WEEKLY FIX PAGES

interiors.................

and the build continues. Pat's team are almost finished with the interior and will soon be moving outside to finish bits and pieces. there's still atleast 6-8 weeks work but the house is really starting to take character.
above is the kitchen. the cabinetry is spotted gum and the benchtop camphor laurel. in the above pic the benchtop is raw (freshly cut) and the sealer will be applied this week which will really bring out the colour and grain.

the main bathroom is really starting to take form. the shutters will provide ventilation allowing breezes to circulate throughout the house. the bathroom tiles are fedora walnut and have really come up nice (i just had to marry someone with expensive tastes).
we hired a landscaper for a few hours to assist with the stone pavers from the front stairs to the carport. they are huge sandstone blocks that required a bobcat to move (too heavy even for two). I rolled up my sleeves and was helping the dude position the blocks but almost lost my foot at one stage when I slipped in the mud and saw one of the sandstone blocks (on its side) teeter towards me. I managed to get out of the way just in the nick of time.
the painter should be in this week to finish the inside and then the plumber and electrician will move in to do their stuff.... things are changing constantly.
