UPDATE:
Pool builders have finished framing up for the pour, and have already done the concrete footings. Slight drama when it became apparent that they made the pool one metre too long. This wouldn't have worried me, except that it would have cut dramatically into the deck area at the side of the pool where we planned to have banana lounges/table and chairs etc.
So, they had to pull one end of the boxing off and re-do it. All systems go now for the pour next Wed, which was supposed to be Mon. Oh well.
The plasterers have finished hanging the entire house inside as of yesterday, only the upstairs areas to bog and sand now. All the rooms have now taken their final shape, and it seems to have gotten bigger inside and higher at the ceilings - 2.7m.
The scaffolding has been taken down and we can finally see the entire house as is. Looks good so far; a bit more painting of panles around the front door, but these won't be done until the final bit of plastering is done underneath the overhanging guest bedroom and 3rd living room.
Final window glass panels to go in next Wed (they cut 4 of them wrong size), as well as front door, which has a "slump glass" decorative panel in it. Can't wait to see it.
Going down to pick out interior doors (semi-solid core) and door furniture tomorrow morning. Just have to try and organise a babysitter to take care of the boys whilst this is done - too boring for them and too much like hard work for us with them in tow.
Garage door is ready but won't be installed until after the painter has been through it.
