31st August
August ended in a big way for us, we had the render, cladding, painting completed,and vanities and garage door installed. We were questioning our cladding and render colour as we are using it as our internal wall colour aswell, it was showing a slight yellow tint in the external photos we were sent but the interal looks fine... thank goodness. Its all coming together now.we can not wait until we're in..... approx 5-6 weeks left!
21st August
Update for this week, we are now just over 14 weeks since site cut. We had our internal fixout, cladding, eaves, and render start.The renderer is doing the top half of the house first, the painter will be going by and painting what is completed of the render/cladding and eaves. Privacy screens and Kitchen fitout are due on Monday. Scaffolding to be removed on Tuesday. I guess somewhere in there the renderers will complete the rest of the house as the Painter is due back on Wednesday to finish the lower half of the exterior and start the interior painting. Looks like all we have left scheduled for September is the last of the carpentry, tiling, garage door, plumbing and electrical to be finalised, and a well overdue site clean. Can not wait till we have the keys!
12th August
Our stairs have been completed, and so has all the waterproofing to the wet areas, Scaffolding is back up for the Eaves carepenter to start on friday, seems that the SS and CSC have had their wires crossed, again. The Cladding is yet to start. Render still due next week.
5th August
Our original SS has returned from parental leave, and has given us the upcoming schedule for the next couple of weeks, looks like its all steam ahead, the weather has been co-operating which is nice, just need the rain to stay away for another 2-3 weeks and everything that needs to be completed in "Dry weather" should be done. We were ecstatic to be told the build is due to be completed Mid-October! gives us just enough time to sort out moving, enrolling the kids into new schools and also gives us a couple of months to settle and set up our new home ready for Christmas! A mid October finish also means our two-storey build would have only taken 22 weeks. fingers crossed it all stays on schedule. Water proofing, and render to be done next week.
