Next Friday

That's what Mr Sandwich says now. That's more realistic than Tuesday. It's still ambitious, but it is possible. I thought I'd better do another update anyway or else the house will be finished and I'll have nothing left to talk about (yeah right).

This is the painted, rendered front of the house. Since I took this photo they have done the ridge capping over the bay window. There is supposed to be an arched moulding above the windows, but apparently they made it the wrong size so that is going to fixed up.

They have put in the kitchen benchtops, and (since this photo) patched the gyprock behind, but both of these still have problems. The joins in the bench are dodgy (broken/not straight) and need fixing, and in one place the gyprock is not flat either -- must have a screw head or something behind it.

The bathrooms are looking pretty good, now they have been painted, so I thought I would show a picture of one of them -- this is the ensuite.

I am running around trying to get tiles and carpet installed so we can start moving in by January. Looking promising so far. I guess I just didn't believe Mr Sandwich would have got it done so fast.

This is the list of everything that still needs to be done (or that I have issues with) before handover:

• meterbox replaced
• watertank installed
• spa pump installed
• garage doors
• arched mouldings
• shower screens
• garage fluoros
• R3.5 in ceiling
• Kitchen bench joins fixed straight
• Hot water + controller
• Covers for posts between sliding doors (and gap above)
• Laundry security door
• BI wardrobes
• Towel rails + bog roll holders
• Beading on glazed door
• Water meter moved
• Kitchen gyprock flat
• Vanity mirrors

I dare say some more issues will arise, but Mr Sandwich plans to address all of these next week.
