My first build South West WA - Taps, HWS

Page 8 of 10
Congrats on the roof!
Yay how exciting Smiley
How exciting you have a roof
Your build is really going at a very good pace - you'll overtake ours soon!
Thanks, went to visit Thursday afternoon and there was 7 plasterers busily working away. Apparently they will be back Monday or Tuesday to do the white set


Some guy was there Friday afternoon removing all the spare bricks but I quickly let him know to leave my bricks behind thanks, they are mine. Luckily he did but a bit rude that he was just going to take them. Especially because I had already emailed the office about them.



7 people? That's a lot for plasterer.


Are you sure that those people are from the builder? I just saw two people with a truck on Saturday, picking up left over bricks in front of people house. It seems like a general trend that people just "steal" bricks. They are left over so I wasn't going to fuss.
My itty bitty house has white set in the master bedroom, ensuite, WIR, second bedroom, bathroom, laundry and one wall in the living area. Bit weird that they have done some walls and not the one opposite but done the next room.

I have had an email from Aussie - ceilings and windows are scheduled for next week
I am so close to lock up now.


That is how they did our white set too Smiley, it took over a week for them to do ours! All the fun stuff comes next! Your tiles and cabinets!
That is a lot of progress Smiley
They did ours in parts too. Said that some of the walls were still to wet for the white set, so they did the dry ones first. It is about time you showed us another picture hehe
OMG lookie:









It's just so exciting, bad part is that's it almost door time and they will lock me out


Bet your excited. .... never mind about being locked out... its one more step closer to moving in.... so happy for you ☺
Oh wow the whiteset opens it up does't it? It looks like a proper house now. I also like how you already have your verge planted
The cornices were installed today and I put some light fittings on lay-by at Beacon Lighting.

So here we go cause we all love pictures


My small person wanted bling so here is her surprise


Living room, kitchen, hall and dining


Master bedroom - I wanted plain


Spare room


Bathroom, WIR, toilets, ensuite and laundry


Luckily they are all DIY, although my outside lights will all need an electrician

Under eaves out the back and carport


Side wall out the back


And the only external DIY Is for the front entry with a sensor


I hope I got those in the right order .

My other major purchase for post handover is paint and painting supplies. Oops nearly forgot fences for the rear, really should get quotes for that I suppose.

At this stage I am not planning any new furniture purchases. Although I would really love a new TV cabinet.




Interesting. Out builder does the cornice first before whiteset. I think that would have been harder because they have to be careful not to mess up the cornice. Anyway, looking good. It looks like you have a pretty high ceiling! Soon to be in lock up stage!
How exciting Smiley! One more step closer
Hi Sofia, all my ceilings are 32 course
Thanks Kellie

I drove past at lunchtime and glass has been installed



Your daughter will be so in love with that light - lucky girl
Congrats on being glazed!!
I am locked out of my itty bitty house




And I have had deliveries too



Wonder if I will get keys before Christmas??


Yay! Hopefully you will make it in before Xmas! I have my fingers crossed for you
Oh my gosh CONGRATULATIONS on being locked out
- it is very exciting but very annoying if you can't see what's happening inside.
builder is still saving Late January for keys

I have had the kitchen cupboards installed and pretty sure bathroom and ensuite cabinets are done too. I can't see the bathroom and ensuite ones though.
