This is my first non-renovation post in months but still construction related. The new building going up next door at work was a magnet for construction geeks this week as a second monster crane was installed. Roads were closed and a staggering amount of yellow framework was carefully lifted and connected.
I haven’t had a chance to get a photo of the finished product but will share when I do.
Electrical bits and bobs are all sorted and progress this week has mainly been on drainage. Not super photogenic and ultimately hidden but important to get right.
Before and after along the back…
and down the side
We are almost there! All the appliances are in, the oven, kitchen sink and dishwasher are all functional, just some electrical bits and bobs, the splash backs and outside plumbing to go.
Most importantly Huia has regained her preferred vantage point so big ticks all round.
This weekend has seen lost of firsts. First shower in my new bathroom, first load of dishes done in a (laundry) sink and first box of things unpacked. Weather permitting it will also see the first load of laundry.
All this means that bathroom and laundry are complete. Oven and sink still need to be finished in the kitchen but cupboards are filling up and it’s nice buttering my toast looking out the new window.
To top things off the old 3 tulip light fitting in the living room has been replaced and I now have arty patterns on the ceiling when the lights are on.
It’s been a big week with lots of progress. Flooring went down on Monday
And by Friday the kitchen looked like this…
Plus the bathroom is all fitted out, not connected up yet but looking great.
A very quiet week on the building front but I know the painters have been in to do some touch ups.
Floor prep has also been done so next week is shaping up to be super busy.
