Weeks 15 & 16...

Its full steam ahead now and we've finally got to a point where rain is not nearly as much of an issue as previously. It can rain all day long and stuff still happens :)

Today we have a plumber, an electrician and his dodgy apprentice (my husband), the glaziers and two builders all on site together. Yesterday we had a visit from the project manager to make sure everything was on track and to get us to make some concrete decisions regarding cabinetry, flooring etc.

Tradies everywhere!
We have now also ordered all the plumbing fittings and my job today is to order the pendant lights and cabinetry hardware. Its been an expensive few days but it feels so good to be ordering what feels like the icing on the cake.

From the outside its hard to see all the progress but I assure you its been all happening on the inside.


The plumber and electrician have nearly finished their rough ins so there are wires and pipes everywhere. The bath is in and the bulk heads for the cabinetry have been started. Today the blue board is going up on the front of the carport and porch ready to be rendered later. The glazier is putting in our custom made 4-panel multi-direction-opening stacker door just in time for the brickies to start tomorrow. Roofing guard rails should also come down today which will make it look a bit nicer. The electrician is running the TV, Foxtel and DVD wires through the wall cavities so we can mount flat screens on the walls in the pool room, lounge and master without seeing the ugly cords. All the little things that will make the finished product seamless. 

Another trip out of town for us next week to order our freestanding oven, range hood and fridge. Once again an expensive excursion but oh so worth it to be able to pick exactly what we want.

The nursery planning/purchasing is coming along too as well as the baby to go in it.

Halfway cooked - 20 week scan

I finally found a nursing chair (although this picture makes it look a lot more fawn and cream in real life it is more grey) for the babies room while we were out of town for the scan. So now I just have to find an ottoman to go with it.

The choices are endless but I'm thinking something along these lines.


Or maybe I could make my own...
