Jan and Feb

A few people have asked about the building inspector we used for the pre pour stage, so I have included his details below. He was great and hope to use him for our final stage as well.

Jason Illingworth Building Consultant Cert IV Building Construction Timber Pest & Termite Inspector Jims Building Inspections ( Bellarine ) Mobile - 0407499123


January our frame went up, which was super exciting as we did not get to see a display home of the house we are building. Was great to be able to see the space and compare what we imagined the house and space to be and what it actually is. The walk in linen cupboard is huge, we call it the office and the bathroom is smaller then we thought but will be fine. I think the house will work well :)

FEBRUARY

Just gets more and more exciting as well as a little bit frustrating as we just want to move in!!  I was so excited yesterday when I popped in and saw that our kitchen was in. I had been so worried about the colours but I think it looks great. The brick work is almost complete, just a few bricks to go up the top along the street side. Eth is secretly in love with the bricks, I think, as he keeps going on about how good they look! Painting is due to start next week which brings me to my one concern that I have. During the last inspection we pointed a small 'lump' in the plaster at the top of one of the walls in the theatre. After speaking with the SS he informed us that at pre paint this would be solved by putting in a 'float'. We don't feel great about this and are worried it's not really going to fix it. I have posted pics below along with the others. Let me know what you think!
