Rendering a home... a MUST!

The render looks fantastic!!
Although it hasn't been painted it still has improved the aesthetics of the home ten fold!
I called my builder as i thought that the renderers had done a slack job to the alfresco area. Turns out it was just drying, the following day it looked great! Shouldn't panic so much..

Cabinet Maker and Tiles!

The interior of the house has just started taking shape with the Kitchen and Bathroom cabinets going in.


The bathroom cabinets look a bit plain on their own


The linen closets, robes and walk in robes are put in. Very simple design but it is all i can afford for now.



The tiles ended up looking better than i thought they would! Especially for the standard range tiles with Hotondo. (The image doesn't do them justice)


Glad I put the outside tiles in instead of the concrete, it looks 20x better! This was an after thought in which Hotondo were very accommodating at a very reasonable price. They have the non slip finish in case they get wet.


I love my selected feature strip in the shower! I can't wait to see if it will go with the selected stone bench tops in the bathroom. Unfortunately I didn't put one above the basins (i thought i did.. too many things to think about!!) which might have added to the color scheme of the bathroom.

Brickwork/Gyprock/Electrical/Aircon

Since my last post i have caught up with the electrician to help me place the down light/PowerPoint/switch locations. He was very helpful. Boy it is easy going over your allocated allowance!!


The electrician didn't mind me putting in my own data cable. I notice he added a few more clips on the cables and neatened it up once we had finished as well which was kind of him!



The following day the aircon guy went through the house showing me the best place for all the vents. As long as there was one in each room i was happy!



The brick went up in a couple of days! The boys must have been sipping on red bull the whole day!
