Loving our new light...

We finally have got around to installing a feature light to our stairs, loving the one we chose....

 

 
 
I also bought these three framed prints on ebay ($40 including postage) they came from Melbourne wrapped in the thinest piece of bubble wrap and some paper, I can't believe they didn't get damaged! They add a nice bit of colour to the walls.


 
We still have a few items being finished as part of our maintenance, yes it's been dragging on for months!, but credit to Eden Brae, they are following up on everything we ask, given that our SS left them shortly after our home was completed!!

Finally some sunshine! Photo update...

Finally some sun has been shining and I could get out to take a photo of our completed landscaping and walls.

We met our next door neighbours (who very kindly came around to pay us their portion of the fence before it even went up!) they are starting their build soon with Allcastle Homes and are a very nice couple with a toddler. It's nice to see lots of couples who built around us are of similar age to us with kids either a little older or younger than ours. I can see all our kids forming neighbourhood friendships in the coming years!

Blinds have been installed (missing the ones that side our alfresco area though!) and we are just waiting on our gates to arrive this week now.

Front stairs are tiled, we are finally getting there.....

We are starting to get there, it's been just over a month since we moved in all of the landscaping is done, the fencing begins next week, waiting to confirm our blinds installation, our SS was back this week to make a list of things to follow up (including lots of external paintwork that wasn't done before handover!) and our front stairs were tiled yesterday.



Here is a photo of the front entry stairs, they still need to be cleaned, but we picked a sandstone looking tile to match the sandstone capping we have, the tiler did a great job! Photos of the inside to come after our blinds are installed....
