Handover and Almost In !


Bamboo flooring begins in the meals area.

Bamboo floor in meals area completed.
Underlay for carpet to the right of photo.

Driveway formwork and base in preparation
for concrete pour.

Kitchen with bamboo floor. We love it,
it has come up really well.

Carpet in study. Not a great photo for
true colour. 'Eureka' is a purple/brown colour or
aubergine. We love this also. So far we have been
so pleased with how our flooring choices have come
together.

Driveway up close, exposed aggregate.

An almost full view of the driveway.
It is very new and still has a bit of finishing
off to go.

A shot of the bamboo floor, looking towards
the front door.

What a beautiful blue sky! The driveway again,
the next day.

A shot from the top of the stairs, with
carpet and bamboo floor in view.

Looking down stairs from the top.

Looking up the stairs from the bottom,
just in case you couldn't work that out.

Well there it is! Handover went very well.
Most of the post handover stuff has been completed. Not bad considering we only had handover on the 10th of August.
Last week was full on!
Handover Monday, bamboo floor Tuesday, Wednesday, Carpet Thursday, Friday and then finished Tuesday just gone. Concreting was also done on Thursday and finished Tuesday.
Now all we need to do is move! This should happen in the very near future. Not looking forward to packing/unpacking but can't wait to get into the garden.
I am hoping to keep posting on any progress but this may take a while, things will probably move a bit slower now.
Relle.

  1. Guys, the place is looking really good. Like the flooring and carpet. Claire especially likes the wider cupboards in the kitchen that we missed out on. Driveway looks great too. Good luck with the handover. R&C

  2. Congrats, Relle! The house is looking great with your gorgeous bamboo flooring and carpet. Love the look of the exposed aggregate and we'll be getting that too for our driveway. All the best for the moving in and look forward to more posts once settled in. M&J

  4. Thanks R and C, M and J and K of K and T. Overall we're really happy with everything. I would make some changes if we had our time again but nothing major.
    There is such a sense of achievement once it is all finished. We are looking forward to spending many happy years in our new home.
