The exterior painting continues with the finished colour now going on. Looks very bold and contrasts really well with the white eaves and trim.
Posts for the retaining wall are now in and concrete has been poured, the builders are making the most of the patchy weather at the moment!
On the inside the electrical fitout has begun. The fuse box has been installed into the garage and the lighting and switching cables have been run to wall brackets throughout the house. Data cabling yet to be done and will be run back to a separate cabinet. Going into the ceiling space upstairs is the for the ducted heatpump, vents for this go into all the rooms upstairs.
Also being run at this time is the piping for the Beam vacuum system. We’ve upgraded the system so instead of having to drag around 20m of hose (and then store it), there is 3 separate outlets positioned around the house and each has a 15m retractable hoses which gets retracted into.
In the bathrooms the shower niche’s are in (main bathroom shown below), the master ensuite has changed from having a niche at each side of the 1.8m wide shower to having a single niche running the full width.
Rondo battens are also going up – these are what the plasterboard will get secured to, so we’re not far off from having walls we can’t see through anymore!
