Big decisions

This weekend we've focussed on choosing our driveway! We met a local landscaper on site yesterday who is giving us a quote. Today we've been busy visiting various paver display centres (I didn't know such things existed until we built this house) and have chosen to go for Austral Clay Pavers in Toasted Charwood...










We've been obsessively holding the pavers next to our colour plan (in my little scrap book) to make sure it all looks ok but I think the most accurate test is to see if the above image looks good on the blog... yeahhhhhh!

All systems GO!

Yesterday we received the call that we have been waiting for... "You will receive the keys on Thursday 11th June!" Yeayyyyyyyyyyyy!

Now it's all systems go arranging everything - finalising stuff with our rental, planning the move, and arranging all the final bits and bobs for the new house.

All EXCEEDINGLY exciting!

Doors, Handles & Essa Stone Benchtops!

Another good week of progress... The only things remaining to do now are the electrics, the plumbing and the flooring... eeeeeeek!

Oh my oh my... it's the garage door!

Today we took our beautiful guests (from the UK), Aneesa and Nadine to our house. It was a fantastic visit as the garage door had been installed along with mirrors, air conditioning, and shower screens. The painters have also started glossing.

AWESOMENESS!

It's a funny feeling now as our house is really starting to look like the 'artists impression' that Dan put together for the header (at the top) of this blog... clever!

As usual, the photos do all the talking:

Cupboards and shelves... how exciting!

We popped to the house yesterday (when I say 'popped' I actually mean 'spent two hours there') to check out the latest progress.

It was great to see the tiles were almost finished, the wardrobe fittings and cupboard/pantry shelves had been fitted and that the first coat of paint was on. Great also to see the external paint work completed (other than the front door).
