Tile update & Render

Just a Quick one.......................... Here are our feature tiles and some piccies of our render its not painted yet but its up Yippee!!!!!!

to grouted tomorrow..................... I LOVE them!!

We have tiles!!!!

After a long time with no progress at our new house, we have had work done this week.................................... YAY!!!!

The big news is that last weekend we bought our pool only to find out that the builders plumbers had a little bit of an oopsy and put all the sewer lines right where we notified them back last November that our pool was to be located but much to our delight Metricon as always has been AWESOME and are rectifying the plumbing issues for us by redirecting all the sewerage before handover, big stress avoided!!!! 

And today we popped past our beautiful, wonderful house to have a little look to find our tiling is all done in the kitchen, meals, family room, hallway, laundry, linen room, and bathroom. They are dirty from the grout but they look divine I am so happy with how they have come up as I must confess I was second guessing our choice that they may have been a little yellow............. But they look beautiful I can't wait to see them CLEAN!!!!

What a week, we were broken into (at the new house) and had our kitchen sink stolen, we then find out that the SH!T HEADS also stole our wonderful painters equipment, I am more sad and upset about the painters stuff than I am about our sink..................... He is such a lovely guy and he has been through so much, he lost everything in the black Saturday fires last year and is rebuilding to then have his stuff stolen from our house :(


But ........................................................ Karma will get the bad guys one day!!!!!!!!



On the up side though we have had our bench top installed last week and they look AWESOME!!!!!

This is our kids bathroom (it looks so much better in real life).....................The photo does it no justice!!

This is the butlers pantry...............Ice snow............... it looks so bright and clean I LOVE IT!!!!

And now for the most breathtaking bench of all time.............................................................................

Our Front Door & Painting

Here is a pic of our Front door and I love it, I can't wait to see it stained!!! We were told tonight that on average it is about 8 weeks from the paining stage until handover.................. I don't know how I feel about that seeing as they started painting today and we have soooooooooooo much stuff to do to our house now before we can list it as a rental............EEEEEEK!!!!! Now I'm very stressed!  It was very dark when we got there tonight but the painter was there still, again outstanding effort from yet another one of Shawn's FANTASTIC tradies!!!! so he was nice enough to bring his work light into the front entrance so that I could take a picture for our album. OH and to share with YOU!!!!

Update 27th May............... ILOVE my house!!

Hey here is another update ............. Cornices are all up, the bricks are all done excluding the fireplace in the Grand Outdoor Room and the skirting boards have been delivered, here are the pics to show you!!

We also got a call to say that our kitchen is due to be put in tomorrow with the painters coming in next week, so it is powering along like a well oiled machine.................. Can you tell I'm married to a mechanic????? hahahahahaha!!

And we ordered our family portraits on canvas for the house last night and they are awesome, I can't wait to get them and hang them in our beautiful house!! For those of you in Victoria check out VERVE portraits they are in Surrey Hills they are the best (but a bit expensive) check them out!

Picture Update 22nd May.

We stopped by to have a look at what has been done this week at our house as we have been so very busy all week that we only stopped quickly right on night fall on Wednesday, the plasterers where there but were NOT happy to see me!!!!!! So we went today camera in hand to record what has been done............


Lets start with the out side........

And now........................Drum roll.........................The inside................................

this is the dining & family rooms looking from the kitchen.

This is the dining & kitchen looking from the family room.......

The door on the back wall is to the butlers pantry.

These are our babies, standing in the hallway looking into the family room..................Perfect spot for a family portrait I'm thinking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally for today........................This is our ensuite ...........our spa will go into that hob!!!

Things are progressing so fast we are in shock, the quality of the work being done is fantastic, we are so lucky that we have such a great site manager, the subcontractors that he uses are very good. Metricon have been a dream to work with....................we are happy happy happy!!!! We can't wait to be able to call this beautiful house our home!
