Construction - Week 13

 
 
This week is turning into a very slow & frustrating week, the painters have been delayed at another job & we are now being told they won't start until next week. :(
 
Basically nothing much has or will be done this week apart from a little bit of sanding

Construction - Week 12

Tuesday 12th March 2013
 
CABINETS
 
Yesterday (Monday) was Labour Day public holiday so nothing was done on the house but when we went there today we were very excited to see that most of the cabinets have been put in including the kitchen!!
 
 
 
The kitchen, the doors still need to be put on and the pot draws put in.
The Colour is laminex pumice
 



 
The bathroom - Caesar stone bench top still to be put on
We went with the same colour as the kitchen & ensuite, Laminex pumice
 
 
 
 
 
The Laundry
The doors are laminex pumice & the bench top is Laminex oyster linea
 
 
   
 
 
 
The Ensuite - Caesar Stone bench tops still to be put on
The colour is Laminex Pumice
 
 
 
 
 
The rumpus room cupboards we added for extra storage. The doors and the bench top are both Laminex Pumice
 
 
 
 
 
 
ARCHITRAVES & SKIRTING
 
 All the architraves & skirting has now been finished
 
 
INTERNAL DOORS
 
Most of the internal doors have been hung all that is left is
 
- Bedroom 2 robe doors
- the door that we added between the kitchen/living area & the hallway/rumpus
- Cavity sliding door to the walk in pantry
- Cavity sliding door from the master bedroom to the ensuite
 
 
 We still have the temporary front door & temporary internal access door from the garage, I'm not sure when the proper ones get put on.
 
 
Wednesday 13th March 2013 
 
 The kitchen cabinets were finished and the kitchen bulkhead installed. I am a little disappointed with the kitchen as we were told we had overhead cupboards along the whole of the top (except where the rangehood will be) as in the display home but it turns out we dont, we have a gap either end. unfortunatly this is how it is shown in our final plans and we didnt pick up on it. Hopefully when it is all finished it will came up ok.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
All the door handle have been put on the cabinets
 
 
 
 
 
 The missing internal doors have been hung, meaning that all internal doors have been hung now
 
And we also have our front door
 
 
 
Thursday 14th March 2013
 
Today we received our invoice for fixing stage & painting is dueto start next week.

Monday 4th March 2013
 
 
Today the architraves, door frames & doors were started
 
 
 
 
 
The render was also put on the front of the house, although it is yet to be painted
 
 
 
 
Tuesday 5th March 2013
 
 
The doors and the architraves were finished today and the skirting boards started


Friday 8th March 2013

The kitchen & all the cabinets (laundry, bathroom, ensuite, rumpus room) were delivered today. I dont think they will be installed until next wednesday as Monday is Labour day & i think Tuesday is an RDO :( but at least they are there.

We have also been told that painting will start by the end of next week so lets hope so

 
 
 


Construction - Week 10

Monday 25th February 2013 - Friday 1st March 2013

This week seemed to be a very slow moving week, the cornices were done and all the plaster sanded but that is about all we could see.
 
On Thursday all the doors, door frames and skirting boards were delivered.
