Things are speeding along.
During design phase, I was a bit concerned about the lack of window over the stairs for natural light.
Not too bad - although, there is still light coming from the master bedroom. Will know exactly once the doors are in.
Bulkhead over kitchen
Manhole in master ensuite, not in the right place, was meant to be in the retreat.
Master WIR has been extended to 600mm depth. It looks smaller now that the plaster has gone in. Okay still pretty big :D
Powder room sink bulkhead is a bit low.
Garage floor has been prepared.
The trials and tribulations of building my first house(s) ... and second.

Lock up stage, pre plaster inspection
Received the lock up stage invoice 2 days ago. More delayed than I expected. I think the brick layers were held up.
8 September
Front door
12 September
Started bricking
15 September
Bricks completed
(Good to have someone next door taking photos!)
Had a look for the first time yesterday - pre plaster inspection was scheduled. I wasn't able to attend the whole time as I had to go to work.
Main thing I needed to check was electrical as the plasterers are going in on Mon.
Things that have been done:
- Living room window raised to 1.63 - so happy! Will now be able to fit my tv
- Master WIR depth hadn't changed but site supervisor said he could do it.
- Insulation installed.
- Sliding door frames installed.
- Ensuite has been reinforced. Not sure if there's enough reinforcement by toilet, but unlikely to have rail anyway.
- Front porch wall bricked.
- Electrical completed. Missing one porch light. Also had to change main switches of living/meals/kitchen to the hallway due to support timber beam. This happened last time too - I need to think about those beams! Should still be fine as most of them are 2 way switches, and a 2 way was added to the family.
- Bath installed
