Wood

Now that some of the floors are finished, doors and other finishing wood can be installed. Basically this means door frames above the parquet floors (still need to be sanded and oiled) and architraves and door frames in the big room where the tiled floor is finished.

The first door to be installed - including the door handle and lock! This leads into the walk-in-robe off the master bedroom.

The end of the parquet floor in the master bedroom at the entrance to the ensuite.

Chris is installing the door frame at the junction of the kitchen and hall.

And a bit later, the first of the two doors is mounted!

Meanwhile, Ryan has been installing architraves and skirting in the big room. The skirting is not very obvious in this photo, but it is there.

Electrical

Hmmm, I doubt this light switch will pass the electrical inspector's checking! As most of the electrical stuff is buried in the walls, it's difficult to show much happening now that it's all covered with gyprock. But Steve was on site, installing fittings etc.

Tiles

The above three photos showing the progress of the floor tiles. The left photo is from bedroom 4 looking west through the lounge room to the master bedroom. The middle photo is of the lounge room floor, while the right most photo is from the master bedroom looking through to bedroom 4.

The big room, with the tiled floor finished with a hard to see grout between the tiles. In part, the tiles and grout are obscured by a layer of dust and/or dried grout. The grout is partly cement based, but using some special liquid to replace the water used in mixing.
