Exciting progress

Let me start by apologising for the delay in update. After a month of unexciting progress, it's nice to be writing again with a more exciting update 😀

About a week after my last update, a large truck showed up with a team of people to install our kitchen, scullery and laundry cabinetry. This is a significant step toward finishing and the first time we're really seeing all our colour selections come to life. It was also really cool to find little things we didn't know we were getting, like a little drawer over our bin to keep bin bags, etc. We also discovered the rangehood was already installed, along with the underbench strip lighting.

The following week, the electrical team showed up and starting fitting off our light switches and power points and installing our downlights throughout the house. We also saw deliveries of all our internal doors, skirting boards, shelving and other finishing items for the carpenter. The tiles for the downstairs bathrooms, laundry and main floor tile were also delivered.

This week, the finishing carpenter started, hanging all the doors and building the shelving in our linen cupboards. The cabinet makers are also back today putting in cabinetry to our bar area. Really pleased to see some fairly consistent progress.

Outside of the Stannard part of the build, we've also been busy getting quotes for finishing trades and have decided on Curtainworld for our shutters and curtains and HCM Concrete for our driveway, porch, house surrounds and pool apron aggregate. We're hoping to nail down our preferred vendor for robes and finishing cabinets soon. Starting to really come together now!
