Fencing Removed, Tiles Downstairs Begin...

Well, we must be getting pretty close to having construction completed as Henley have removed the temporary fencing at the front, done another site clean and have brought in some more dirt in an attempt to level the areas surrounding the house. The tiler has been back to complete the tiling with the downstairs entry, kitchen, dining and family areas to be tiled. Once they are in its a then on to the 'fit off stage' with fit offs being completed along with a lot of painting corrections etc. Tiler should be done by the end of the week at the very latest and I can't imagine the touch ups and other stuff taking more than two weeks. Hopefully less than a month and we'll be getting our shiny new keys!!!! Progress below as usual...


Fence and Port-O-Potty gone and site cleaned. Nearly ready except for a few finishing touches yet to come.


Tiles in the entry & kitchen area have begun to be put down. Me in my baseball gear in the reflection...nice.


Tiles down in the dining and family area. Shouldn't be too long before that is complete!

Moving Right Along..

Work continues with more bits and pieces coming together this week. The tiler has completed (for the most part), the work on the upstairs bathrooms and should begin work downstairs on Friday the 8th, despite Henley's claims that he would be completed by the end of this week. Nevertheless, we are once again extremely pleased with the workmanship of the tiling and are hopeful that the downstairs tiling will continue in the same manner and move quickly. Check out the latest!

T-Minus One Month???

Henley have 'said' that they would like construction to be completed by the end of this month! So would we! It would still be a couple weeks after that before we would get the keys, but with a baby due in late April or early May it will be just enough time to get in and get settled! Hard to update with Pic's when we are locked out most of the time, but here are a few from the outside looking in...the downstairs anyway.


Electrical fit out completed. Note the power points in the walls of the kitchen too! Yes, we will be getting new light fixtures. Those are EXTREMELY temporary!


Tiles have been laid upstairs, and prepped to be laid downstairs...can't wait!

Garage door, installed!


Last but not least, our front door!
