In just before Christmas

Well we have our new home inspection on Tuesday, to point out all the faults and then Carlsile homes have 1 to 2 weeks to fix, then final inspection and then we get the keys a few days after that. All over and done with in 5 months. It has gone way too fast for us.

We had someone come in a try to steal our sink last week and also had some neighbour house vandalised all the windows were smashed and wholes were put in all their walls. Finger crossed nothing like that happens to ours.

Still not happy with the brick colour we choose so later down the track we want to render the front of the house.

More progress and nearly at the end of the road.

This week all the down lights, garage door,tiles are all finished have been put in it looks excellent. Know we have to organize quotes for the driveway and blinds hopefully we can get it all done by Christmas finger crossed.

Home stretch already.

Wow how time flys, bricks are finished, first coat of render is done, 3 coates of paint done,architraves, basins,caearstone bench tops are finished, stairs are in and they just started the tiling should be finished on wednesday. Only floor boards, carpet and downlights left to do. Final inspection around about the 18th November and they keys 2 weeks after that, so we should be in by the 1st week of December, they are unbeliveably fast, they don't muck around. Not 100% happy about the brick colour we choose but not its not too bad, still wished we choose Nougat but didn't want the stress that came with it.

bricks go up

Brick layers have started, not to sure if I like the colour though we will have to see when the render is finished to see if it all matches. Plastering has started inside today so we will be at lock up stage soon.

We have a roof!

All the roof tiles have put up now, bricks have been delivered so on to the next stage. hopefully we have chosen the right colour brick, fingers crossed we will hopeful see soon.

Frame finished. Next..

Frames all finished. Had a frame inspection yesterday with the SS and is all good. Next week we should be starting with the guttering and roof tiles will go up.

2nd floor frame is up.

Can't believe they have done some work this week as the weather has been really bad. But they have managed to put in all the windows on the bottom floor. They have also put down the floor for the second storey and are half way finishing with second floor framing so soon they should be starting on the roof.
