The shed is finished and DH, who so far hasn't been too nit picky about the house, was checking the workmanship of the shed very closely.. was quite funny. So some pics from this weekends visit. Shed (aka man cave) completed. We now don't have to set up 'camp' each trip which was starting to get old.

Very happy with them both. I know the tiles wont be everyone's cup of tea but we love them and that they are a little different.

A couple of things we are not happy with and will need to discuss with builder but other than that happy with our tile selections and looking forward to screens going in.

I'm really happy with them too and how the kitchen looks. I was worried they were going to be to dark but after seeing them we are glad we didn't go the lighter grey as I don't think the pattern would have stood out as much. Re: Forever home on 5 acres - PCI Booked 159Mar 09, 2016 11:11 pm Our inspection is booked for Friday. Looking forward to seeing it all now it's been cleaned. We are not really expecting any issues as from what we have seen so far. The few issues we raised have been fixed. Lots still to be done tho once we take possession. . It's going to be a slow process ? Re: Forever home on 5 acres - PCI Booked 160Mar 10, 2016 2:27 pm Awesome Mel! I know what you mean about lots to do once you get keys haha.
