Well it has been awhile and a lot has happened. We have completed unpacking the house and have finished the rear yard. the house was entered in the Masterbuilders comp…

12 weeks without internet have meant I haven't been able to put through any updates.
Fingers crossed that I can log in properly by the end of this week.
In news though,…

Ha ha. The wait is killing me! It's not even an NBN connection which makes the wait even more painful.

It looks pretty good .
I tried to take a pic but my water damaged / maltreated mobile wasn't up for it.

Had the husband take one but without the internet…

Not much luck getting everything done but we have progress. I think I have gotten rid of the first layer of building grime from the house.
Upstairs lounge with shutters over…

We didn't have any time off and it is showing. We still haven't managed to give the house a proper clean. Hoping to get it all knocked over this afternoon…

Whoa!! Great progress and an amazing render!

Slowly slowly. Some progress pics.

Thanks Robina and SileNceR. I feel like I need a couple of days off to get it sorted but we'll make do with some hours after work.
I don't think we'll…

The most complete room in the house
And it is still in desperate need of a clean.

Thanks Robina .
Heading into our third night in and the house is still a mess (albeit a slowly reducing mess) and I am shattered!
We have sworn that we are…

It seems a little surreal but we are moving tomorrow.
No PCI, haven't made our final payment yet and work is still underway but it goes ahead.
Tempted to do a late…

Loving the light selections. I like the idea of tying together the kitchen light and floor lamp.

I thought I had more pictures of the splash back. The laundry has been done now (same as the kitchen) and the whole lot is grouted. I suppose it gives…

Some more progress pics of the bamboo (which it turns out is still short of materials)

Just ordered new linen (because it a Sheridan's sale section is hard to ignore) and had to deliberate on where to have it sent.
The move next weekend is completely non-negotiable…

Thanks guys.
They are saying the measurements were messed up and they only included one set of the stairs. The installer arrived and was surprised but what we expected to…

Since posting my flooring joy, I was told they messed up the quote.
Turns out that finishing the flooring will cost an extra $2400

Any sign of a slab?

Hit send too quick . I'll send a pic when it is in.
In the way of pics, the bamboo has started and the fabric blinds have mostly gone in…

Yep SileNceR, just a rectangular fold down. We looked at buying a retractable one from Bunnings that we could have going along the back fence but in the end I…

I have been very much over it many, many times over the last few months. We are so close to the finish line now that it is exciting again.
We do…

Ha ha. It's not very fancy. It's a simple fold down line (well I assume it folds down). With space so tight and it being attached to the frame it…

And just now I got confirmation that our clothesline is ready to go in. Custom line for a custom house

That sounds crazy to me. Although we did hear that potential buyers of the vacant block next to us were quoted $90k for earthworks for a house on stilts! That…

Looked back over your photos. Sigh!!! Looks lovely

Oh Aloenyx. It's so awful that the joy is being sucked out of your home. Massive hugs x

The skirting has been painted. Next weekend I will get to see it in place!
All the extras are being booked:
- first lot of blinds on the 2 Aug
- bamboo and…

Why does it take so much longer than expected!

A delivery of cider has been requested.

And the newest news is that the roller blinds are ready to install. They want to put them in next Wed!
