Water tanks and not much else

Another week gone and it looks like only one thing has happened. Hurry up builder.


We have 4 water tanks squeezed down the side of the property.


Oops. Looks like they forgot to hook this downpipe up.

Slowly progressing

We met with the site supervisor today and had a good look around. He said we are getting close to the end now. However there still seems to be so much left to do.

Tiling finished in kitchen and we have a range hood. The freestanding oven was sitting in the hallway ready to be installed.

We have some handrails. They have to come back as they missed doing the front patio.

Ensuite bathroom. Feature tile looks a little small on such a big wall.

Main bathroom almost sorted.

Pergola, electrical, A/C and more landscaping

Hopefully not long to go now. We have been waiting for ages for the wrong bath that was installed to be replaced. That has held up tiling. Our site supervisor has been sick on and off for the last week or more, so haven't been able to get an update on what's happening.

We have lots of electrical points now hooked up all around the place.

Front garden bed and some of boundary retaining wall now put back in place.

More electrical and A/C ducts

We have a pergola. Brickwork around beams also completed.

We have an Air Conditioned. Bit of a squeeze.

More tiling, landscaping and neighbour complaint

Retaining wall a little higher

Tiling rear alfresco. Pergola still to be installed.

Front tiling done.

Side retaining wall removed after excavation to allow room for side access. Neighbour not happy so we are are putting back some of the blocks for them.


Power pole.

Tiling and landscaping

Tiling started on living room floor

Tiling started on alfresco floor

Start of retaining wall. Noticed a broken drainage pipe running down the side cut. The landscapers are waiting on the builder to fix before they can backfill.

Path levelled down the low side. Doesn't look like much now but compared to the drop that was there a few days ago it looks amazing.

More painting, staining and downpipes

Front columns and gable now painted. Site has been cleaned up too.

Downpipes now in. They will need to be painted soon

Front door stained

Painting Started

We went for an inspection today with the supervisor and managed to take a few pics. The skylights have been installed, painting has started, site has been cleaned and levelled out. The wrong bath has been installed but we have been assurred the correct one has been ordered and will be fitted shortly. For some reason all the pics show random specs in them. I guess this is due to the flash reflecting light off the dust in the air?
