Lights and floorboards

Our entrance hall light, needs to be a little lower we think.

Our front door. The panels will all be filled with a patterned glass.

At last, stairs from the dining room down to our loungeroom. No more worrying about slipping down a plank!

Our magnificent cornice all painted up. We are so happy with our choice to go for the big stuff!

The Rumpus Room.

Looking into the Dining Room from the Kitchen. These pendants will hang over our dining table.

My cafe area. You can see the edge of the kitchen bulk head with it's downlights in!

Things are going well. Painting is all done, floorboards have started. The power got connected today which was great. We were told we might have a delay due to all the work that needs doing in the fire areas. So now we have light switches and power points that work!!
Plumbing is going well, one toilet at least will go in on Monday and the water and sewerage will all be connected. We just need to raise one of our tanks a bit and get them filled with some more water. Now we have power, we can connect the pump up properly too.
So, by early next week we will have the basics of a functioning house! True, I don't have a kitchen yet and the stairs to upstairs aren't done. Still, we can move up there into our caravan and survive quite well for a few weeks.
For anyone who is worried about our insurance situation, we have informed out Construction Insurers of our plans to live in the caravan and use a bathroom and the laundry. They are fine with that and we will still be insured. Once we have our Occupancy Certificate, we will then get ordinary Home Insurance. I have had a few friends mention that we need to be careful and that is true. Making sure we are insured properly over the transition period is important. With our Contents Insurance, we have advised them that we are moving and they give us a two week cross over period where things are insured at both addresses. As long as the new house is lockable (which it is now), we are fine. Just something to think about if ever you build you own home!!! Cya.
