The business end

Haven't posted for a while, as I didn't feel like there was much happening. However looking at where we are today we really are getting to the pointy end of the project and the following are all finished:

*All gyprock walls have been completed including dividing wall up the staircase and fireplace with shelving surrounds;
*the bathrooms have been waterproofed ready for tiling.
*Bathroom furniture has been delivered;
*Internal painting has started;
*external painting of side wall and back beams complete (although we are not happy with the colour at the back - it's decidedly different to what we expected);
*bubble-gum to all joints and gaps around windows etc has been completed (although they forgot to do one place along the roof beam and we got water in the bedroom last weekend after heavy rain).
*Roof capping finished (although roofer needs to return and replace 2 missing tiles);
*garage concrete slab has been laid but the dimensions are larger than planned so the roller shutter garage door has to be refabricated to fit;
*front garden flattened ready for landscaping

Today the electricians were back to finish all internal wiring. The new powerpole in the garden is all wired up and a new electrical panel installed on the opposite side of the house.

The rain last weekend has filled the pool and waterlogged the garden area, underneath the house and the side courtyard. So tomorrow we have hired a pump to clean up.
