After that the electrician, plumber and fixtures can be installed to finish off the house...
We ran into a few late issues...
1. I happened to come across some "Builder Plans" in our house. The design of the portico was completely different from what the final result is as below... Initially the plaster was suppose to be recessed in behind the facade wall. In the end the porch is full brick work over the doorway

| Our ugly portico |
Basically, the metal frame work that was holding the bricks of portico up was exposed and they "stuck on" some plaster, which I assume they will paint. The final result looks far from nice or luxurious as they quote to be, they will need to finish it off better... Ill need to talk to my SS about it.
2. Our flooring - Trendtime blackbutt 1 - is completely out of stock, was initially suppose to be laid down on the 23rd of July, but at this stage, stock will only arrive on the 12th Aug!
They offered a change or an upgrade to anything else in the range, but we really like it and want to stick with it.
I used the opportunity to upgrade our laminate underlay, which was initially quoted $2000+ but because of this they will do it at cost for $865! Which is pretty amazing.
The product is a 3mm rubber acoutic underlay from the UK called instalay. http://www.instafloor.co.uk/products/instalay.aspx
Otherwise the first coats of paint were done and the initial timber stain. Hopefully will be completed this week so the rest of the fit off can occur next week.
