SS resigned...

Got call from CSA that the SS has resigned due to some personal reason. He is quite good guy and did a good job on the house. I wish he would have stayed till the end. Met him today at the site by accidentally, he was handing over the job to the new SS. Wished all the best and good luck.

As the handover department is quite busy, may be the new SS can do the handover. Most probably looks like another 5 - 6 weeks.

Was just passing by the house, was not carrying the camera took some photos with the Mobile phone.


Kitchen is almost completed - except the free standing and range hood.
The splash back and benchtop are blending well.

Bathroom tiling and fit off almost completed

Now to the sensational Ensuite - may be this was one of the reasons we choose Regatta 288.
Very happy with selection, it turned out really well.

Mirror missing yet,

May be we can fit the whole family here.. :-)

Choose the bamboo floor, it is more harder and 14mm of real hard pressed bamboo and environmentally friendly. Put down the deposit for it, will most probably will be laying the floor ourself with the help of brother and a friend. Will save atleast $1500 with DIY solution.

Bayside - Wife wants this lighter color.

I like this - gives more like real timber look
Will be deciding on the color this weekend. More real pics can be found on this website http://crikeybamboo.com.au/gallery.html.

Long time no Update..

Hello All,

Dear blog followers/readers accept my sincere apologies for not posting any updates from a long time. As I have been away and bit of tragedy happen back home in India. It took time to recover from that. Was busy with work and other things, was always thinking of posting but couldn't do it. Staying away from wife also make things hard,she is staying back home. So anyhow, by the time I came back 3rd week of Jan - plaster was on. Had plans to pre-plaster inspection, unfortunately that didn't happen. SS seems to be good and always assures everything will be fixed and will get good house,just hoping every thing is fine.

Current status is the house is in practically completion stage. Had few issues with wet areas, frame, slab, bricks motor, slab hole and etc...seems to be/will fixed.

Here are some current images...please feel free to comment and let me know if you guys need to see any more old pictures....Thanks!

Garage door - seems to be looking ok - not sure the colour above it..



We are quite happy with the selections

This is long story of them not doing the waterproofing properly. It seems be a lump on the board. Is this acceptable?
