Kitchen & Lockup Update (MAJOR)

Lockup achieved 1st Feb 2013, after a false start the day before.

Lots of progress. Kitchen fitted. All doors fitted. Most architraves and skirting fitted. Upstairs verandah sliding doors re-fitted after waterproofing.

Some issues with the kitchen, but all-in-all happy with progress. No show-stoppers.

Sorry about the poor photos - it was raining down like crazy outside. In fact, a sizey tree branch fell on my car bonnet today and make a large dent I'm going to have to have panel-beaten and re-sprayed.

First up, it seems some more brick-work is necessary. The overhead beam in the garage had this note on the inner side.



Skirting is done in the garage, and the internal access sold-core door is fitted. (note the incorrect sizing on the door frames - this was the cause of one weeks delay last week due to incorrect draft-plan vs what's in contract) -



 Here's the powder room, with vanity and door in place, ready for tiling -


Hallway to Great Room / kitchen, with doors fitted to understairs, pantry and laundry, ready for tiling -


Panoramic of the kitchen -


Kitchen shots -


Inside the under-sink unit, keen to keep that shelf - we'll see!


More kitchen, including a severely damaged drawer fascia in the kitchen island bench -


Kitchen from corner of Great Room, and the main bathroom vanity unit -


Bedroom 2 complete - they all look the same -


Main Bedroom and ensuite vanity, ready for tiling -


 A downstairs window was open - naughty naughty!

4/2/13 EDIT: the coming week should see a plethora of tilers onsite. Skirting upstairs around windows, and architraves in media room remain, otherwise painting can commence also.
