Fixing Continues

Joe (builder) was hoping to have fixing complete before Christmas after getting a good head-start, but a couple of minor hiccups delayed us beyond recovery.  Still, we have floors down, most of the skirting and architraves done, tiling completed upstairs and almost done in our ensuite, and the front and back decks almost completed.  We also have started on the retaining walls which should be completed in the new year.

Decks just got their first coats of clear protection today, and they look a treat.  With most of the retaining wall done the entertainment area out back is really starting to take shape.  Can't wait to see the finished product!

Main thing we are waiting on now to finish the fixing stage is the cabinetry.  Cabinetmaker (Sussex Designer Kitchens) is expecting to install last week of Jan, so hopefully by mid Feb we will have kitchen, laundry and vanities installed, which will allow Joe to finish skirting, tilling, etc.


Have attached a few photos of current state to keep you interested!
