Painting In Progress

We've been locked out again for the past few days. We can't even peep what's going on inside because the painter has locked, covered and sealed every door and window. This might go on for the whole of this week.

Looking at the construction progress provided by PD, we're not far from completion. :)

Weeks 19 to 20

The time to complete ceramic tiling depends entirely on the amount of tiling to be done throughout the house.


Weeks 20 to 22

Final fit offs will occur which involves completing the electrical, plumbing, alarm, vacuum and heating systems. All door furniture, doorstops etc, mirrors, shower screens and floor coverings will be installed where applicable.


Weeks 22 to 24

Preparing for completion. This involves paint touch ups, cleaning, corking of wet areas and articulation joints, and site cleaning. Final inspections for the certificate of occupancy and compliance will be completed.



Of coz we don't expect to have a perfect house by then. There are still fixes need to be done such as...

[2nd layer of decking for balcony/portico had been completed, but again workmanship...]


[the timber cracked where the nails went in...]



One of the things we want it to be looked at is the metal plate thingy on top of the garage roof, where the downpipe come down to. Shouldn't it be at least the same colour as the downpipe or roof or brick? Should have this downpipe thingy position at the back of the garage roof. Anyway... will take note if we ever build again... :P

I stumbled across your blog while looking for pics of the Brown Terrain bricks. We're building the Regent 23 from Porter Davis and think we'll go with the BT brick. We did find some image on the Boral site and mocked up the facade of our house. You can see it on our blog at www.projectregent.com

cheers
Michael.
