A beautiful sunny day in Melbourne, Spring has finally sprung, another trip to the house

to see what progress has been made since last week..

The ground is nice and dry, we will need to think what driveway we want/need to install.

Every time we arrive more 'crap' is added to the ground to allow the trucks/vans onto the site

for deliveries and work men.

Most of the ground floor is now tiled, they have left, the study, downstairs toilet and near

the staircase still need to be done. This (we guess) will be done when the staircase is replaced.

The grout that has been chosen by the tilers looks fine. Its hard to see on this photo but the electrical work is now complete, lights, sockets and air conditioning vents (alongside TV, Internet & Phone points).

Here is the kitchen with the splash-back in-place, still waiting for the oven, extractor hood & hob still missing. You can see on the right of the picture where the tiles are missing.

The beautiful tap we have on the island bench, with the under-mounted double sink.

The pantry, just off the kitchen, the shelves have now been put in. Just waiting for the hob and range hood to be installed (they still need to cut a hole in the wall, for the hood to vent into the garage). Will send another e-mail to the people from Porter Davis and ask when they will do this, they have been promising to do this for a couple of months now.

One of the walk in robes in the master bedroom (there are two in the master, his and hers).

plenty of space for all my clothes (in fact I'll need to buy a whole heap more if I am to try and fill it.

The shower in one of the en-suits tiling complete, just awaiting the shower screens.

But after that whats left to do ?

Toilet installed, just the bidet and the bathrooms done.

And finally a view from the top of the stairs

All the lights appear to be working, we tried to switch them all on and off.

We need confirmation as to the completion date:

One thing we find strange, is the painting was done before a lot of the 'dirty' work

was undertaken.

The walls now have a lot of marks on them, something else to chase them up about.
