Bit of a small update, Construction certificate came through today and formal bank approval. Now just to wait for the electrician to contact us to do our electrical plan, then to sign contracts!

Here's hoping for something to start by Mid Feb!

Tiles

Yesterday was a pleasant surprise, our tile selection day!
We were told upon booking that we only had up to 3 hours, which we laughed at knowing we didn't need that long, and sure enough, after 45 mins we were done!

Mind you, with matching tiles in laundry, en-suite and bathroom and then only the front porch to choose it was easy.

After the very limited choices from Allworth with everything else, we were pleasantly surprised with their tile supplier, we had a really good choice to choose from, and a lovely consultant who helped us a great deal!

Now just to wait until the sparky gets in touch to do our Electrical plan, and to keep waiting until we hear from council. With 7 more business days before Christmas it will be interesting to see if we get approval now or late Jan!

Colours!

Sorted our colours out today, in and out within 2 hours, and only spent about an extra $800 on a fancier shower head, 2 feature walls and some nicer taps. No complaints!
A mixture of wild rocks, seamist, silver, greys, browns, donkeys, kid leather and whites!

Now just tiles to choose and electrical and keep waiting for council!
