the home stretch...

Hubby went past today and dropped in asking if he could have a look around ... the kitchen is in! also the vanities in the bathrooms are also done and the doors have been installed! Everything is looking great and we're getting excited. It has been so worth it now at this point. We're very happy and relieved that the colours have come together nicely so far. There is still a fair way to go before we can move in as we are doing the flooring, landscaping, decking and fencing etc ourselves but at least the builder's job has been moving at a rapid and reasonably well done rate. Will try to schedule a visit for next week and take some photos.

Hubby is investigating options for the front fence which we want done in matching brick and metal fencing with automatic gate. He's currently replacing the side gates for our current home so the handyman in him is gonna be getting a good workout in the next few months.

We had originally asked the builder to tack the skirting boards on as we are doing the tiling on the ground floor ourselves (or rather getting someone else besides the builder to do it) and they were happy to do so but when hubby checked today, they had nailed it in fully but left us a gap below the skirting boards so the tiles would fit. Hopefully this will be ok when we get the tiling done.

there still needs to be painting, wall tiling, some electrical and plumbing and some finishing touches to do but this shouldn't take that long.
