Eaves and skirtings

Well we are into the fixing stage - whatever that means!

Progress this week is
- most doors are on, except for wardrobe doors and the laundry (they are in the entrance way waiting to go)
- all window architraves are on
- skirtings are on for about two thirds of the house
- under the eaves has now been finished, aside from painting of course

Our kitchen and bathroom vanities are being built and hopefully will appear next week. A couple of changes there - the kitchen cupboards needed to be made larger than the standard plan to fit our selected sinks, so the cupboard next door needed to be made smaller. We have asked for this to be two pot drawers instead. Just waiting for final drawings to come through for us to sign off on.

And... we got a call this week telling us the laminate we had chosen for the vanity top in the bathroom and the powder room has been discontinued. I had noticed a while ago that it had disappeared from the Laminex website, so was more or less expecting this news. We have now chosen 'Fudge Stream' which was my original choice way back until I got worried it was too brave! I am happy with it now, will look good I think.

So some photos. Firstly outside showing the eaves.



See architraves and skirtings below!



Looking from the back room up the hallway. Doorway to laundry is on the right.

The entrance to our bedroom with double doors and double doggies.

The other hallway with bedrooms going off. Showing doors and architraves. Looking much more finished now. Surely we can move in soon!

We will probably head out to the display house again this weekend or next - it has been a while and we haven't been since the build started. Given the house is to be finished as per the display, it will be a good time to remind ourselves of some of the finer details.

Hope to have photos of a kitchen next week!
