Its all happening so fast now. We have cabinets, benchtops, sinks & a bathtub, doors, exterior paintwork has been done and the tiling has been started. This is all since Thursday. Unfortunately I couldn't get any photos of the bathrooms because the tilers butt crack was in the way. The kitchen cabinets. No overhead cabinets at this stage, I'll have to add them in down the track. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The newly painted guttering. I'm still not 100% about the blue, I wanted something more like colourbond Blue Ridge, a kind of bluey-grey. I think its a bit strong but I might just need to get used to it. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Some ******* brickwork in the garage. I don't have any complaints about the external brickwork, it looks like they just saved all the "bad" bricks and faced them inside the garage. The SS told me not to worry about it, so naturally I am. However it is a single run of bricks and the other side of this wall is fine so I guess they were just put in with cracks on one side. If they were cracking after they had been put up then the other side should be cracking too right? Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ In other news, we have picked some interior paint colours. We'll be doing all the painting ourselves. I have convinced myself its going to be a super fun job and am happy to live in denial for now. The blue is going to be the feature wall in the main bedroom. The dark grey is for the home theatre. The pale grey is for the doors & frames, and the white colour is for whenever we run out of enthusiasm and just want to finish the job.

But i love your build and the colour scheme ..... you must be excited... its not too long now Thanks tinfish, its actually quite re-assuring to hear that its normal, and not just us! I was more worried about the cracks than anything because they seem localised to that one area. I was reading in someone elses thread that they complained about chips and cracks in their bricks and their SS told them that don't pay for the brickies to check every brick before they put them up!!! I couldn't believe that, all this money we're paying and its still not enough for the brickies to do a decent job?? Grrr....
