First Turf Laid

Now it feels like we are getting somewhere. Picked a variety of buffalo turf called Sapphire. You can read more about it here http://www.sapphireturf.com.au/

Landscaping Underway

It's been a while since my last posting but there has been plenty happening in the background which is the main reason for the lack of posts. I've been pulling 12 hour days and trying to keep up with the tradies...now I'm worn out...lol.

Still not getting any closer to getting a driveway due to many reasons but mainly the weather which has thrown the concreting into chaos.

As you can see I bit the bullet and kicked off the final landscaping phase. Many thanks again goes out to the team from Eden Earthworks for being fast and reliable.

Mirror Success

After much thought and searching for ideas and products to mount this 30kg mirror we have success. It took about 4 hours of careful measuring and attaching of the brackets but well worth it as we hauled it up on it's mounting. I'll add a short how to in the coming days showing the products used.

Bathroom Mirror Installed

Bit of saga but we got there after 2 failed attempts at getting the size right, one Metricon's fault and one mine. Very happy with the result and the bathroom starting to look 100% complete except for the shutters and towel rail.

Pendant Lights Finally Arrive

Everything we pick seems to be out of stock and takes 6-8 weeks to arrive. But the good news is the pendants have arrived and I've had one installed this afternoon so we can get a feel for the length of the drop and spacing before we install the other two.

Blinds Installed

Decided on a sheer fabric in light grey for the lounge (Looks white in the right light) and a pearl finish block out in gunmetal colour for the bedrooms and study. We have ordered white shutters for the bathroom and ensuite but there is about a 6 week waiting time. The roller blinds were completed and installed in exactly 7 days.

A hint for those still building, see if you can get your SS to allow for a measure and quote on blinds, curtains etc before handover to save some waiting time which can be as long as 8 weeks on some shutters.

Mirror Mirror On The Wall

Well soon to be...when I figure how to mount it safely. Lucky there is a stud in the centre of where it is going and I figure if I use hollow wall anchors either side so it is sitting on 3 hooks all should be OK. Well that's the theory...lol
