Settling in quite nicely.

It has been just over a month since hand over and we have been living here for about 3 weeks (not sure of the exact first sleep). The house is now liveable and we really don't have that much more to do inside except for some art for the walls. On the weekend our wonderful Bro-in-law came up to tile our alfresco and wow what a job. So now we can sit out on the alfresco and enjoy out little piece of paradise. The driveway has been down now for 2.5 weeks just waiting for the concreter to covercrete it, but due to crap weather he keeps on pushing the date back, which is having a knock-on affect on landscaping.

Enjoy the pics.

Great Tiler! This is the magical moment our Tiler laid two tiles at once in perfect placement. Not often you see that happen.

Concentrate now boys

Not sure what is happening here

Is that a yoga pose?

Job well done

Timber Flooring (part 2)

Timber flooring was completed today. It looks really good. The quad board (scotia, mouse board) has been fitted and it really makes the flooring look super. We spent the afternoon trying to get all the dust off the floor and plumbed the dishwasher. No leaks so far. Just need to get the cooker back in place without scratching the floor. You can now see how nice the stools look (good buy Margie) along with the book ends for the shelf on top of the fridge. We have placed a couple of statues in the niche, we never intended to place all 3 there, but we kinda like it. Now we just need to get all the rest of our crap over there.
Book ends above the fridge. Cooking books go here.

Final floor. Looks great. Very happy.

Living Room. We have still to tile the Alfresco. Free room board and beer for the Broski (you know who you are).

Kitchen Stools. Bit 70's with a modern look. I love them.
