We still need to get the downstairs floorboards polished, and there is a lot of painting that isn't finished yet. But hopefully by the end of next week we can start moving some of our stuff upstairs!

My build - viewforum.php?f=53 Re: Second Story Addition Sydney 70Feb 09, 2016 7:41 pm Great. We are back in council with our plans, just waiting. Builder will be ready to start in April. I'm hoping council will have it approved by then. It feels like it has been a very long process for us, but worth it, I think to get a house that better suits our block etc in the end. I didn't think about floors and painting etc. There are so many little things that need to be done at the end aren't there? I'm trying to figure out when I would like to take leave from work to get things organised - I'm thinking definitely that couple of weeks after "completion" will be the best idea. Re: Second Story Addition Sydney 71Feb 09, 2016 7:51 pm Yes, it's all the little things at the end that makes it feel so close yet so far! But we are on the home stretch and our builders have been fantastic every step of the way so it's exciting to be getting to the stage where we can start to enjoy it!
