We Are Finally In!!!!

Yes, it's true. We are finally in. Actually we have been in for two weeks now but with all of the unpacking and setting up that we've been doing, I've hardly had time to even take a photo let alone put it on here. Today, after vacuuming, I decided that it was time to take a few happy snaps on the mobile and put them on here. Obviously not the best quality photography, but most of the photos on this blog have been taken on my phone and they seem ok so far. I think I'll add to the collection later when we are more set up and have more of our things up on the walls, however I thought it time to post at least something.

So, here goes. Our brand new home with its furnishings finally in place.

The spare bedroom.


Our beautiful laundry. I actually want to be in there!


Our gorgeous kitchen. I love this kitchen so much!!


The start of the theatre. So far the chairs are in place but the screen and projector still have to go up. Everything is a work in progress at the moment and it is probably best that this be one of the last things to go up as when it does.... there goes the rest of the work ;)


Our family room.



Our ensuite.


Our fabulous bedroom. Another one of my favourite rooms in the house.



The formal lounge dining room.


The study.

Final Walk Through

Our Site Supervisor called on Friday to advise a change to our final walk through time, however the date had not changed. Believe it or not ... it's Monday!!!!

As promised here are the pictures I have taken today. The house needs a final clean but other than that we think it looks beautiful and couldn't be happier.

An Eventful Month

Considering we had a three week break on our house over Christmas, January certainly turned into an eventful month. Not only have I completely neglected the blog, but with the flooding around SE Qld we didn't even really go out to the house that much until about last week.

We were very fortunate to not have been affected personally by the flooding at either this new home or the one we are renting. In fact, we went to see our new neighbours during the flood (when we could get out) and it seemed as if nothing was even happening in our little estate. Life was normal.

When the tradesmen were able to get back through to our house, they finished the painting, plumbing and electrical, installed the security screens and also the insulation and cleaned the place (better than I imagine it will ever see!). And that has just been in the last two weeks. Again, we can't speak highly enough of Coral and their commitment to not only the quality of our job but the ability to do it quickly.

I've included a few photos to show the progress, but they aren't very good and therefore would rather wait until I have taken proper ones on the camera.

We think that the main floor tiling may start this week which is very exciting. We don't have a finish date at this stage but things are looking very close. I will take more pictures this week and update ASAP.
