This week was all about flooring. Most of it has been installed and the carpet underlay is down in the two minor bedrooms and little hallway between those and the main bathroom. The OCD in me really wants to get in and wipe the dust off those new floors - it's killing me!

When the foreman contacted me on Tuesday, he said the mirrors and shower screens would be installed next week, but I was pleasantly surprised to see they were already up today.

I noticed the shelves were installed in the pantry and the door handle had been installed. I told hubby this morning, "We could live in there as is." The fact that there are shelves in the pantry really means we're at the tail end of the build.

And speaking of doors, now that the deadlock and door handle have been installed on the front door, I'm less upset about the height of the original hole. It looks nice.

The foreman had also mentioned that another coat of render would be applied to the garage surround. It needs at least one more coat, but I'm happy so far.

The search for a fencer continues. I think they're mostly very lazy. Even worse, I have a request that's complicating it slightly. I would like a plinth under the fence, so there is no space between the bottom of the Colorbond and the ground. I noticed my back neighbour has done one, post original installation. That makes me very happy. Notice the huge gap under my side neighbour's back fence:

I'm not really sure what else is left to do in the house, with exception to the carpet. The junction boxes need to be set up where our exterior lights will be. Three on the front, one on the back, one outside the laundry room, one in the alfresco area. Aside from that, we chose to put front landscaping in the package so that will need to be done along with the driveway and mailbox.

Dulux White Duck is the colour of the render on the garage surround and this is our mail box that will also be in that colour.

Very much looking forward to next week. It's getting very very real.
