Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building a Wisdom Prosperity 23- We have a Kitchen!!!!! 521Sep 06, 2009 12:13 am Well, have been flat out this week so didn't have much time to get into the forum and share the progress. I also didn't have any pics so I thought I better wait till I can manage to get into the house and take some as I know best than putting an update without pics! There's been quite a bit of progress over the last week and a half: - Internal paining nearly finished - door handles installed - plumbing fit out done (taps, toilets, bath, etc installed) - shower screens installed - Electrical done and alarm installed - some mirrors installed It's all going so fast that we are getting dizzy! our SS the magician has advised that maybe we could get handover by the end of the month, he'll know better in the next couple of weeks... OMG! If that's the case we might have to move in without blinds and just use the redi shades for a while as we still haven't managed to decided what to do where and have been too busy doing the retaining walls that we haven't had a chance to go and check out materials or types of blinds... Lots of pics in the blog!

I was wondering where you had got to, hadnt seen any updates for a while. I cant believe how fast your build is going and your view is WOW. Your build is looking great i just took a look at your blog and maybe finished by end of month?!?!?! now that has to be the fastest build i have seen. I have my fingers crossed for you, we have the same problem as you cant make or mind up on window covers and the way it is going we will end up with sheets in the windows I have always said to my partner i was never going to have SHEETS hanging in our windows. Congrats on the progress and im very happy for you! all is looking great Re: Building a Wisdom Prosperity 23- Progress photofest 5/09/09 523Sep 06, 2009 8:16 am Hi Jochicho - Your house is looking absolutley fantastic.

Congrats on the progress and im very happy for you! all is looking great Thanks 1sstimer! Yeah, sorry, have been so busy that have managed a couple ** reads at the forum so I know more or less what you are all up to but didn't have much time to post or update the blog. We can't believe how fast is going either, too scared to start celebraring yet just in case... I always said NO SHEETs on the window and I'll stick to it hence why we'll be using the Redi shades... I got some from bunnings today as they are reduced so I got just them just in case... can always return them if I don't need them... KnockItDown Hi Jochicho - Your house is looking absolutley fantastic. Congrats on the progress. Rgds Leonard. Thanks Leonard! your place is looking great too! Oh by the way, I stole an empty bucket of plaster from your build! They cleaned up our site and we needed one to mix the mortar for the besser blocks so we took one from your recycle rubish pile... principessa Oooh I get so excited when I see the word "photofest" Your house looks AMAZING!!!

I had a colorbond man moment . Hey can you tell me what colour your walls are throughout your home? looks similar to what we have picked - which doesn't suprise me - and I am a bit nervous about our selection. Fee1, did you say OCD? I'm not OCD . Just because I like to clean my pantry and fridge out every time I open it, doesn't mean that I am OCD does it?

Do you stack all of your spice jars and cans with the labels facing the same way? Steve likes to turn one every now and again and watch me go insane Okay, you just gave me heart palpitations at the thought of the labels being turned around . They look so much better when they are all neat in a line at the front of the pantry. I am trying to break my OCDness cos it was getting really bad and I was starting to have panic attacks if I found a spoon in the sink. I used to hang our clothes in colours, light to dark of that colour and short sleeve to long. But now I am learning to just hang them up... and although, I still colour coordinate mine into colours, I am getting there. I have also learnt not to fix anything that Mark does around the house that is done differently to me, and I only clean the cupboards with the pots and pans in it about once a month now and not once a week. So there you have it, another thing you can add to the "i think she's a bit weird" pile . Re: Building a Wisdom Prosperity 23- Progress photofest 5/09/09 540Sep 08, 2009 6:58 am Hey Jochicho... we aren't having white smoke (except for the eaves).. we picked a colour called Kid Skin. Now that I have looked at your pics again, ours is going to be a little darker. We have also picked White for the doors, skirting and architraves and we have changed our skirting from the standard to colonial (even though Anita had said that noone has EVER changed their skirting) .
