Week 23 - Touch ups and Finishing off

We were due to have our PCI this week, however this was postponed as there were still some things not quite finalised.  SS didn't want to present our house to us with not everything finished.


Termite Barriers

This was installed - not quite sure how these are finished off as this is just sitting there!
See the green box and yellow cord along the edge of the concrete.

Exterior Painting

Finally all the timber work around the Exterior was painted - this is one of the things holding things up. There will now be some touch ups required due to some sloppiness!







Front door without the blue paint tape on it!



Stairs Lacquered

Sorry - can only see this through the rumpus window!


Boundary Fence installed





Other Stuff 

Independent Inspection now booked for Monday and then PCI on Thursday.
Still confusion with one vanity basin.
Laundry Chute to finalise (may have been done - just can't see)
Window frame to finish above extended benches in dining room after Essa Stone installation.

Week 22 - Splash back and some finishing touches


LOVE the Splashback.  

It is very reflective!

Colour is "Mangrove Leaf" on normal glass.  No point paying extra for clear glass when normal glass gives a greenish tint!















Stair Case


English Walnut Stain - still needs to be varnished.
We wanted carpet on the stairs so little kiddies don't slip down the stairs.  Lets see how easy it is to clean.........








Carpet


Guess where the join in the carpet is????

Master Bedroom

Master Bedroom looking into Ensuite



Electricals


This is how it looks for the Wall Mounted TV.  Very neat and tidy!





Other Stuff

Gas Meter has also been installed, just not connected up as yet.

Also have received final invoice in preparation for handover..........

Red Door

Love our newly painted RED door - will be even better when they take off the blue paint tape...

"Chocolate Cherry" is the colour

Week 21 - Very close to the end, more finishing touches

Facade & Roller Door


Monument Panelmaster Roller Door is on, great to see the balance of colour.  Just as I type this now, my husband is at the house and sent me a photo of the front door which is now painted Red.  We were at the house yesterday until midday, so it has happened since then!

The Portico is just now waiting to be painted, then the front facade is finished.







Electrical and Technology

Outside Speakers in Grand Alfresco - party time!

Wall Mounted TV set up ready to go
External Powerpoints on Grand Alfresco
 - we put one up each end

Stair lights - I think the very right one should have been
further up???


Tiling Splashback in Guest Suite

As mentioned in previous post, the tiling was not centred on the splashback.  This has now been fixed, even though I was working on the feature tile idea.  However, after now looking at the work, I think it looks fine.



Cut edge on the tile looks fine.
Can see how the tiling is more centred to
everything else now.


 Some Fix Ups


This corner needed to be fixed as it was not plum.
You can also see the Bolero Laminate Flooring added in the hallway through the doorway.



Downstairs linen cupboard - we had to remove the top shelf so the clothes that fall through the linen chute directly above have somewhere to fall too!



This is currently where the laundry chute needs to be finished with some laminate type timber and obviously neatened up.

Laundry Chute upstairs, still needs hole cut so the clothes have somewhere to go!



Bolero Laminate Flooring - Rustic Coffee


This was laid on Friday
