February and March 2010 updates

The paint has been sitting around so long (wall colour paint) that it required a lot of mixing. It's pretty though!

This was the Satin paint we used for wet areas so it's a little bit glossy too...

The first door which was painted and hung back on is the storage room door. Too bad the inside of that room will be one of the last to be done (if at all... I did start painting undercoat in there so it will have to be finished at some stage)
The kitchen is looking pretty good. We just now need to hook up the gas and buy a microwave for completion! The tiles make a big difference.
The stairs have been a huge effort to get to this state. We must have spent near $500 just in different wooden finishing 'stuff' (paint, stains, varnishes etc)
Toilet is now done :) and the loo is pretty comfy if you want to come up and try it out.

Easter is a mere couple of days away now so no way are we going to be able to go up and relax! On the agenda this long weekend is lots of painting. The goal is to finish all the (wall) colour painting!

In terms of what we (and the builder) have completed in the last two months:

Finished tiling

Finished kitchen

Water tank overflow pipes fitted

Outdoor stairs stained

Stairs (inside) stained (and resanded and stained again... )

Undercoat completed

Started to paint the colour on doors, skirts and walls.

Completed rooms (ie ceiling done, floors completed, windows painted, walls painted and doors painted and hung):

- toilet (although I think I detected some faintness in the paint above the door...)

- laundry

- kitchen (except for the floors)

Progress photos for Feb and March will be posted once I work out where they all are!
