Lock-Up and Beyond

Reached lock-up a couple of weeks ago, and everything seems to be taking off.  Outside we are still waiting on the last bit of rendering to be completed and painted, so that we can install the fence and retaining walls.  Not as much of a rush now as we can work on the inside if the weather doesn't suit.

Inside everything seems to be flying along.  Plumber and Electrician have been through and roughed out piping and electrical wiring.  Hydronic heating pipes have also been installed, and just this week insulation was installed in the walls.  Plasterers were here this weekend installing battens on the ceiling, and insulation will then be installed on the ceiling.

Next week we are expecting plastering to start, more insulation to be installed, and a visit from Melbourne Stairs to measure up for our stairs.  Also hoping to install solar panels on the roof while we have rafters exposed making wiring easier.

Because of all the activity we are getting busy picking tiles, a vanity unit, cornice, finalising colours for the kitchen, etc, etc, etc!!
