Upstairs Downstairs



The stairs have been completed so now the kids can see the upstairs and where their rooms are going to be. This looking from the top of the stairs. You can also see a shelf which we weren't aware that we were getting so a pleasant little surprise. Now we just have to figure out what we are going to put there.

And a view of the stairs from the bottom. The stairs will be ultimately carpeted.


Doors are ready to be installed and the folding door to the ensuite is in sections.




Architraves and skirting boards have also been delivered and so we should start to see those installed this week.
A view of the upstairs, looking through the doorway of the master bedroom down to the what will ultimately be the boys room at the end. The doorway on the left is nothing exciting - just the linen press. The media/study area is the open space on the right.

What's behind the round window? Now all can be revealed. The ensuite to the master bedroom. The bath is directly behind it and the shower base to the left. The vanity will be on the right.

Plastered

For those following this blog - sorry about the delay but we went away for a month for a holiday.

The bricks have all been cleaned so the true colour of the bricks shows up. The outside of the house is now complete.

And a view of the front of the house with the verandah. We still need to get the garage door put up.

The plastering has been completed downstairs at least. We can't get upstairs to see if it has been done there also. This is looking down the main corridor to the front door.



The entry to the living room has two cutouts. They have come up quite well.


Looking down the from the corridor to the kitchen. The doorway on the left is to the walk-in pantry. The floor also has been cleaned. Now with the plasterboard on, you really get a feeling of the house and how it will look.
We have also been busy getting carpets and tiles ordered. The end is now in sight.
