Renovation- Week 18

Friday, 1 November 2013

On Monday I should have posted an update on week 18 of the renovation but I was still recovering from the disappointment of not moving in on the weekend.  That's right, we didn't quite make it.  The interior would have been fine.  We were happy to live without doors on the wardrobes, a few missing lights and a benchtop in the ensuite and outdoor kitchen/laundry.  Anything to just be home!  But on Friday the floor polishers decided that our bedroom floors really did need polishing so moving in at 7am on Saturday was no longer an option and I was left staring longingly through the french doors!

It was such a shame after everyone worked so hard all week to finish off the house.  The floors came up really well and I'm pleased with how the markings of the 'standard' grade blackbutt flooring match in with our old pine boards.


New blackbutt flooring in the study, kitchen, living, dining area.

Big progress was made on the ground floor with the wall sheeting and garage door going in plus our driveway. 


The electrician relocated our meter box and installed our outdoor lights also.  The verandah lights look gorgeous!

The front and back stairs were added and just need the balustrades.  At least waiting another week to move in will mean the exterior will be more complete.


So close now...

  2. Oh yes I know the frustration of being so close then being held up by floors. We were another two weeks with ours. You'll be in soon, hang in there, it is all looking gorgeous. Love your external lights too. mel x
