20. Lock Up!

This week we reached "lock up" which is an exciting milestone..but also means that we can't just
"pop in" whenever we feel like it!


The front doors were fitted on Moday but unfortunately it was dark when I tried to take a picture so it is a bit blurry.

The following photos are from the last week.


The front doors, stacked ready to go on.


The plastering has all been finished now..they did a lovely job too!


Everything is looking so much lighter now with the white walls.


The family room.


Although this photo was taken about a week ago, things have already changed in the kitchen.
The cornices around the bulkead have been done and everything looks neater.
Today we delivered the bathroom sinks, rangehood, butlers sink etc to the cabinet maker, 
(the ovens and cooktop should arrive soon).
He has already made the carcasses for ensuite, bathroom and laundry cupboards do things are progressing quickly. 
Next week the plumber will install the baths etc!

The end is in sight!
