Locked out again

Well all our plaster is finished, we sorted out our clear bedroom doors and our front door arrived and it was the wrong one too!

Spoke to M3tricon and hopefully they can get what we wanted otherwise I didn't hate it and would have to keep it as is.

The painters are meant to be out there this week and the tilers so hopefully I can get some more photos soon with the bathroom selections done - I can't wait for this.

I'm on count down. Don't have a date given to me yet but hoping 6 weeks as I'm told the concrete should be end of June and that is usually the last thing - hopefully - fingers crossed.

It's getting very muddy out there atm walked around the house the other night and came out with mud bricks on my feet. Lovely. I think I will leave the garden till spring or summer and just focus on the deck now for the house warming and grand final day bbq.

Anyway just thought I would update as I've been reading all the other blog updates and love it when there's something new to read. Lucky work has high speed broadband. lol.

I'm all happy again. Just a bit poorer.

I have spoken to the door suppliers and apparently the door of my choice would have cost me more anyway so I'm only out approx $30 per door more than what it would have cost to have the glass replaced with frosted.

So all good and can look forward to moving in with my frosted doors yay!

M3tricon have been great about this and helped out as much as they could and Site Ricky is great, owe him a beer or two. Wonder how many weeks to go now.

Photos

Finally got some photos of the cabinets but I'm feeling a bit low today.

The feature doors arrived and I realised they are clear glass not frosted. I mean really!! clear glass bedroom doors. And clear glass linen cupboard, you would have thought someone would have picked up on this, and even I should have noted this on the contract.

Anyway not sure what I can do about it now as I do not want clear glass and I'm not sure how much it will cost to get it replaced with frosted glass.

Just when I had gotten over the tile costs.

I have a kitchen!!

Went out to the house Mothers day and the cabinets are in. I forgot to take my camera with me so will need to go back out to get some photos. Glenn took some on his phone but we do not have a cord to put these on pc.

It was very exciting!!!! the white and brown looks good. The benchtop is a little grey for my liking but eventually I can get a stone benchtop and this will be no prob. Wish I had done this from the beginning.

I chose to have the cupboards suspended from the floor. When I seen this in the ensuite I thought I could maybe add a cupboard under there and put those little box things for the towells. Could look cute specially if you color co-ordinated to match the bathroom.

Painting is next and then tiling. I heard back about my tiles and it's costing an extra $750 odd for my changes when I thought it was going to be easy. Not the case. Must say this is my biggist disapointment to date with the builders. If I was just given the chance at the beginning and knew what I was up for I wouldn't be upset at all. But when your told one thing and another happens it can be very frustrating.

I'm hoping this won't hold the tiles up, reminds me I must call tile ppl and tell them to order as I will be paying regardless. I think my selections will look unreal when done and I just can't wait.

I'm hoping only 8 to 10 weeks and we could be moving in. Thinking about colour selections now. We are going to get painter friends to do this so may need to wait until moved in. It would be nice to have all done but ah well.

I will update with kitchen photos as soon as possible.

WE'RE PLASTERED

Went out to the house and the plaster is nearly complete. This makes some rooms small and some rooms look bigger strange!

I took some photos which I have now added and the one of just the wall is my 3 year old's room, she wanted to take the picture herself lol. The ensuite has no door as I liked the flo through on the display homes. You can see my double shower, this will enable the whole family to have one big shower together - oh how I try and save water lol.

Counting down the weeks, even tho I have no idea when it will be done by! Hoping to be in it by July but my contract states October!! If it runs that long I will be very very disappointed. I really have no clue how long it takes from here but it's mostly fittings amd painting etc. All just needs to fall into place together.

There's a house up the road made by same which is a couple of weeks ahead of us and they now have thier inside doors hung and cupboards in, it is exciting just watching theirs as well as it's like a sneak preview of what they will be doing to ours next. Can't wait to see the doors especially the timber feature doors. I don't think they will put these in till the end tho as they are like $500 per door and have mainly frosted glass.

Anyhoo, catch up with more piccies next week.
