Update from Sun 6th July, '08

Well since Friday, i've downloaded some pics for you guys
(sorry their small, they're off the mobile).

Here's some of the Telstra contractors digging our trench. They dug from the lead in cable which was locate in the middle of the driveway diagonally across the front of the house to the meter box on the other side of the house, so about 25m's?:




And the result! Our very own madison box!!!:



Anyway, we went down to the house again this afternoon.

We noticed that the mirror in the ensuite was taken down and replaced with another one over the weekend.



Some of the laminex end pieces of the upper kitchen cupboards beside the rangehood, had been taken down and replaced.



The side panels of the ensuite and bathroom cabinets were still off today too....



We've had an issue with the top laminate strip on the side shadowline area of the cabinets. This is what it looked like before:





Hopefully they are replacing the side panels of the 2 cabinets (bathroom & ensuite), they have to be back on tomorrow, and ready for handover on Tuesday.

The only thing that will be outstanding out of ALL the items i have been told, is the single panel of the garage door that requires replacing, because they installed a handle incorrectly.

Anyway, the reason for heading down to the house this afternoon was to paint/seal the garage concrete floor. We swept and i vacuumed it, looking like a complete nob! :roll: :roll:

Who in their right mind vac's their garage!!! lol...but i needed to make sure there was minimal dust before we painted.

Here are some pics:



We ran out of paint, 3/4 of the way through the job, so i had to run off the Bunnings to get another 4lt tin. It really soaked it up!!! When i came back we needed to use the car headlights as the light had just about gone!





I'll head back there tomorrow to roll on the 2nd coat myself. Then we can start to move stuff in during the week!!!

If we didn't seal the floor in there, we would never get around to doing it, so it's best to do it now....lol...that's me, always pre-planning!

Henley still need to come back tomorrow and do ANOTHER clean of the house, as its still not presentable...and there is still some broken bricks etc. that are still on site that requires removal since they rectified some issues.

Nearly there!

Hi Phoenix - just wondering what paint you used for the garage floor, and the approx cost? I'd like to do the same for the 2 garages I have and I'm trying to work out what the hell to use. Cheers.
