We Keep Moving Forward

Another week passes and we have more progress, which considering I was told hardly anything would be done over the holidays I am quite pleased with what actually has been completed prior to the official start work date which is tomorrow.

The plastering is almost complete, just some cornices and spotting (I think its called that, you know where they join the sheets of plaster) in the walk in robe and the laundry and the house is done. The only remaining area to be plastered is the garage.

The in-fills have been completed, the eve under the veranda has been done and the concrete footings for the aircon condenser has also been done.

The one issue we do have is the aircon guys have cut out all the vents, they happen to be perfect circles, only issue is we specified and paid extra for square registers so they will be fixing that little mistake. I will ring the Construction Manager tomorrow and point this out, I am sure he would rather know now instead after things have been painted!

All that’s left to do inside is the architraves, doors, cabinets and kitchen, painting and the electrical & plumbing fit-off, shouldn’t take em too long!!!!

Below are some pictures of the finished off plaster work.





Its been amazing to see what they have done while on holidays, lets hope we get even more progress when they are officially back on the job, I guess I will find out next weekend.

Totally Plastered

Well it happens to the best of us, its that time of year, you know where you over indulge and maybe enjoy a few too many bevies and you wind up PLASTERED!!

Yes, god bless the plasterers and short holidays because on a visit over the weekend most of the plastering is complete, just the cornices, the edging and joins to be finished off.

Its funny, someone told me that your house looks bigger once its plastered and I thought they were having a laugh, but its true and it’s the first time the interior looks like a house.

We have started the year off well so lets hope the rapid progress continues.

You can always look at the plan by clicking on it on the right hand side menu and I have added an interior panoramic shot that we will attempt to use to document our progress inside.
