Wet Area Tiling has started

Week ending 20 October saw the tilers start on the bathrooms, laundry and balcony. The tiles look so much better than what I had imagined. They also poured the Garage and Alfresco concrete slabs, and had the gas fireplace installed to the living.

Not too far from Lock-up now, week ending 29/9/13

We can't be too far from lock-up now, the white set has been completed and the house is actually starting to look more like a home than a construction site. Fingers crossed, the week ahead should see the place officially locked-up.

In the meantime, some pics of my close, but yet so far, home to be:

It kind of feels like not much has moved in the last fortnight, but in short, there has been a heap of plumbing, electrical and smart-wiring passed through from upstairs to downstairs. Also the roofing was basically completed on both the Alfresco and Garage.

Electrical and smart-wiring heaven:
