Hi Ryan,
I've been wondering how things were moving along for you - you've been very quiet recently.

The tiles look great, you've got to be pleased with them! It's all looking really lovely.

Hehehe. Yeah, report writing time mate. Havent really been able to get to the block before dark these last few weeks. We are pretty stoked with the tiles and paint. They show up really dark in the photos.

Cheers,

Ryan

It is all looking great Ryan, and I too was hoping all was ok since your thread had been quiet. Say no more I can understand the busy weeks you have had with report writing.

You must be so pleased with how it is all coming together

i love your shower Ryan, a different colour tile for each wall, what a perfect idea!! love it~!

Gday Guys,

It has been really good to read everyone's blog and know that there are a heap of us getting close to moving in.

Went to the block today and noticed that the painterhad done most of the outside, so he should be finished very soon. The sparkies had come through and (finally) cut the holes ready for the electrical fit off. All going well, we should have most of the fit-offs finished by this Friday.

On a separate note, gf and I are meeting the blinds person on site tomorrow, so I will be able to get some more pics for you all then. All tiles have been finished and grouted and (I reckon) look quite nice.

Cheers,

Ryan

Tiles are looking great Ryan and good to hear the painter is making progress too.

Do you have a date for PCI and handover yet?

Nah not as yet mate. The SS is really straying from committment on these two aspects of the build. While I can understand it, it would be REALLY REALLY REALLY nice to know when we should be planning for.

Looking great Ryan Oliver not too long to go now

Kenshi123 · Jun 10, 2009 7:31 pm

Plugs plugs, switches and plugs!!! Electrical fit offs happened today and should be finished tomorrow!
The plumber has finished off too! Awesome! Carpet is due to go in early next week and we 'should' be having our pre-handover inspection by the end of next week!!! WOO HOO!!! ALMOST THERE!!!

I got so excited over the dimmer switch and powerpoints!!

Oh! And I christened the toilet. Yes! Crazy I know, but I just had to! (Hope you are not reading this while you eat dinner....)

Great pics Ryan. You must be so excited about being so close to the end. Our build has always been a couple of weeks behind you so to think you are almost in means we are not far away too

Had to laugh about the toilet. Not eating so lucky for you. (Did you do as my DH would do and take the paper!!)

All looking really great

wakeboardandy · Jun 10, 2009 7:45 pm

looks great.... I got excited over the dimmer switch also..

when you say you christened the toilet, you didn't mean "dropping the kids off at the pool did you?"

Michelle · Jun 10, 2009 8:00 pm

All looking really nice bet you can’t wait to get in there!

Kenshi123 · Jun 10, 2009 8:02 pm

Hahaha WBA. Didn't drop the kids at the pool, but definitely made a splash.
GF thought I was crazy. I think it is a celebration!

Tillie · Jun 10, 2009 8:05 pm

Great pictures

Thanks heaps Michelle! And thanks for all the advice on the render colours! That seems so long ago now! I will post a picture when the render is done.

Cheers!

Looking good and definitely not too long to go now. I can't wait to get to this stage as our house seems to be dragging, just waiting for painters now...
