Nearly but not done...

April 2nd..


April sees the house nearly at completion. We had a slight issue with the theater wall where they were going to 'float' the wall due to a lump. We emailed and expressed our concerns regarding this and it was very quickly pulled down and fixed.

The painting went well and only a few things need to touched up. We love the colours we went with and are super happy with how well everything matches. 


The kitchen went in next with tiles starting not long after. The kitchen is great and I am happy with the space in the kitchen. The only thing I would change having now seen it is the depth of the shelves in the pantry. They are only 30 cm deep and I would have preferred a bit more. Maybe adding another pot drawer would have been good.

The tiles at this point are still not complete, grouting and some tiles in laundry still need to be completed. This has taken a ridiculous amount of time for something relatively simple.

The flooring in the rest of the house looks great and I love the floor boards and carpet, I was a little worried the carpet would be too dark but it looks fab.
Does not show true colour

Good floor polishers

           The render was coloured next and tap and shower fitting were completed along with toilets and bath. And now we wait......and wait....... The house has basically had nothing done for two weeks. So frustrating, especially as the people next door are about to move in. We have both been building with Homebuyers and had the same SS and we started two weeks before them.... They have just seemed to prioritised them over us. Anyway rant over and email has been sent so will keep you updated ;)    
Cant wait to add light fittings
