He was pretty keen to be friendly, but he did tell us a few interesting things, foremost amongst them, we don't actually have to jump the fence - there are a whole heap of places you can just lift a bit of the fence up. I felt a little silly when he pointed that out. He also gave us the name of an online curtain company, and showed us the cornice-less design (he called it square set) in his unit. The square set thing looks pretty cool, very modern.
Then he told us why he bought his unit (because of the view, that someone had since obscured with a house). Then he showed us the extra light fittings he had installed. Then he showed us the kitchen bench top that wasn't the one he wanted. You get the picture. Nice guy, very keen.
Anyway, there has been some more progress on the site. Most of it seems to be going on in other people's places - one of them has all the light switches installed, all the tiles, and most of the kitchen - but there has been some in ours as well.
Here are all the cabinets waiting to be installed in the kitchen. I think the big one in the front will be the bench.
There's also waterproofing around the shower and bath in the bathroom. You can also see the vanity unit that will eventually be installed in there as well.
Same goes for the en suite - waterproofing and vanity.
Its kind of interesting seeing how some really small things make the house look finished. The two pictures above show the newly installed cornices in the living room and the gap between the walls and the roof in the kitchen, where they will be installing the kitchen cabinets instead. It's such a small part of the room, but it really makes the living room look more finished compared to the kitchen.
These two pictures are not from our unit - they're from another one in the complex that is a mirror image of ours. I've just included them to show what the kitchen and lounge room will look like when they're a bit further along. You can see the light fixtures as well!
Anyway, new season of ER just started in GO, and you'd better believe I'm watching that shit! George Clooney AND Noah Wiley are back on it!
Very nice, kitchen looks groovy... can that bath fit 2? And how did you get the munchkin over the fence?

Karla - It's going to be rock and roll. We haven't decided if your room will be the one with the view onto the courtyard, or the one with the view onto the park over the road yet.
ReplyDeleteThe other will be the study. I've always wanted a study.
