Splashback

We finally got the glass splashback installed on Friday 16th August. We like how it looks

We got the blinds installed on Monday 12th of August. We just wanted something simple so we've just got roller blinds on all the windows. The blinds on the back of the house are not complete block out as we don't have any houses (and won't have) behind us. All the other blinds are block out blinds.

Blind in the study (you can see how much water we have laying around)

Other than that there is not anything else to update. It is still too wet for any of the outside painting, rendering or deck staining to be done.

Not finished, but we are in!

We got the keys to our house on the 2nd of August. There is still a bit to do before it is completely finished. Most of it is the outside painting and rendering, but we have to wait until the weather gets a bit better before they come back and do it.

We weren't happy with how the pantry was fitted out and compromised with the builder. We thought it would be all shelving either side and instead he put shelving on only one side and cupboards without doors on the other side. We asked if he could put doors on the cupboards and he was happy to do it and we think it looks a lot better. We actually like that there is a place for the micowave and other things. We were thinking we might need some overhead cupboards in the kitchen but now we certainly don't!

We have to wait until this week for the glass splashback to go in. It's been delayed for weeks and finally they came to install it last week only to find that the holes for the power points would not line up. We choose the same colour for the splashback as the feature walls. The kitchen rangehood was put in on the 1st of August
