Looking very nice, Jovi. I'm interested by the space on either side of your overhead cupboards. It's a good look, but is there also something going in that space?

Thanks, Yes it does look nice with the space but we have complained as it is meant to have no gaps! It was written in the contract but not on the drawings.. sussing it out now!!

Ahhh

I thought you might be lobbing a wine rack or something up on either side.

Haha nahh, don't need one as it will be not use to us. Still sussing it out, hoping we can just put 300mm cupboards on each side to fill the gaps. Fingers cross

Hey guys, thought I might post some pictures of the Laundry cabinets and the Island bench. Painting still in progress, happy I chose 3 coat paint as it look flawless.

Hi, the house is going great everyone. Will post an update tomorrow. Today signed a contract to order and install our Solar Electricity System with the government rebate secured, all up 17 panels and a 3.5kw inverter with options to add more panels. This should bump up our energy rating for the house hopefully, also will be installing in the near future LED downlights.

Now a question which needs to answered ASAP!, I found that the land division peg had been pulled out because the neighbor were installing their underground electricity, I don't know if their allowed to do this but they haven't put it back?? Answered!!!

Hey jovi your house is looking awesome ... Cant wait to see more pics. Wish our house had a roof but thanks to the weather it has been too windy and wet lately the builders musnt be interested in getting up there. Apparently the windows are arriving wednesday so i am thinking they might be out there putting the roof on then.

Thanks Bindi!!

. That is such a bummer that you don't have a roof especially in this weather, it's so wet and windy. Wish you good luck that they put it up this week, also we had our windows before the roof was up!!!

. Can't wait to see more progress pictures.

Popped up a few minutes ago, Electricians were in the house installing the Electrical Fit off and I must say they have done a great job, downlights in main areas look fantastic and the facade lights will be beautiful. Hopefully tomorrow I can take some photos. Also still waiting on a reply for the cupboards in the kitchen, the head office must be taking there time.

Wonder what's next after the Electrical Fit off?
