You are right. Once I received my building license i'm good to go. All trades are all on stand-by. All deposit for material have been paid for. I even bought the Appliances (Ranghood, Cooktop, Oven & Dish washer) during the Delonghi Sales last saturday what a Bargain. I already bought the Vito Bertoni Taps which they having onsale right now also. You can tell that I'm running out of patient. Only the council helding me up. I don't know how much longer I have to wait Re: Our OB adventure has begun!!! 32Jun 16, 2009 12:32 pm Hooray!!!

LaFond-Lewis Re: Our OB adventure has begun!!! 37Aug 21, 2009 2:00 pm our kitchen is almost in!!!! the tiler is starting the wet areas today i hope it is not too long now of course, some problems had to happen along the way... the carpenters could not put in all the cabinets in as some of the pipes were in the draws all fixed now. now the benchtops have to go in as soon as possible so the tiler can finish the wet areas. i hope it all goes well, wish us luck!

LaFond-Lewis Re: Our OB adventure has begun!!! 38Aug 23, 2009 1:47 am Hi Nina, lovely pics - i'm fascinated by that ceiling detail in the kitchen & the wonderful ceiling decoration in the hall - all very attractive. u really have rattled along with this build - well done! we r neck & neck with u ATM, our kitchen is sitting in the lounge room ready for Tuesday having been held up by heater/stove installation, which we completed Thursday. U will finish ahead of us i think, cos i've got a heap of fiddly work to do now -ceiling in our storeroom at the end of the garage which i'm doing by myself & its slow, pantry to line & build in shelving again this will take me a couple of weeks. we have all the jarrah window sills made up, but have decided to varnish these b4 installing which is time consuming but lot easier on my old back & Knees....our tiling is finished. What r u going to put on the ur inside floor coverings & what floor for alfesco area? i've had enough of brick pavers with mice & ants tunneling, & trouble cleaning with my pressure cleaner - we r looking at coloured cement for verandahs this time....? again well done to u & DH, hope u r both getting a thrill out of all the hard work despite the difficult situations that happens in final fitouts - to me its the hardest part, particularly when u seem so close, but i know it will be another 3 months for us yet...! cheers Tony. Re: Our OB adventure has begun!!! 39Sep 24, 2009 2:53 pm hi Tony, sorry i never replied. we have been so busy with everything!!! my DH is overseas at the moment and it is hard to manage everything on my own (with a 3 year old ) our progress... the kitchen saga continues... i cannot wait to see when it is all done. our ceilings have been painted, all the carpentry finished, just tiled all the bathrooms. so now it is time for the electrician to come in and he decided to go on holidays for 3 weeks this is when we need everything finished urgently (we need to move in by a certain date) hopefully the plumber will come next week to do the final fit out. the grano workers coming in next week to do the garage and alfresco slab. to answer your question Tony - we are puting cream concrete in the alfresco. the main floor in the house will be tiled with 600x600 porcelain i am now thinking to tile the front portico floor (rather than wood or paving) we will see what the DH will say when he gets back i really hope it is not too long now "The fearless are merely fearless.
