Electrical fit off has started

Friday saw our painters back to apply the final coat of paint. It looks really good too. Our SS showed me through and said that once the tiles go down, the paint will look a little darker, that due to the blandness of the concrete and the whiteness of the kitchen it looks lighter than it will once complete.  The painters have done a great job and I am really happy with the final result.

 

Today our electrical fit off commenced and to our surprise (and our SS's) the plumbing fit off got started too. They weren't scheduled to start until tomorrow.

 

I managed to sneak in this afternoon and take a few photos. They are not the best quality and I will post some better ones if I get the opportunity to go back in and take some more.

 

Work is scheduled to continue tomorrow.

 

According to our SS, main floor tiling should start early next week.  We are getting close!

The tiling is complete

Our tiler came back today and finished off the bathroom and ensuite. He has now laid the feature tile, the tiling around the bath and completed the grouting. I must say, it looks pretty good if I do say so myself. I am very impressed by the feature tile. I was concerned that it wouldn't look any good but now that it has been laid, I am extremely happy with our choice.

 

I am really pleased with how the tiler also laid the white tile all the way around the vanity instead of leaving a gap as was intended.  He had done an amazing job.

 

Grouting

The tiler started grouting the floor tiles today. They look awesome. I really can't wait to see the entire house finished now. 

An update on the tiling

The tiler came back today to continue with the tiles in the wet areas.  He has done a great job so far, has been very co-operative and has even asked us how we want things to be done. He says he would rather us be happy with the finished job.  

The floor tiles look amazing so far and will be even better once grouted. The feature tile has not been done yet. He says he will be back next week to lay them and finish off.

Here is a few pics of the job to date.

Photos as promised

Here are some photos of our stone bench tops as promised. The lighting was not the best as it has been overcast and raining for a week.

An update on the tiling

J & I dropped in at the house this afternoon to check on the progress of the tiling, and to our surprise, our tiler had actually done most of the floors in both bathrooms.  It is looking pretty awesome too, if I may say so myself.

Stone benchtops

I was extremely surprised and excited to see (via the internal camera) that our kitchen, laundry, ensuite and bathroom stone bench tops have been installed.

I can't wait to go past and have a look this afternoon.

I will post some photos once I can get inside and take some.

Wet area tiling has commenced

The tiling to our wet areas commenced today. However, in one full day, all he managed to do was the screeding to our ensuite floor. This is a little disappointing considering he was meant to start last Thursday.

We have one guy doing the job so at this rate, it's going to take some time :(

Our kitchen, vanities and laundry cabinets are in....

This has got to be the most exciting day so far. Our kitchen is to be installed today. It has rained all night and is still raining today, but thankfully the rain doesn't delay internal installations!

The Fab Kitchens truck turned up at around 8:00am this morning and by 2:30pm the kitchen, two bathroom vanities and the laundry cabinetry was completed and the fitters had packed up and left.

I did notice though that they forgot to install the overhead cabinets in the laundry so J has put in a call to our SS who is going to sort it out.

That's our range hood in the box...to be installed soon.

Waterproofing

The water proofer was at our house at 6:45am to continue with the water proofing that he started yesterday afternoon.  Within two hours, the job was complete.  

Here are some pics of his handiwork.
