Week Seventeen: Garage Door, Painting, Electrical and Basins

Huge week! Have to pinch myself sometimes, the progress has been relentless.

We had painters in on Monday and Tuesday. All the walls are done with the exception of the cutting in and the architraves (which will be done after the flooring is installed, I believe). I'm really in love with the colour (Taubmans Pebble Bay) as it is warm and neutral.

Garage door was installed Wednesday and it looks fabulous! The sinks/basins and caesarstone to the bathrooms/back kitchen bench are also there now.

Electricians worked through yesterday so all our down lights have been installed, bayonet globes ready to roll in all other places. We have the indoor/outdoor power points on the walls and data cabling. Our heater/exhaust fans in the bathrooms and toilets have been attached.

I have heaps of photos. The electricians on site spotted me loitering around outside and invited us in, so here are some pics!

 It was such a beautiful day, I had to show you our view. Can't wait to wake up to this every morning...

Last thing:  I'm trying to find stains for our Hume Lin1 doors to meld in with our colour theme. I've narrowed it down to these two, but would appreciate some feedback! Homeone Forum peeps, help!

Week Thirteen: External Doors, Internal Doors and Architraves Arrive

Our beautiful Hume Linwood One doors arrived this week and have been hung to the door frames. I'm so happy to see them, we have six in total. We've paid to have them in the main bedroom, home theatre, internal laundry, storeroom/garage access and the two pantry doors.

My initial thoughts were painting them a rick chocolate brown, but I'm now having second thoughts. Perhaps a light stain over the top keeping them to a similar colour as they are displayed raw. Not sure? Got 3-4 months to make up my mind!

Our front door is on now too, looks great. We are now officially locked out, since all sliding doors and internal doors have keyed locks.

You can also see that the pillars are nowpainted (Dune). Pretty...

Next week, the waterproofing will begin. The bathroom vanities will also be installed, so looking forwards to seeing the colour of the laminex in the flesh.

2nd last progress payment was sent off today. Only one to go, which is the practical completion payment. Hoorah!
