Tiles & splashback - Wk 31

Hi everyone,
Well tiling progress is happening :-)
I did notice one mistake! My bathroom feature tiles are meant to go right across! This will need to be fixed! As I upgraded the mirror to go all the way across, so it will look silly if not changed!

Kitchen handles still have not been changed, this will hopefully happen soon! in discussion with PD about this ATM!

Very happy with how it is all looking though, tiler has done a great job! My red splashback has been installed too :-) See pics below!


Red splashback - love this!

Fixing stage completed @ Wk 28

Hi everyone,
Well we received our fixing invoice today, very exciting :-)

We are meeting our SS tomorrow morning which I'm really excited about as I haven't been in the house since early aug, just after plastering was complete. Will take lots of pics & post tomorrow night!

All that's left is garage door, portico rendered, balcony floor to be built, electrical fittings, painting, carpets, floating floors & tiles to bathrooms, laundry & balcony. We are going to be in before we know it :-) My husband & I are getting excited more each day.

The only hiccup is that the incorrect handles were put in my kitchen :-( due to my first rep picking the wrong code. so they all have to be changed. This might cause a delay after talking to my rep today due to the holes for the incorrect handle lengths may be to long so all the cupboards will have to be re-done Arghhh!!! Hopefully it's an easy thing to do and it can be easily swapped. The other thing was on the weekend when I looked thru the windows I noticed that all the architrives/ skirting wasn't what I chose at hopetoun :-( I picked big ones and bullnose, I have sml ones that are squared. I said to my rep I was disappointed but it was on the selection list! I should have checked Arghhh! I don't want to get them all re done when it's all been fitted! So people that have just done selections check that what u picked as I have had 2 differing things now. Architrives not as big issue really, but kitchen handles to me are very important lol.

Today I brought the most gorgeous chair! A boutique homewares store is going into liquidation 'Carina Sherlock' so I basically got the chair at a bargain price. See pic below!
In love with this chair lol

Front doors on & kitchen in

Hi everyone,
Drove past the house tonight 5 mins before it got dark as I got an update today from my SS & rep saying that the kitchen was in!
To my delight my chosen front doors have finally been put on & the kitchen was indeed fitted as well as the laundry. couldn't get in but had a quick look thru the windows.
Noticed that the incorrect handles were put on my kitchen so I quickly emailed my SS to fix!
Apparently all fixing will be completed by Friday & finally I have been given a PCI estimated date - end of oct! Very excited.
See pic below of my front doors!
