What a Week!

A lot has happened this week. Most days the workers haven't left until after dark which has meant checking the house out after dark. Here is a quick recall of what happened this week:
1/ Plastering finished
2/ Skirting and cornicing was done --> There is no skirting on the floors where the timber floors are being laid yet - we paid extra to not have the beading laid and rather have the skirting boards put on after the floor was laid. I think this is a cost worth having - I hate the beading on timber floors!
3/ Doors were put on
4/ Shelves in Walk in Robes were put in.
5/ Cabinetry in Kitchen, Butler's Pantry, Bathroom, Ensuite, Powder Room, Laundry and Walk in Linen Cupboard was installed.
6/ Door to the Powder Room was re-installed as it was hung the right way according to the plans but to both Donna & I as well as our Site Supervisor, it made sense the other way.
7/ Scaffolding was taken down which allows us to see how big the area is and also allows us to get some more deck quotes going.
8/ The front verandah was put up - it is attached to the frame and is then bricked over. Apparently this is the only state where this happens - all other states attach to the bricks, however due to cyclones Qld is different! Doesn't worry me, it's just more work for the brickies - maybe that is another reason why the Colonial Façade is soooo much expensive to build!
