After the dramatic change inside by Thursday, a lot of finishing happened. From here on out, it will go less dramatically so may not make for much material for photos -also difficult to get good interior shots. Here are some from earlier today.
Garage door is only major difference.
In Carmen's study - went for door and a half to open it up a bit. Bright sun-filled room.
In main bedroom looking towards door. Cavity sliding door on right to walk-in closet.
Towards kitchen area -that is the next step - installation of kitchen. The electrical wire sticking out of the ground is because we are having power to the island. We decided against a salad sink in favour of an uninterrupted counter top working space. The main sink will be like 2 feet away in any case. We didn't put a scullery in as we never leave dishes in the sink anyway, so for those who may wonder about it looking cluttered, our dishes get rinsed immediately and always go straight into dishwasher.
Cornices finished ready for lights. Just a note on that. We are having 50 downlights throughout the house. The sparkies (electricians) here charge $100 each for them! It cost us $5k additional just for downlighters! It is insane, but that is Aus -some things are expensive without any real reason.
Alfresco ceiling is in.
C u next week!

Wow Rodney, I don't visit for a while and you've got a whole house built and looking fabulous!

Hey Laura, Thanks - Yes went quickly but has slowed -nothing much happened this week as they await the tiles and kitchen. Seems our life revolves at the moment around the building! Will be glad when it is done! Hope you guys are well?
Now the exciting stuff starts - walls and roofs are all very well, but it's the finishing off bits that make things come to life - for me, anyway.
I'd say we are all good, thanks Rodney, but it just so happens that the whole household is man down with the flu right now - except for me, carrying on like a good little trooper - let's hear it for vitamin C!
