The end is in sight

With the front baseboards on, and some drainage placed in the ground, the big dip at the front of the house is beginning to be filled in; Oscar’s pile of dirt in the driveway is dwindling in size.  The baseboards are now on all the way around the house.  The electricity has been installed (finally!) and we have a target date of the end of the August for handover.

Electrical Fittings

The pace has not slowed down this week. It is only Monday and we have had to choose the cornices and electrical switches and power points for the period areas (living area, kitchen, hallway, master bedroom, ensuite and entrance way).

The electrical fittings have been chosen from Traditional Switch Co.:

  • Federation Chrome Plate series with white insert
  • Classic Profile Switch Blocks with Cedar stain
