Dodging lockup

Today was meant to be our official lockup day.

That didn't happen... Is it wrong to be happy about that? 

After they lock our place up we won't be able to get in, won't be able to notice the attention to detail on the fittings etc or be able to feel the space and generate ideas of what we want to do with each area.

No more unwinding with a beer sitting on camping chairs in the lounge room (noooooo!). No more sitting on the lounge room floor, surrounded by magazines while working out landscaping plans (nooooo!!!). No more "rivercam" building inspector checking everything out (nooooo!!!!!!!!). Lucky we have enough windows... but will they be enough!?

Look how far we've come...

The white plaster has been started (1 of the spare rooms was done yesterday) and the plasterer was back at the crack of dawn this morning to work through some more.

Here's the front  of the house, mostly done. Oh how I love this space, its like my own wonderful light box.

The hallway from the garage looking to the front. To the far left is the laundry, the other room is a spare bedroom.

Our ensuite has had some lines marked out...  not sure why the ones are there on the left, the tiles go right up to the ceiling. But in saying that the bench is double the depth he's drawn out too...

Our shining white toilet... behold!!!

Our bright and beautiful laundry 

 

And that's about it.... no more has been done to the external render yet - I wish they'd hurry as the sand is blocking the entire laneway which is bound to be a right pain in the *** for everyone that uses it. It's bad enough for us, and its our building site!

Hopefully I'll be able to post more plastering photos soon, I love the bright white airiness of it now - looking forward to seeing our bedroom, the bathrooms and of course the entertainment precinct (are we still calling it the cinema!?)

Watch this space, more to follow soon x
