5.6.18 - Final plumbing done & carpet laid

Plumber was here yesterday installing all of the tapware, hot water system, gas fittings and toilets. We madly spent all of last weekend hooking up our big rural water tanks and pump to ensure that the plumber had pressurised water for the final install. So happy with all of the fittings, especially our big rain shower heads.

Managed to find another open window today and got in to see our new carpet. It's darker than we remembered, but absolutely love it and it's a nice contrast to the rest of the house being so lightly coloured.

31.5.18 - Paddock fencing completed

All of our boundary fences, internal paddock fencing and the meshed area around the house have all been completed. The top wire will also be electrified. So excited to be able to bring the horses here very soon!

30.5.18 - Electrical done and HANDOVER DATE BOOKED

All of our power points, down lights, data points, external lights and switches were all done today. Nothing more exciting than breaking into your own home through an open window and running through flicking all of the lights on!

Our site supervisor also rang today to say that handover will be next Friday 8th June! We are beyond excited for all this building stress to be over soon.

29.5.18 - Tiling finished

The tiler started the tiling of the wet areas back at the end of April, but once he had done these areas (laundry, front porch and both bathrooms), he left until after the painting was done.

Tiler came back to finish off by doing the rest of the main house. We were a little deceived by the tiling company about the colour of the 'misty grey' grout that we chose. We were told it was a similar colour to the tile we had chosen, however once we saw the wet areas tiled, we realised the grout was much lighter than we thought. We then made a trip to bunnings and bought 2 bags of 'slate grey' grout and 3 tubes of slate grey' silicone, which is darker and pretty much the exact same colour as our tiles.

Fast forward to Monday 28th May, we went out first thing to the site to meet the tiler and try to convince him to use the darker grout & silicone we had purchased...$450 cash later, he agreed to it!

21.5.18 - Painting finished

The painter has finished today and done a great job...aside from leaving the tap on our water tank and draining 1,000 litres of water!

6.5.18 - Shed completed

Our beautiful big shed is all done and perfectly matches the house!

24.4.18 Shed frame up

Our shed frame has started being put up today! We are just amazed at the size of it and so happy that we added extra height. It's a triple bay enclosed shed with double roller door, a lean-to off the right side for the horse float and a garaport off the back for the wash bay/stable area. Total area is 11.5m wide x 10m deep.

I also managed to get some nice daytime photos of the house with garage door.
