Week 24 Finished Deck & More Touchups

Week Twenty Four 18 - 22 Mar 

 
Day 115 - 119.  More touchups and finishing off this week.  The handles have been fitted to the front door.

The feature colour is bieng painted around the top of the kitchen area and the pantry shelves have been installed above the bench.  At the moment I have just put the shelving in the nook created by the linen cupboard on the other side of the wall.  At the moment the freezer will be in there too but eventually if we get a wide fridge that is fridge and freezer in one I will extend the bench and shelves around the corner which is behind the range hood area.




















The deck is now finished and all grouted.  I like the way they bought the tiles up under the cladding as can be seen in the LH picture below.  My SS told me that is they can ensure the deck is waterproof otherwise water can get in between the deck and cladding and drip through underneath.  The RH image shows the view off the back of the deck and I am really pleased with how unobtusive the framework around the glass is.



Under the stairs where they put the new piece of wall in to block the stairwell off from the garage has been finished and I love the way we have this great usable space under the stairs.

We also told the builder that anything that was usable  we wanted to keep so down here we have a couple of windows a spare door, a heap of skirting board and some shelving.  This stuff will be useful for future repairs and also for when we build in the cavity under the stairs.


The last thing that happened this week was the flooring being delivered.  It is due to be laid next week.
