This week saw the installation of the remaining windows and more chamferboards to the exterior of the house. We're still eagerly awaiting the delivery and installation of the front doors. I can't wait to see the house after its facelift!

As I mentioned in our
week 3 and
week 4 updates, we have been unsure about the western wall of the deck. Originally we planned to have a full-height wall and were uncertain how to finish the internal side. We have now decided to lower the wall to allow a small splashback above the outdoor kitchen/laundry bench. We can add shutters or a blind if necessary.

I must admit that I'm getting a little overwhelmed with all of the decision making at the moment! I thought we had specified heaps of items but there are still so many little details to consider and I don't want to get them wrong. I really appreciate your feedback and suggestions.
OMG! What amazing progress!! So much gets done when we get to see it in these chunks. It's looking good. You must be so excited. I like the decision to lower the wall, it's more authentic "deck like".
ReplyDeleteI know! I am so impressed with the pace at which the builder is working. On Monday I gave the builder my paint selections and I arrived on Tuesday to see the painters working already! Thanks for your reassurance about the deck.
ReplyDeleteWow, fantastic progress this week, glad you lowered the wall- the outlook is so green and lovely it would be a shame to miss the view and the winter sun. In summer if it is too hot, the blind will work well. As I have already moaned about on my blog, the decisions have just become overwhelming here on the tail stretch for us. I think we are nearly done though, just one sink to order now. mel x
