As you can see the top coat has been applied to the portico. The colour is Malay Grey.
All the bathroom mirrors are in and so is the bath in the main bathroom.
I'm already loving the shelving in the butlers pantry. Plenty of room for anything I can think of. We have plans to change the shelving on the left. After handover we'll remove the middle two shelves and put in a benchtop.
This is the wardrobe fit out in the master bedroom. The additional shelving and drawers were part of the momentum promotion we signed up for.
Here's the ensuite with the double mirrors.
So what next? I spoke to our SS last night. The kitchen splash backs should already be in (but aren't) so they should go in this coming week. The painter is due back next Saturday and the Metricon inspectors will come through early the following week. Our SS has said that we'll probably do our inspection on Friday 12th. A neighbour suggested that we remove the 'chinaman's hat' light shades before we do our inspections as they make quite a difference to the way the finish on the ceiling looks. We think that the plasterers have done a pretty good job but it won't hurt to take them down.
Had a look at some carpet options today - quotes ranged between $10,000 and $19,000 for 100% pure NZ wool carpets with premium underlay. Now we're only putting carpet in the bedrooms, kids leisure area, theatre room, sitting room, study and walk-in-robe so $19,000 is a lot of money (and out of our price range) - but boy was the carpet beautiful!
We had Metricon quote for carpeting, and I couldn't find anyone that was remotely close to their price. We paid something like $6000 for a silver range carpet. But then again you might have a larger area to cover. Take a look at my blog it might give you an indication.
