We met with the electrician today, we walked through and specified where we wanted TV points, power points, telephone points etc. We want most of our TV's on the walls so they aren't taking up too much space so we have some power points and TV points going higher up on the walls. We added TV points to all the bedrooms also to save issues down the track. We added a powerpoint to the island bench, hidden under the overhang so you can't see it and also to the pantry so I can plug things in there hidden away also. They will be doing the electrical on Friday and then next week the plaster will be going up, finally. I noticed the cabinetmaker had been into the house and marked out the kitchen and island benches so I'm guessing they go in pretty soon too :-)
I will post some more photos next week when the plaster goes up.

Eaves are done
Went by the house today as I was told eaves were being done this week, sure enough, when I got there all eaves are done, including the alfresco and portico ceilings. No photos yet, will update the photos once the internal fittings and gyprock starts :-)

Halfway hooray!
We just received the invoice for lock-up, which means now we get to see the interior start to take shape. The interior is what I am excited about the most.
We already have a bath installed, I think they installed that to check where the bath spout would sit. As I chose to put the mixer tap and spout on the opposite wall to the plans and now the original bath spout in our package doesn't reach to the bath. We had two options, move the bath spout to another wall OR purchase a swivel arm bath spout that is longer and will reach and will tuck away against the wall when not in use. I really liked the sound of that because then there is no annoying bath spout or taps to get in the way at all.
Below are the two taps we are considering, the Reece Tap is longer and I think will be a little more practical but there are some other measurements I want to check before we commit to it. The other one is a Millennium Tap and I prefer the look of that tap but it doesn't reach quite as far and I'm not certain it will work as well as the other one but won't know for certain until we go and measure up the bath some more.
We also had our ducted reverse cycle aircon unit installed the same day as the bath, the main unit is in the roof but there is no fan unit outside yet as the electricals have not been done, that should be happening very soon.
Next, we have an internal garage plaster and doors installed.
