Week 40 - Countdown is on - 3 weeks to go

It's really getting down to the wire now! Every day is is slowly starting to feel like the small jobs are being ticked off the list. This week the splashback tile was installed and grouted, air-conditioning vents were installed and built-in wardrobes were fitted out with shelves & drawers,

Outside the front fence was finished, but we are still waiting on the big sliding car gate. This is specially made so it's coming from another contractor to match the rest of the fence. The major carpentry work this week was on the backs steps, which are all but finished.

There was a tiny bit of progress on the pool - with the mosaic tiles installed to highlight the edge of each step. The pool is now ready to be rendered. Above the pool however is another story - the pergola is up, and is just waiting on the decorative concrete columns to finish it off.

The hot water system is in - so we could take a nice hot shower (if only Origin could get organised and get our gas meter installed). The rest of the driveway was poured and stamped, and so now the only concreting left is the small bridge piece over the front gutter. We made our driveway wider, so this had to be extended.
