Painting is complete!!!

Yippeeee, the painters finished yesterday!!!

A wonderful team of 5 guys worked solidly on our place and seem to have done a nice job. We had a meeting with our S/S on-site yesterday and it's looking great!!!! The paint was still wet in some places so we needed to be careful not to touch anything.

Again, our internal paint colours are:
Walls: Moon River
Doors/archs/skirts:Ashwood

The countdown is starting. The final programming of the house for handover has commenced and although we have not been given an actual date yet, it is definitely not far away.... The tiler starts next week and the house should be busy on a daily basis now.....H3nley are doing a great job and are exceeding our expectations so far!!!:D

I took lots of pics and the selected colours look good. Hmmmmm i'm thinking i maybe could have gone a bit darker on the internal walls, but it still looks okay.

OK, so here's a bit of a tour for you all:

Front door:
(Still not 100% happy with the Paperbark colour - black is looking pretty good!!)

Garage:

Front hallway:

Kitchen:



Meals/Dining (Complete with our lovely S/S - "D"):



Family:





Rear hallway:



Alfresco:





Master Bedroom:

Ensuite:

And last of all, our theatre:

The theatre will be repainted before the carpets go in to a colour much more suited to the room's purpose.

It's all going to be happening now from what we're being told, which is great!!!! In the home stretch!!!!

OK, i need to start working through my list of things to organise, telephone conn. and most importantly internet!!!! OMG, i'd die without internet!!!!

We have chosen to get our appliances installed when we physically move in and not at handover. We selected this as we want the timber floor and carpet installed/laid as soon as possible after we get the keys....THEN we'll move in....well, that's the plan anyway??? Fingers crossed.....

GO HENLEY GO!!!!


More updates soon!!! :D :D :D

But wait.....there's more!!!

Here's some more pics from today's visit. The pvc bottom connections for the downpipes as well as the meter box have been painted (in Jasper). But other than that, nothing else done inside today though that we can see?

And have a look at our nice white eaves:

We have a meeting on-site with our S/S on Wednesday afternoon to have a look at the paint job and plasterwork since it's been partially painted and hoping that we don't see any plaster joins around the place.

It looks pretty good through the windows, but we'd like to see it all up close!!!! - Of course!!!

Update Sun 20 April

We continue to be surprised when we visit our house....

It's been 2 days since our last visit, so we thought we'd drive down to the house this afternoon and see if anything more had been achieved.

Well, Ian noticed as we drove up, that the eaves and porch had been painted.

Ooooooh and the front door too!!!!

Woooo Hooooo....what else is in store for us???? I couldn't take off the seatbelt fast enough!!! :shock: :shock:


Well we've had the ceilings painted, including the garage and alfresco ceilings and a first coat it looks like on all of the internal walls.

The internal doors have also been painted:

Its looking a lot lighter in the house now. How exciting....can't wait to see it all done and see how good our colour selections are????

Bring on those tiles, i say!!!!!!

Update from Thur 17 April

Yipee, they ARE preparing for the paint process.

The walls are in the process of being filled and sanded.
The plaster in the bathrooms is being smeared with some light green goopy looking stuff (technical term of course) over the plaster joins and around the pipes for the taps....





The internal doors and hinges have also been pulled off, in preparation for painting.

Hopefully it won't be long now and we'll see some colour!!!

Update from Wed April 16

I noticed today that the inside of the house has been cleaned again....so hopefully they are going to commence the preparation for painting soon?

Here are a few pics:







LOL we're just waiting....waiting.......

Update from April 10th

We drove down this arvo to the house and found all the skirts and arch's off the walls, and you could hardly tell they were on in the first place....very nice job, no plaster damage! The new stuff was delivered and they have commenced putting on the 92mm skirts and they look much better.

Our WIR:

The cabinets have also now been installed throughout the house. Here are more pics:

Lookin Good!!!!! :D :D :D

Update from April 9th

LOL.....now where do i start.....

OK...well a meeting was arranged for the 9th of April with myself and our S/S "D" to cover some issues we had picked up...nothing major, a power point at the wrong height and downlights marked out in a line, that didn't line up that well....minor things....no biggie :wink:

So meeting at 2.45pm on site, no problems....

As i walk up, we have our front door on.... YEAH......GREAT...........
do you like our green feature colour???!!!!!!!!!! :wink: :wink:

I walk through the study door to get into the house and see that all the doors and architraves are on.....OK...GOOD, sort of....


I then walk into the family/kitchen area and this is what i see:

OMG!!!! We have a kitchen!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!

And our overheads cupboards (in Moleskin):

And a close up pic of our our handles!!!

Now, i'm definitely wrapt to see the kitchen going in, the guys fitting out the house have done a wonderful job and their workmanship is great, but it seems (and i noticed this as i walked into the house) that they've delivered and installed the wrong size and profile of the skirts and architraves!!!!!!!!!

Poor "D" he was both very upset and so apologetic when i told him they weren't correct!!!! Definitely not his fault, the items were ordered via the office....Oooops!!!!!

WOW, i'm glad i picked it up as i walked through the door...it's funny though, we're not mad at all.....you really have to laugh about it hey? :lol: :lol: :lol:

OK..... so "D" get's on the phone to fix it, but now the issue is that the guys who were supposed to finish on-site today now have to remove the existing skirts and arch's and replace them with the new delivery that will be delivered tomorrow on-site....


I decided to wander around, it seems that we have all our cabinets on site!!!

Heres our bathroom (It's Oyster Linea and will have Ice Snow C/S):

Our Ensuite (Again Oyster Linea and will have Ice Snow C/S):

Our Laundry (Mushroom Linea with Brook Pebble (laminate rolled edge benchtop to go on):

Oh and most importantly i have doors on my theatre now!!!!
Woooo Hoooo....sorry priorities!!! :roll: :roll:

Oh well, we'll be back on track soon.... :D :D
