It will probably be a few more days before I can walk on it but it's just nice seeing the house finally take shape.
In other news, I discovered very recently that Metricon have started to include the option of staining a wooden staircase. This was previously not an option. Apparently it was only introduced in Dec last year so not many people know about it yet. Luckily we were able to get a variation included (without the usual margin markup for variations as this was not available when we were doing our selections). This will be one less thing for us to worry about after hand over.
I brought in a sample of our floorboards (bottom sample) to see how it would go with the stain colour we chose (top sample).
The side of the house where the water tank and hot water system sits has also been concreted so we have a nice clean walkway with no weeds.
I discovered the wonders of the Mark Tuckey store in Fitzroy (Melb) on Saturday and ended up putting in an order for a dining table, benches, and stools similar to this setup. The tabletop is a slightly different colour (American Oak), and the benches will have black legs whilst the table will have yellow legs.
And now we wait...
