The panels for solar electricity were installed on Friday (14/06/2013). It’s a good thing we were onsite as the contractor had no idea where his colleague put the wiring (which was installed during the frame stage)!
After netball on Saturday (15/06/2013), we noticed that our electricity was connected. The builder used power from our neighbour to get to this point in the build. Thanks Allan!
In the past week, the tiles were laid, scaffolding was removed, the painter polly filled the internal walls, trim and shelves. A plaster tradie was also around to fix the cornices in the media room and around the staircase. It is rather funny how the tradies all have their radios on at the same time – and all tuned to different stations. :)
Cool lazers being used, rather difficult to get the lines wrong, or not?
The kitchen guy was there on Saturday to correct the kickboards and ‘fix’ the pantry shelving. We are not very happy with the standard of the pantry, it’s basically just a bunch of free standing shelves – not exactly what one would expect in a butlers pantry. We will talk to the builder about this but we’ll probably have to add it to the rather long list of things that we’ll need to resolve afterwards.
We think our white cabinets looked a bit average without the brushed aluminium kickboards.
Render was also applied to the garage and feature window on the facade.
We’re considering the ‘CHERT’ carpet from Carpet Call.
