I had a chance to talk with our supervisor that day. Our independent tiler was also on-site to measure up the ground floor. All up, it was 101 sqm of tiles needed for the internal ground floor, and 7 sqm for the porch.

Driveway
One early morning in week 31, caught the guys working on the driveway.
I had a chance to talk with our supervisor that day. Our independent tiler was also on-site to measure up the ground floor. All up, it was 101 sqm of tiles needed for the internal ground floor, and 7 sqm for the porch.

Weeks 29 and 30
For more than 2 weeks, we haven't tracked the progress of our build in detail. The progress wasn't that bad. Happy to see the kitchen to take shape. Smartstone benchtops were installed on the island and backbenches. We would need install a glass splashback for the returns on the backbench though.
The wet areas were also done. All vanities and tapwares were installed. However, finishing touches for the grouting were left to be done.
Most of the electricals were completed. Things left to do were the downlights, video intercom and aircon unit installations. Alarm, exterior powerpoints and wall lights were installed. Circuit breakers for the meter box were also completed.
Great to see that my NBN was all done, with wall plates nicely placed in the walk-in robe - NBN connection box (bottom unit) and NBN Power supply with Battery backup (top unit). My router will sit on top of the wardrobe cabinet and will provide connections to the wall plates. Connections in the wall plates feed the rooms with ethernet connections. We didn't need the Smart Hub that builders install in the garage.... and sell for a hefty $600 (or even more). Now, I am just waiting for the NBN provider to install the utility box outside of the house.
Junction boxes on the exterior wall installed. I'll be installing a couple of bunker and flood lights after handover. Watertank installed, with an ugly color. Termite protection barrier also installed, later to be fill-up up with chemicals.

Dimmer switches were installed on the correct locations. Smoke detectors and automatic garage door installed. Hopefully, all these things work when powered up.

Build Updates
It's been a while since the last post. We were on a holiday and loved every single day of it. While we were away, the progress of our build went smoothly. I'll give updates on my next post. In the meantime, here are some of our holiday photos.
