3.11.2013 Kitchen and Tiling

We were at lockup stage last week. Since then heaps of things have been happening. Our internal doors and built-in wardrobe doors are all completed. All the architraves have also been completed.

Our Front door is from the Nexus range and is called MDJ4 . We have gone with Omni TriLock which will look great. We have gone with stained finish.

Laundry door is also stained and is JST1 with translucent glazing. Master, Pantry and Media room have all got LIN1 doors with stained finished. All other internal doors will be from standard range.

The Rain Water tank has also arrived and has been installed along with all the downpipes. The colour we have chosen is “DUNE” which blends in well with the bricks.

All wet areas have been waterproofed with tiling to be completed this week. All the tiles have been delivered and so are the kitchen and vanities for the bathroom. This should all be completed this week too. Our garage door is also looking great. We had the feeling that it might not go well with the bricks and we were getting it changed to timber look after handover. We might put that idea on hold.


I couldn't take many pictures as we don’t have the luxury now to walk inside. I took some pictures through the windows. 















3.11.2013 Progress Payment Delayed

We haven’t had any issues with any of our Progress Payments and our bank has been really quick to get the valuer out to the check the building progress and release the funds. Usually McDonald Jones sends me an invoice by email and I just forward it to the bank with my authority to pay. Our Progress Payment 4 invoice was never sent to us in an email and we got that on the last day of the due date in mail. I rang our CLO and explained her that the invoice was received on due date and it cannot be paid on time. She just extended our dates with no issues and the bank took care of the rest.
