Exterior render and internal fitout

The exterior of the house is almost finished, with the render going on this week and the downpipes and guttering being completed.  The builders have also scraped the front yard for the driveway to be laid, along with the stairs to the front door.  




All of the interior doors have been installed and painted. The air-conditioning units have been installed along with the vacumaid (which I cannot wait to use!) and security system. 

The work in the laundry, bathrooms and kitchen included the laundry tub, taps, shower heads and screens, the toilets and mirrors. Amazing how much difference these little things make to the house.

The bedrooms were all fitted out with their wardrobes (except the master dressing room, which is an fit out with Ikea we will be doing after handover)


The formal lounge room at the front of the house


The stair case - still to be carpeted


The laundry - the tub is finally installed.


The downstairs bathroom


The study downstairs - looking forward to working from home a few days a week once this is all done


The kitchen - still has an oven and rangehood to go in.  There will be shelves installed after hand over where overhead cabinetry would ordinarily be placed. I did not want too many cupboards in the kitchen, which I know sounds strange. But I am so glad we did not get overhead cupboards, We have saved a lot of money on cupboards we wouldn't have used (we have a whole butler's pantry to fill) and  I think too many cupboards overwhelm a kitchen. 



The butler's pantry.  This is all we had installed by Metricon in the butler's pantry, the fit-out will be done by Ikea after handover.  I am glad that we waited before fitting out this area as I have spent a lot of time researching how I think the space will be best utilised and had I made decisions about it a year ago, I would have made some expensive mistakes. 


The upstairs main bathroom - shower screen not installed, not sure why...



Bedrooms



The upstairs leisure room



The master bedroom ensuite - double basin with a bath tub


The master bedroom ensuite shower and toilet


The master bedroom looking into the ensuite



The master bedroom windows



From what I can tell, the interior still has things to go like towel racks and toilet roll holders, the carpet, door knobs, and all the lights, power and TV sockets.  The oven and rangehood are also still to be installed.
