Keys =)

Yay......all ours!!
Opening the door to our new home =)
Just a few of our keys and gifts from the builder
We are thrilled with Celebration Homes! They built within their timeframe, service from everyone we spoke to was friendly (from the office right through to the tradesmen onsite), our supervisor was thorough and the tradesmen did such a fantastic job. We had no major problems and were able to relax and enjoy the build.

Well I guess that is it for our building journey, it's felt so quick! I will post again in a couple of weeks with a little photo tour, we should have paint and flooring then.

Though right now......I think it's time for a drink to celebrate =)

Week 21

Unfortunately not too many pics to share this post. With a combination of winter bugs and work commitments, neither of us has been able to make it to the house whilst the tradesmen have been onsite, so we've had to settle with looking through the windows at any inside progress.

Despite not being able to get in, we were excited to see the tiling had started with the Laundry almost done and our Ensuite shower under way, I love our feature tile =). It also seems the painters have finished the doors, door frames and shelf timbers. I took some pics, but dirt or reflection didn't play nice and most didn't turn out. I can't really not post a pic though, so I have one that I suppose turned out semi-ok (it's not great, but the best I could do for now).

The Ensuite tiling......

 One wall of the shower done in the feature tile (see below)
A pic of the feature tile used

We were thrilled to see the painters have also made a start outside......



And the garage floor now looks prepped for the grano


Hopefully we will get to look inside soon and take some decent pics of the tiles =)

Update: 6 September 2011
Since technically it's still the 21st week, I figured these belong here......
Inside pic of the Ensuite =)
Something new ~ Kitchen splashback =)
The only pic that includes the finished paintwork to the doors
The Laundry which has the same feature tile as the Ensuite

The new garage floor

Yay for inside photos, thanks to the tiler and lamingtons hehe!

And another thanks to our SS who let us move the feature tiles in the laundry and change the grout colour to our feature tiles on the ensuite shower wall and bath hob =)
