Building Update - More Pics

Our Kitchen

The base cabinets colour is Loft Oak. The overhead cabinet colour is Frosty White










On the left of the photo is the tower which will hold the oven and microwave above it. The benchtop next to the tower will be the gas cooktop. Under the cooktop you can see two of the five pot drawers



The Kitchen Sink
The gap in the cabinetry is the provision for the dishwasher.










The Island Bench with the raised servery














The Laundry
Cabinet cabinet colour is Corsico. On the right of the photo is the broom cupboard and next to that is the benchtop with the flushline trough and under underbench cupboards.













The Ensuite



The Bathroom












The shelves and drawers for the robes. The two taller ones are for the walk in robe in the Master Bedroom and the three smaller ones are for Bedrooms 2 to 4.











The timber louvres have been added to the facade. They are between each of the brick piers on the verandah.

House update

The plasterers have been working on the house since the weekend. They have been plastering the joins in the plasterboard and all of the cornices have been attached. Plastering should be completed by middle of next week although the public holiday on Monday may change that date. The kitchen cabinetry should be starting to be installed by Friday week

Exterior colours of the house










The bricks are Boral Kurrajong with natural mortar. The roof tiles are Boral Gun Metal Grey. The guttering is Woodland Grey. The windows are black.








Here is a close up of the bricks. I really love the range of colours which the bricks can provide and whilst they have a brown base there is red combined with the magnesium flecks through them. I also like the texturing on the brick which provides a different look.











This is a side on view of the entry and verandah to the house


















Here is a closer look at the entry and verandah which is slightly off centre from the end of the court which will provide a degree of privacy. A the top of the pic you may notice a gap which will be filled with timber gabling.

House is at lockup and plaster has started

It has been a month since the last update so I thought I would update progress and also have added more pics of how the house is looking. We have reached the lockup stage of the house and the brickie has laid the final bricks today. The plasterboard has been delivered and hung. Apparently the plasterer will be there for the next couple of weeks.
