25. We Are Getting Close Now

Well the new house has been a hive of activity this week as the completion date gets closer.  

Everyday there is progress.

 We are now under a bit of pressure as the owners of our rental need to move back into their home.  Although we don't have a firm date, handover is looking at being around the end of this month. 

We are busy scheduling in the flooring, window treatments, retic and driveway so that we can move as soon and as smoothly as possible.

Ok, so what is new this week?

The external render has all been finished and the inside has had a coat of paint.

The friezework has also been added. 

We are loving the archway and think the change in dimensions was a good call. 
What do you think?

The frieze continues inside to the lounge area as well.

Ok, enough with the frieze...onto the kitchen..yay!

We have a benchtop at last (Cracked pepper...which is a grey, white, black and taupe mix)

The overhead cupboards and rangehood going in.

The bookshelves that sit either side of the kitchen, next to laundry and pantry doors.

Ta dah!   Although there is a cover on the bench, the splashback is yet to be tiled, no electricals or tapware..you get the picture!

I can't wait to fill up those cupboards.

Ok, enough of the kitchen obsession...the kids now have doors on their wardrobes. 

Poor things have had small cupboards for so long, especially JR so they will love the space.

Our light fittings are almost all done and Sam started painting the woodwork today.

Looking forward to the tiling being finished next week...we are on the home stretch now!
