look better...



Bathrooms, Cinema and Family all in!





But enough about the cabinetry. The lads were in at the same time doing all the Architrave and Skirts.
Was so exciting seeing a real finish starting to go in and they again did a great job!





Mmmmm Front door with lock.



A window... yes... a window.



At the same time all this activity was going on, Gary and the framing lads were back to put the roof frames on the garage and alfresco.





So all in all a fantastic week and for the umpteenth time, we can't thank everyone enough for their efforts. The 'Fix' bill is in and we are onto tweaks to plaster and internals ahead of the painters coming in... thats right.... painters. So until next time, enjoy the olympics and Go Straya!
