CONSTRUCTION - 16.05.2016 PCI DONE

PCI!!!!!
We cannot believe that 1 year after putting the deposit down on the H&L package, we are so close to the finish line!

Although there are still a few things to be fixed up, for example our letter box, driveway and front yard, etc., we are very happy with how everything turned out (our colour choices which were made 10 months ago)

Our house looks so much better with painted pillars in windspray colour (matching the roof) than just surfmist.

after
 Front door - Hume NEX35 in Gemini Sliver colour and with translucent glasses. Tri-lock Angular satin chrome.

Wall colour - stonebridge, 90mm classic cornices (matt), architraves (gloss) in standard white.
Floor - Gerflor insight clic caldwell (very dusty, not yet cleaned)

Interior doors - Hume DEN
Walk in robe - melamine shelving

Shower - stainless steel frame (floor tiles are grey and wall tiles are white..)
 Vanity - 3 drawer banks
 Mirror - frameless
 Tapware - impression package
 Hand towel rings / double towel rail

since we used warm light, everything looks a bit yellow.

Kitchen splash back (detroit grey) had just been installed. It looked less green than I expected - thumbs up. All cabinets are inmatt white colour (hides the fingerprints and grease; no reflections). Our ceasarstone benchtop is 20mm white shimmer which has little bling bling effects, no waterfall. Taps (water and filtered water) and double bowl undermount sink are from impression upgrades.

Looking into dining room from the kitchen. We added an extra window at the back.

 I'll give more details in my next update, listing out all 'issues' and 'questions' we raised during PCI.

CONSTRUCTION - 16.04.2016 One month later..


One month later....

Other than the 2-week delay on the floorings, everything else was moving fast.
Driveway was ready to be poured and painting was done inside and out - kinda.. (they missed to paint the pillars)



We were only able to see inside through the windows. It looked like all tap wares, shelving and electrical were completed already.

Wall colour is stonebridge, I'll post clearer photos in the PCI update.
