Taps, toilets and shelving

Today we met a landscaper on site to give a few ideas and costing for retaining walls and driveway. While we were waiting for him I had plenty of time to look inside the house. The plumber was just finishing up. He has installed all our taps, toilets and shower rails. Everything is starting to look very nice.
Yesterday our air conditioning was installed, although they have not done the control panel yet. On the weekend there was a lovely man here who did all of the shelving for the pantry, the shelf and rails for the wardrobes. I forgot to look in the linen cupboard so hopefully that was done too. We had an extra wardrobe installed in the master bedroom (where the dressing table is) but there is no railing or shelf in there. MDJ charged us alot of money for this wardrobe so we expected a rail inside. We will be asking about this. Lesson learned here..don't assume.
My partner had a chat to our SS this morning trying to get a date from him. You know the date we all want to hear. He's still not committing to an exact date, but, he expects we will have hand over by mid December, possibly even end of November. Yay.

Photo Update

Bench tops done

Last night we had a look through our windows. Our kitchen bench tops are installed and I can see the note on the wall where the splash back goes so I know they've measured the space for the splashback. The sink is in as well. We could also see our bathroom basins were installed. Our alfreso area has been screeded, just waiting for tiles. Earlier in the week the "smart" wiring was done for our data points, the TV wall mounting bracket installed and the TV aerial is on the roof. Painting has also been finished. It's getting close to the finish line!!! I still can't get any decent photos, all I can get is a reflection of my hands. Grrr.

Tiling Complete ?

Last week our tiling was completed, according to the SMS we received from MDJ. I can see that they haven't actually finished tiling!!! They haven't finished the tiling on the front porch. I'm not sure why it has been left this way, maybe it has something to do with the horrendous rain we had (over 70 mm in 3 hours). Update, they ran out of sand.
Our painters were back on Saturday so we haven't had a chance to look through our windows. We just can't bring ourselves to walk in or look through windows when someone is on site. It feels wrong.
We also received progress claim #5. Only one more payment to go!!!
I wish I knew what was on the agenda for this week. It's been so much fun to see things happen every week and now I can't see a thing. I really want to get inside again.

Kitchen and laundry cabinets

I was able to get a quick look through the house this afternoon with our fantastic site supervisor to see the progress. The second stage of waterproofing was done yesterday as well as cabinetry delivery. Today our kitchen and laundry cabinets were installed. It's starting to look like a home. Bring on the tiles!!! Delivery tomorrow, hopefully.

Painting started

Such a busy week.  We are locked out so can only go on what we can see through the windows. All of our architraves and internal doors, including wardrobe and pantry doors are installed. The first coat of paint has been done too. The water tank plumbing has been completed also. I tried to take some photos through the windows but there was too much reflection from this beautiful sunny day.
