the cleaning...

Crews have been busy cleaning the interior of our house. We drove by early this morning, had a peek in the window. Still no overhead cupboards in the kitchen... Still the incorrect rangehood... Cant really see too much more, as we have obscure/translucent glass on a few windows.

There's a handful of yellow dots inside... happy to see them on the window sill of the family room window. We're told the big bow in this window will be fixed before PCI (yay!). The glass panels of the ensuite window are yet to be replaced (they dont match each other), but this will also be done prior to PCI. Lots of yellow dots on the exterior. Render that needs to be cleaned off the timber windows...Mortar/paint that needs to be cleaned off bricks...

Brick sills outside the master bedroom haven't been replaced yet. There's awful big gaps where there shouldn't be. There weren't any yellow dots here, but we're hoping our SS hasn't forgotten about them (perhaps reading this post will jog his memory?). There's also a few small sections of eaves that haven't been painted yet. You'd think the painter could stay an extra 30 seconds to finish the job?

Our SS is working on finishing one more house before ours... so we're next on the list. We're told our file should go to the handover department around June 8th... then hopefully we'll get a call within a few days for the final inspection. All going well (when does it ever go well?) we should have keys around end June... (not holding my breath).

the new bar stools...

We've been eyeing these babies off for a few months now... after seeing Hels bought them in white, and was really happy with them, we went ahead and bought ours in red!

the render completed...

The render is finished! It makes such a difference having the little contrast trim around the portico.

the door handles...

Drove our to the block yesterday. Very excited to see fly screens fitted to the windows, and door handles on the cupboards and doors!
