Yea I agree to get extra lights in the kitchen... We only got 3 in 1 too for our bathrooms, that should provide you with plenty of lighting.

All those cat 6 data points would have been costly!!@

Yeah it is which is why I didn't think we needed extras. So I'm still not sold on that. I think we will do the extra downlight in the kitchen though. Then we know that it's enough.

Oh god no I wouldn't be sold on that either, if you added more lights to the bathroom it would turn into a solarium. Yeap the kitchen one is a good idea though.

What Lighting guy did you see today Ilaeria?

Ilaeria · Apr 07, 2015 6:33 am

I went to the lighting superstore and beacon in helensvale homeworld. We will probably get at least one more quote from another store, and we need to redo the beacon one because we're not happy with the outdoor lights.

They were a little, yeah, but they're all allocated. Our development has NBN to the premises so we want to make the most of it!

I am completely obsessing over the weather, checking my phone app every 5 minutes. Please keep the rain away long enough to get our slab down on Tuesday!

It's sunny all week then a "slight" chance of showers all weekend

I was hoping they'd try and squeeze it in this week but nope, spoke to my SS today and still scheduled for the waffles to go down on Monday and the slab to pour on Tuesday.

Roomeat · Apr 08, 2015 8:13 pm

I would think maybe they waiting for the ground to dry a little?

Ilaeria · Apr 08, 2015 8:15 pm

Yeah I guess so. There has been quite a lot of rain. I'm not really frustrated with them...yet

TraceyWayne · Apr 09, 2015 9:42 pm

Posting to follow Jen, fingers crossed for your slab next week :-)

Ilaeria · Apr 09, 2015 9:50 pm

Thanks TraceyWayne, it's been a gorgeous week on the Goldy this week so I'm hoping it holds over the weekend!

What a beautiful outlook youre going to have from the master suite - well worth waking up to!

Hope the weather behaves for you! Looking forward to updates and photos!

Thanks Bonnie

It's looking tentatively okay so far! It's been so long without anything happening, I really hope we can get the slab down on Tuesday and get moving!

mim_feher · Apr 10, 2015 11:14 am

Fingers crossed for slab next week, hopefully the rain stays away. Will be waiting for pictures.

Tribe7 · Apr 10, 2015 5:37 pm

The long range forecast is looking good, slight chance of showers. They said that about this week and it has been glorious. I hope it stays nice and dry for you.

Ilaeria · Apr 10, 2015 5:38 pm

Thanks tribe, yeah that's what I keep telling myself!

We did a drive-by today not expecting much, but we have in fact had some progress:

The Leaning Portaloo of Ormeau:

Feets for the slab:

So at this stage it looks like we're on track for slab on Tuesday! Hooray!

In other news, our neighbour who is also building with Plantation has finally had their site scrape done too, so they're not as far behind us as we were initially expecting, which is also awesome. It's all starting to come together!

Shanniidc · Apr 11, 2015 11:09 am

Yay! And the weather looks set to be great too!
