Cabinets, cornices, internal doors, sinks!

I just had a progress inspection with my Carlisle site supervisor this morning. Went through the house and told me they took care of all defects listed in both my frame/preplaster inspections. Really happy to see the house in its shape! He also told me the house should be ready sometime in April!?

The thought of moving into our first home (wife and I) soon really is exciting! :)

Any how, here are the photos taken this morning.

:) :) :) I'm loving how the house turn out to be atm - We really liked how the kitchen turn out to be. Love the laminex!

Hopefully by the time carpets, tiles, kitchen splashbacks and renders come on.. it would look just as good! 

Locked up!

Hi guys,

Sorry I have been away for 3 weeks overseas so I didn't managed to monitor my own house since Christmas!

Anyhow, here are the latest pictures (taken on Monday).

Fascia and Gutter!

Hi all,

Windows, fascia and gutters all went up this week!

Starting to look like a house! too bad bricks will only go up in mid January (just got confirmation from CLE on friday)

Anyhow, here are the pictures!

Slab and Frame up!

2 days from mud to slab and frame!?

It has been raining all week and especially bad on Wednesday! I'm not sure whether it is a good thing the slab went down on Thursday - Bit wet I would have thought? But I've been to the site yesterday (saturday) - they look ok!? Hopefully the slab will be ok and does not have any adverse effect in the long run.

Here are the pics taken yesterday.

No Slabs yet :(

After 2 weeks of raining.. I didn't even bother to check my build until yesterday (>10days) ... Still no slabs on-sight..

There are steel cables sitting on our neighbour's driveway (vacant land still) which I think its for my foundation however. Some soil movement and that's it. Bit disappointed but what can you do when rain just kept coming?

Forecasts for Melbourne is still NOT GOOD! Shower and Storm for the entire week days... :(

Maybe slabs will not go up this week afterall..

Site Scraped Photos

This afternoon I finally drove by our land to check out our "site scrape". Really excited to see some movement on our land!! Portaloo is up and operational!

Here are the photos!

That's it! Upcoming post will hopefully be with slab poured (scheduled next thursday!)
