External Painting - First Coat Done

The first coat of painting has been done on the outside of the house. Will be finished off on Monday and then the plasterers will start the inside. All the electrical cabling, plumbing and gas pipes are also finished.

The external front door and a few internal doors are on.

I think this will be finished by March...not June

Front Rendering Done

Cement rendering has been done on the front of the house. Is still drying in the photos so you can see a slight pattern of the bricks where the lines between the bricks are darker...the top section was done the day before so it has all dried the one colour. Next I think they will do the moroka/bagging for the other 3 sides then painting.

We have been for our meeting with the electrician on site and organised where all the lights, switches, power points, as well as the tv, phone and foxtel points will be. most of it is standard priced with the build with extra things like our stair and down lights + extra points being extra and paid to the electrician.

Roof finished

The roof is now finished and it finally looks like a house. Builders have also washed/cleaned down the bricks at the front ready for rendering so that looks good also. We have a meeting on site on Monday with the electrician to tell him where we want all the lights/power points etc. Have to ask him how much extra he is going to charge to get in all the down lights, stair wall lights and extra things we want to do on top of the standard allowances.

Gutters, Fascia, Sarking and Roof Tiles

Went to house today and took some more photos. The guttering and fascia + sarking are all done and the roof tiles are half finished. Site superviser said the rest of the roof will be finished tomorrow. The rendering will be done next week and the external painting over the render will be done after about 4 days of drying.

One of the photos below is inside the garage where it looks like they have hosed off or cleaned the bricks.

Have got the samples of all the bathroom and laundry, and living area floor tiles etc. Will take some pics of them and put them on here later.
