After a few weeks of relative inaction and no desperation to get out to our house to see how little had been done over the xmas break, I managed to sneak past today for a quick look. There had been surprisingly more action than I expected, with a whole host of little jobs completed. Even better, the thoughtful contractors that Metricon have been employing didn't even bother to lock up the back door. Another perfect coincidence that allowed me a good chance to sneak through and get a look around. It's great that I haven't yet had to resort to breaking anything to gain entrance to the place!!
In no particular order, the work done since my last update include: a garage door, painting throughout the house, lights, switches, powerpoints and data points installed, all of our internal doors and the benchtop in the kitchen, with the sink now also installed. I didn't get a chance to take any photos as I was only able to stop by briefly, but will hopefully get another chance to do so soon, maybe even when Sare and I finally get a chance to meet our new site supervisor as we get closer to completion. Next up looks like the tiling and flooring.
We've continued to develop our strategy for all of the small things that we'll have to do when we finally make it to handover date. We've found our dream couches for the main living area, I'm getting closer to working out how best to network the house properly (because I still have no confidence that the big M's electrical contractors have done things right), we're mapping out the driveway, concrete and decking that we'll need, imagining our garden, about to discuss changes to our lighting plan with some specialists and even more importantly, planning the first dinner party menu! So much to do still, but until we know our handover date, so much time in which to do it...
