December 18th 2016

The fixing stage begins. Happy this was pushed through before Xmas.

Beginning with the stairs. Didn't think I'd be so excited to see stairs!

18th December 2016

Our cabinets arrived and the assembly begun. Funny how you forget how everything looked, particularly colours, until they come together. It's like an Ikea station without the instructions.

Haha definitely IKEA station without instructions
This is the stage we're @ now cabinets were delivered yesterday. No doubt assembly would've started. love that burnished wood, always wished we went with that. love this journey

Just caught up on your thread PeteK, so great to see your journey. You actually started a few months after us and are very close to us! Great job, sounds like your SM has been awesome! Ours tells us off if we are on site as we pick up issues and he doesn't like us seeing errors! Looking forward to seeing more as you load them Oh and that view, OMG, it is to die for!!!!!!!

Thanks Kylz. Wish I had found this site earlier as there are lots of tips and tricks to be found from other people's experiences. Our carpet is going in today so it's getting there, thanks for reading.

Fixtures looking great in their places.

It sure is!!

Yay for carpet, makes it feel more finished when you see that

End of 2016

We were really happy that the house had taken on a new form in the last month once M declared that there was a backlog in jobs on other sites due to the weather. These had all reached completion just before Xmas and now we had more run at it. We knew that the Xmas period would be frustrating looking at an idle house. Our painter was going to work through Xmas, but there were still jobs waiting to be finished before they could start.

Garage steps and level still proves to be a bit of a headache. Square setting of the garage walls looks good though.

28th February 2017

Painting complete inside the house as well as stone benchtops. We chose white all over, ceiling and walls, to keep a crisp look, which still allows an easy paint over if other colours in certain rooms are preferred down the track. I'm a keen painter and will most likely get bored and change the colour of different rooms.

Study.



Sitting Room



Leisure Room



Happy with the bulkhead.

10 March 2017

Tiling has been completed. Kitchen tiles not right so will be replaced on one side when tilers return to complete balcony. Kitchen bench is a great size!
Again, basic white tiles chosen for all walls. I like how simple they are, not a huge fan of tiles, expecially on the floor.

10th March 2017

I keep stopping when on site to take in the view. Today there was a storm rolling in across the ocean.

9th March 2017

Electrical. Like this part, I get to play with the lights. Again, always funny how you forget what you ordered!
Left out the lights in the kitchen and dining room so we can choose what we want later (besides, nothing caught our eye at the time of decision making at Beacon).

Love your view. Your house looks amazing. If only M built the house as fast as you posted your pictures
