The Mud Files

We are getting a little bit ridiculous as the build gets closer to d-day, as we visit most days (sometimes twice between us) only to be frustrated because, of course, we are locked out. We were lucky enough to find a tradie on site today and could get in to take more pics.
Oh joy, to see all our walls, skirting boards and cabinetry covered in dust, grout, broken tiles, tile cement and best of all MUD!!! Absolutely everywhere even where you wouldn't think you could get mud. We took some photos anyway and hope it gives the impression of what the home will be like.

Below: An area that is not muddied, knocked, or scraped.....yet. (Upstairs bedroom)


The family room - note the windows adjacent to the sliding doors are now painted! ?Why? - these should be timber to match the sliding door - "as displayed". Bit concerning.
Below is the son's ensuite again with the decor tiles installed, plus shower base, floor tiles and toilet. Plumbing commenced this week as did electricals.


Upstairs throne room.

Downstairs powder room.

Our ensuite - tiles, tiles everywhere!!



Upstairs main bathroom plumbing and tiles.



Entry with tile inlay. Hmm, can't get the effect we were hoping for with mud and dust everywhere and a raw staircase. This large blank wall below will have a 180cm credenza and gold edged mirror. We are also thinking of a wingback chair. All the entry walls will be painted in a silk effects feature colour in a darker shade than this. The room is considerably larger than it needs to be so, overall, the decor can cope with darker walls. I will be painting all the feature walls myself.
(Sunday - Just noticed that there is a baluster missing from the staircase and the ribbon balusters have been moved. I am guessing that this is because they are replacing with another ribbon. That would explain why the stairs have not yet been painted!)


Some of the latest outdoor shots.
