Upstairs Plaster Finished 31st October

All cornice upstairs complete - think the only thing to happen is some sanding and finishing before they are clear to paint. Skirting and edges around the doors and windows need to also go in. In hindsight we should have got the square edge in our master bedroom as would have been much better!

30th October - Stairs in , Nice surprise

After work went around to check out the plaster progress to find they had installed the stairs. The hand rails were then installed on Saturday. One guy there all weekend putting in the cornice upstairs and in the downstairs laundry and toilet. We are having square edge in all the other rooms downstairs.
Very pleased with the stair upgrade and with the addition of the big window makes it a really nice space. The window definitely has been a great purchase and would totally recommend everyone to put it in.

Plaster Finished - 23rd october

All the plaster has been hung. Some photos of the downstairs area, back lounge,dining and front lounge. So far looking good and they seem to have done a very neat job!

21st October - plaster started !

Glad to see the plaster started. Can now get a full feel for each of the rooms. Plasterer should be here for around 8 days apparently and then someone different will come in and do the cornice up stairs. We have paid extra to have square edge on the downstairs rooms... very glad as they will feel larger with this method and looks a lot more modern.

garage roof is still not on ! someone stole the colourbond that was left out the back for it so gather they now have to re order!

We have also got 3 crates of bricks left over- hopefully these will be allowed to stay so that we can use those for the pillars that we want to build in the front garden.

Scafolding down ! looks like a house - 16th October

Scaffolding came down today! Any very pleased with the progress so far. Painter has done most of the outside painting except the back weatherboards. Builders have been back to put the weatherboard on the back this week so the house is mostly weather proof except for the garage.

Love how the big window at the stairs looks from the outside. Look forward to seeing it in the stairwell.

Walk on the beach !

Our neighbours dog! very large.

10th October - Summer is here

Summer was present today in all its beauty and what better place to live them by the beach! Checked out the house and the painter had already made progress on the windows and the weatherboard. Then a beautiful walk along the beach. Ran into our new neighbours walking there dog - was a stunning sunset! the very reason we love where we are building- few minutes and on the sand!

So far happy with the colour and house starting to look a little more complete- finally getting there.

8th October - weatherboards on!

Outside Weatherboards installed today - very pleased with how it all looks and coming along. Front of the house done today. Back yet to be done.

3rd October - Cat 6 Cable

Installed ourselves the CAT 6 cable from study to all the TV points so that they can be connected to the internet.

3rd OCtober

We spent some time at the house on weekend putting in all the CAT 6 cables for the internet and speaker cables to the lounge. Also did a little cleaning on the inside, sweeping up a lot of stuff. Was nice to see it clean.

When we got there on Saturday the insulation had all been installed which made the job a little harder then we would have liked. Good to see some prgress however

September 29th - back roof installed

Back roof finally goes on !!
House is watertight.

Finally an update !

I will now update with all the progress to date which has thankfully been a lot!
Will attempt to put it in order. Mostly we have had no problems other then the progress being a little slower then we hoped. The quality of the work has been good and Stuart our SS has been great to deal with. As of today the 30th of October we are at full lockup. I will put up a photos of all the progress.
