Tom and Mel's House Building Adventures

All going to plan with the Bank we are due to have handover on Tuesday!! :) Woo hooo!!! It's so exciting! Tom got a call today from our site supervisor who informed us of this and made our day! :) The last of the carpet was laid today, tiles all cleaned and the driveway alfersco washed and made to look heaps better! :) Oh and when we were there this afternoon a man came and took away our Portaloo! Bye bye Loo! :) Very exciting times for us! :) YAY!

This week has seen our tiles completed, carpet laid and driveway and alfresco concreted. The bank is having a inspection this Thursday and PRC next week!! Not long now!!!

This week has seen the floor tiles laid, carpet underlay put down, outside rubbish all cleaned and the driveway marked out. I think the carpet should be done by tomorrow abs perhaps they will pour the driveway then too!! Here a few pictures.

Today saw all the door gain door handles. The front door a tri lock gold handle and thingy on the bottom! ( not sure what they are called!) Mirrors and shower screens were added to both bathrooms will toilet roll holders and towel racks!! :) mirrored doors were added to our built Ins and the whole house was given a clean. Windows and bathrooms are now clean and sparkle!! We were locked out again, so pictures are from the outside! We are meeting the tiler tomorrow ( tile the hallways and great room) at the crack of dawn to discuss options. He will be done by Wednesday and Thursday the carpet is being laid!! Super fast progress yet again!! :)
