Kitchen installed and bathroom tiles






Allworth have been busy the past week. They installed the kitchen with the ceaserstone and the bathroom tiles have started. We were told 5 weeks from lockup so we could quite possibly be ready first week of Feb, depending when Allworth come back.

Locked up!!!

There has been plenty of action lately. We had the insulation placed in the walls and the roof, followed by gyprock throughout the house. The house is looking bigger now that the walls are up. The bricks were cleaned, the bricks look darker then we anticipated. Hopefully the white garage will brighten things up. Cornices were completed and doors were delivered. The house is locked up now, im finding it hard not being able to walk through the house.. Been told by our supervisor that kitchen will be installed this week and tiling may start in the bathrooms.
Also fyi Allworth come back from the Christmas break on the 10th of January. So hopefully they might start doing things from the middle of January. Also the concerto next door to us has been scarped.

What colour splashback?

Hey guys just would like some advice on what colour splash back i should get. I have cs cashmere and laminex moleskin cupboards. Our kitchen is sort of like a u shape and its really long. We would need a lot of splash back. I really want a glass splash back and is wondering if red would look ok? Nothing in the house is red.... Do i need to accessorise the other areas to match the kitchen? I found this red kitchen picture and fell in love with it. Tell me what ya think.

Frames Completed

House is moving along really well, the frame work is all completed now with the windows in. Tomorrow the facia's are getting done if it doesn't rain and roof tiles are due to arrive on Thursday.

We've got an issue with the power at the front of our land, there is none... We don't have a power box directly to our block so the electrical company only ran a conduit from the power box to the front of our land. However the electrician/builder are going to charge me $885 to pull the cable through.. Not sure what I can do, have spoken to Landcom and they said thats how it is.. Thinking of going to Fair Trading now to get this resolved...

Here is a pic of what of what I'm talking about.
