Halls Head Beach House

Door looks good especially with the handle. You can't be far away from handover?

Mozzies were great last summer. A combination of weather and treatment did wonders. It's either the La Niña or El Niño that affects the tides. Extreme or higher than predicted tides means treatment is useless due to all the samphire wetlands around the estuary. Last year was great. But shouldn't be an issue near the beach with the wind.

The servery screen was something we knew nothing about. We asked for it but didn't know now it would work. But it's really neat and will be a great (and not expensive) feature for our verandah (which is out of the wind).

Got in today and caught up with SS.

Final gyprock being completed (top of stairs/void and window sills upstairs so we can get shutters fitted)

Tiling started, but may have apruptly ended just when we arrived. I hope they're back soon
Final painting, plumbing and electrical booked for next week. Starting to get our list together.

Kitchen benches (with obligatory green tape) note the feature tile sitting on the bench

Laundry tiling commenced. Same floor tile going in both bathrooms too. Not too dark but not too light either.

Really happy with how our colour choices have come together. We didn't go overboard in getting everything matched up appears to have worked well. An example is the render on porch posts working with the paving edge. We also went with subtle changes in tiles / cupboards between all wet areas.

Looking good! Lovely colour selections which will go with everything.

More tiling progressed.

Ensuite with shower including tiled shelf just showing

There's been more progress today but no photos. It's looking good though.

The tiled shelf was about $100. We have one in our current house and couldn't do without it.

Been heaps going on in the last few days.

Tiling progressed, electrical work commenced, balustrading installed, oven in etc etc. Our paving has been cleaned up and we finally got a pic of the garage door. As reported above, we can't believe how well our colours go together, including the retaining wall and steps to the park and the contrasting render on the piers.

Alfresco (from park). We intend to put a fence up here in the style of rotto beach cottage balcony balustrading to bring in the beach theme.

Garage door (out the back). Goes well with roof colour and a good contrast to the paving and fencing in the laneway
