Final Walk-through

Driveway:

IMAGE COMING SOON

We had our final walk-through on Friday. By and large the result was good. We had Bill come through and do an inspection as part of it. General construction was very good with only a handful of minor niggles to be addressed before handover.

In addition to the expected painting and minor plaster defects to be touched up we had a slice in the top of the laundry laminate. That will be the biggest thing as the laminate will have to be replaced. Hopefully that will all be done in the next week to week and a half.

As you can see to the right, we have "City-views". Or at least I am sure some estate agent would try pass that off as one. At least we can stay inside and dry to watch New Years fireworks.

Scaffold down, i repeat, scaffold down!.....

On our Tuesday visit, Jim said to not come back until Friday as by then the scaff would be dowm, the upper section painted and the bobcat would have been and the general clutter around the base have been cleared.

We did as we were told and sweated a full 3 days without sneaking a look!

Just been round to see:



Its looking like a house

Behold the insides:

We had a tour through the house on Tuesday morning with Jim, our site manager. We were stunned by how advanced the inside of the place was! There be plaster, and cabinets and staircases, oh my!

To the left you can see the kitchen cabinets with the mock tops.



The living area has come out in the photo quite dark, but it looks cavernous to us. It will look even bigger once the walls are white, so we are told.



 Back to the kitchen, and the island benching. Beyond it the dining area space.




Pantry, WC, staircase (blurry), ensuite and master bedroom, all looking good.



Our biggest surprise has been the space for the reading room. It now feels like a really big and usable space. Deserving of many bookshelves, laden with novels! I am thinking there needs to be a boardgames coffee table in there too.

Bricks and INSIDE!!!

A little while back we actually set foot inside the house under the supervision of Jim, our site manager. It was weird being inside - in large part because the house is backwards to every other Breeze that we have been in. Felt pretty big in there to me and it was really exciting being in the space like that!

 
The outside - with most of the bricks up. We were a bit worried about the bricks when we saw them in pallets but they look great as walls with mortar.


 Behold the inside! This is looking to the front of the house - pantry on the left and thehallway to the study.
 Our stacker doors - from the dining area
 
 Viv and Kez - behold our ceiling piping - nothing like as "interesting" as yours was.
 The living area and our other staker doors.
 Kylie surveys her domain/pantry: you can almost hear her dreaming of the shelves!
 Looking out toward Viv and Kez's from the back room.
  Bathroom in progress
 Kylie contemplates the space of the reading room and thinks of all the books to read.
