Houseblogging: 7 working days to go

With 7 working days left until handover day (Monday is a public holiday) the house is looking more finished although there is till heaps more to do. Today was a few beers on the veranda with the workers to celebrate progress and look to the final push.

The devil is of course in the detail but I am sure that the fine tuning will be completed in the end. The delays on the kitchen mean that we'll not get the complete installation done before handover (tiling and the extractor unit are dependent on the granite worktop being in place) but we'll have running water to be able to function OK.

The key thing is to get some good weather for a few days so that the landscapers can get on site so the filter field for the sewage system can be done. A essential if we don't want an unfortunate mishap!
Entrance hall, complete with light fitting but still no door handle!
Work in progress to hang the living room and dining room lights.

Smallest room's basin - tiling to be completed yet!

Hmm, rainshower... an incentive to get the sewage sorted!

Work in progress for the main bathroom - need to remedy tiling before bath can be fitted.
