Fireplace

Bought our gas fireplace today.  Will be going in between the two windows in our family room.  The lovely people at "Impressions", Castle Hill are going to store it for us until we need it.  They have such a big range of fireplaces to choose from and their new display makes it easier to choose what suits your needs best.











In the meantime, the slab has been curing.
Has been good weather for that as well since
it's been raining on and off for the last few days.
Fences will probably go up soon.

Girl's Rooms

Trying to come up with some good design ideas for the girl's rooms.  They have their own ideas of course. Pink is out of the question now that they are much older.   Here are a few of their colour preferences.

Sandrika's Room Inspiration

"We have a slab"

So excited today when we went by the land and saw them working on the slab.  By 2pm the guys were finished and they did such a good job of it too.  Looks really smooth and so big.  Can actually see where the patio and alfresco etc. is going to be.  The guy working there said that frames should be delivered and completed by early next week.
Got an email from our CSR, Sara today and she gave us the name of our site supervisor, Stephen.  From other blogs, we hear he's pretty good.  Lets hope we don't have to complain to him too much.

The guys working on the slab at 10 am.

Slab progress

Pods installed Monday 28/03/11, ready for concrete now.

Decorating Update

Well, I've started to buy some stuff for the house now.  We needed a new dining table.  Decided to buy a square table as it seems to be the best option for our meals area.  Been debating on a few options and finally decided to buy this table from Domayne.  Thankfully, they agreed to store it for us until we need it.

Also bought this really nice mirror.  We have a really large alcove adjacent to our media room.  Tossed up putting a book shelf there or a nice picture.  The bookshelf will end up collecting junk and the option of the picture sounded so boring.  So we saw this really nice mirror at Vast, almost 2m by 2m which will fit our alcove perfectly.  The nice guy at Vast agreed to store it for me as well.  

Framework and plumbing completed.

Piering being done.
