Starting to look like a house!!!

Our house building has continued while the Corona virus has been going on, thankfully construction is one of the "essential" services that continues at the moment, even as we are going into our 2nd lock-down from yesterday (midnight 8th July 2020).

While we still had the chance - without be nervous about the $1652 fine issued to people who are driving around for non-essential reasons - Oscar and I went to the house yesterday to check progress. We were lucky that a trades person was there, so we could get in and see everything.

A lot has happened since my last update, 

1. the outside of the house is completely rendered and finished off, we are just waiting for a garage door to be installed.
2. plaster has gone up on all walls inside, along with skirting boards, architraves and doors, and the whole house has been painted.
3. just this past two weeks, water proofing has been done and all cupboards have been installed in the bathrooms, kitchen and laundry.
4. Tiles have been delivered ready for install in the bathrooms/laundry/kitchen.

We have visited the house a few times during this period, however I've somehow not managed to get pictures uploaded...

We are excited it's finally starting to look like a house 😃

Here are some pictures;

Walk in pantry with more drawers 😍 and marble look benchtop (laminate) for
appliances, coffee machine, kettle, etc. so they don't take up space on kitchen bench.
The benchtop in the kitchen is similar just in ceasarstone.

My FANTASTIC pull-out pantry!!!! 😃😃😃

Laundry with space for washing machine and dryer under benchtop.
