Let the Painting Begin.
Not being able to get in the house is annoying, but we do what we can to get photos. The painters have started and looks like almost one coat has been done right through the house.
Our kitchen bench top and sink has also been installed.

Tile Problems!
We were thinking that this would happen and it did!
We got a call fro Di Lorenzo on Monday to advise us that the tile we had chosen for our wet area floors was discontinued. There was nothing else that we liked in the range that was available to us and we didn't want to pay anymore than we already had.
We headed of to Di Lorenzo on Thursday and spent about 2 hours re-selecting our tile. The hardest part was, since our vanities were already installed we had to find one that would match!
Thankfully they had a new tile in the range which they didn't have on display yet. The salesperson showed us the tile and huzzah! A tile for us!! So we signed the paperwork and headed out. It was not over. We hopped in the car and as we were driving out I noticed that they had changed our wall time without our knowledge.
We went back and asked them how they could change the wall tile without out consent yet when we had to change our floor tile they had to ask us???!!!
The salesperson was rude and abrupt and simply said "Well if you don't want it we can delay your house until you can get the one you originally wanted!"
The original wall tile we chose was as close to a flat edge tile you could get without paying extra. Now different suppliers and and even the same tile in a different batch can be different, but the salesperson didn't care and to prevent the delay of the house we accepted the change in wall tile and headed home.
So those building beware and always check paperwork twice as companies like Di Lorenzo may try to screw you over and give you the only option of delaying your build.

Waterproofing and minor things
Here are some better pics of the waterproofing in the Bathroom and ensuite. I have also included pics of the garage door and electrical work that was done to pull the cables through for the GPO's and switches. One of the bottom pics is the robe that we added to bed 4/Office. In the original house plan it was a sort of bookcase area.

Garage Door and Gas
They have installed our garage door and gas meter. This must mean they successfully found the gas line, as the last we heard was they couldn't find it. I haven't been able to get in to the house to take some more photos of the kitchen and vanities just yet as nobody has been on site when I have visited. But I shall keep trying.

Locked up!
We have reached lock up stage! It makes it hard to get pics but it means we are getting ever so close to the end. They have done some of the skirting boards, internal doors and waterproofing.
I hope to get some better pics tomorrow, but here are some taken from outside through the windows.

Quick Update
Lock up was due to happen today. We visited our site this morning and seen the construction guys there working away and they said it will happen. They are also doing all the skirting, door frames and doors. Hopefully I can get back to the site tomorrow arvo or even this weekend before it gets dark. I don't like my chances though as I am working day work all weekend.

Architraves in place.
The Architraves have been done throughout the house and we love the decorative one in the main areas of the house. We have also been advised that we should reach lock up stage this week. :)
