Cabinetry & Wet Areas Waterproofed

We took another drive up on Saturday, even though we now no longer can get access to our home...funny that eh!!! We were hoping there may have been someone working on Saturday morning, but unfortunately not. So we just had to cope with peering through the windows at what had been done. Dave took all these photos on his camera phone....pretty good if I say so myself! On some of them just putting his arm through the window and hoping for the best!!

During the week the carpenter had been doing his or her thing....the bathroom cabinet is in, well the downstairs one anyway, we presume they had done upstairs too. The laundry one was done, along with the temporary kitchen bench - this is going to be moved out and put into Dave's garage as a work bench - a very flash work bench I might add!!!

The balustrade on the staircase had also been installed.

The waterproofing had been done for the wet areas too.Cabinetry & sink in ensuite, downstairs...

The internal doors had also been hung too downstairs, and we guess upstairs as well.

The tiler will be present this week.

Yeah we have a staircase and extenal doors!

Today we arrived at our house and discovered that we had a front door, which was locked, along with an internal garage door, also locked, a laundry door, again locked and all the sliding doors were locked too - hmmm guess were not going to get access this weekend!!! So we proceeded to check out progress through the windows. Most of the cornice had been installed and the plastering was finished.

View through the alfresco doors down the hallway to our front door!!

We were getting a bit hungry so we walked up to the club house for a bite to eat, read the papers and had a chat to some of the residents. After lunch we did a drive by and discovered a truck outside the house, it was the waterproofer guy coming to do the bathrooms - so we managed to get access to check out our staircase, and the work done on the cornices.

We now have internal walls

We had another excursion on Saturday to view progress and to our amazement we have internal walls throughout the whole house! There were six guys busily working away at noon on Saturday plastering all the gyprock. It has taken them two and a half days to put all the walls up and plaster - totally amazing.

This is a collage of the entrance way through to the open plan kitchen, dining and lounge....top left is a view from the living area through to the kitchen on the left and dining on the right - then the right hand side picture is again from the living area looking into the walk in pantry.

Bottom left is the view from the front door through the hallway into the open plan area, and the bottom right view is of the living area and the kitchen on the right hand side.

Then we have the upstairs....top row views is of the master bedroom and en suite. Middle row is of the landing and open plan living area from one of the bedrooms through to the study and vice versa. The bottom row is of the open plan living area and the main bathroom.

This gives you an idea now what the rooms are starting to look like.

Here's a view of the roof finally complete too.

This week the skirting, cornice's and architraves will be put in place, then the painters will be through, followed by the tilers and carpet layers and then all the bathroom fittings will be installed.

Until the next update...
