Gas Cupboard

Gas Cupboard On its plinth in the courtyard side of the house. We will paint this to blend in with the walls. We should be able to store a few 118KG gas cylinders.

Bathroom

The bathroom has been tiled. You can see the shower portion at the end complete with bench. Today we are installing the bathroom fittings.

Laundry enclosure. Washing machine underneath and spin dryer on top with space for a few Pullouts

Vanity unit 1200 mm with two basins.

Tiling complete, Grouting complete. The Pivot door and sliding doors go in next.

Gas standby water heater - Installed

This handy little gas heater sits between the solar geyser and roof mounted hot water tank. Its function is to heat the water is it passes through but only when the water is less than 65 degrees centigrade. Which hopefully will happen very infrequently.

Friday 12th September

Late afternoon Friday 12th September.
There has been lots of activity at the Fossil Pad and the cottage should be ready for occupation by the end of the month.
However we are going to spend an extra two weeks rectifying any imperfections. Commonly called "snagging".

The exterior has been painted completely (except for a few reveals)

The steps from the future patio leading up to the Great room









The battery / Gizmo Room

  Control units against back wall and 12 deep cycle batteries. The Photovoltaic panels have all been mounted on the roof.

The kitchen  waiting for its granite counter tops and back splash

The kitchen island is under the soft board.

The picture below gives you some idea of the Great room's size.

Steady Progess on several fronts

Windows and door installed on South side.

Looking at the pictures not too much appears to have been accomplished. Everything looks to be in a half state of completion because we are working towards completion of several tasks simultaneously.

Bedroom Full Height Windows - North Wall

The windows and doors have started to arrive  and as each batch arrives the units are immediately fitted and plastered into their openings.

Dry Wall Partition

We have erected a drywall partition between the great room and the living area as dictated by SWMBO and this is in the process of being skimmed and painted. Large areas of the inside walls have been painted with plaster coat.







Tiling the floors is well underway. About 120 square metres of tiles need to be laid. The gas stove and extractor fan have arrived and are stacked against a half high wall that will form the spline of the kitchen Island

And we are plastering the ceilings in the one section of the house.
