Finishing work continues - we've seen the painters a lot doing cornicing, skirtings, door frames, doors and other fiddly bits, leaving the walls til last. Plumbers have been in doing various bits and pieces around the house, guttering downpipes have been installed, electricians have energised the house, things like towel rails, robe hooks, toilet roll holders, etc have been installed. We also now have a garage door. Perhaps the thing we were most excited about though was our void pendant. It looks awesome!
Last weekend the cleaners showed up and spent the entire weekend thoroughly cleaning the house. There was a team of them for literally 10 hours a day on both Saturday and Sunday cleaning. I hope that's not reflective of the cleaning effort we're going to have to do! Of course it won't be as they had to clean off two years plus of construction grime.
At this stage, we're two work days away from PCI and still need the following done: Air Con vents and outside compressor installed. frameless glass balustrading to be installed, mirror splashback to our bar area to be installed and painting to be finished. It's a pretty small list and with the exception of painting, can all probably be knocked off in a day's work or less for each required trade. They drilled the holes for the balustrading yesterday so with a bit of luck, that'll be installed today/tomorrow.We've been busy lining up trades for flooring, carpets, cupboards, aggregate, etc and have them all lined up to kick off on Nov 4th, with our intention to move in early December and be settled in time for Christmas. Just hope everything else (bed, mattress, furniture) will be ready for delivery on a similar timeframe.
Getting very exciting!
