Quick Update - Finishing Touches

Just a quick update, the build is pretty much over, just some finishing touches to be completed. Homeworld has finished their part, I've been very impressed with their work. Slow to start, but once building, it's been a very quick and well organised process.  

Now I just need to get my jobs completed.

There are two big projects to be done before the council comes around to do the final inspection, we need to build the pond for the fire fighting water, and fence off, mulch, and plant out the septic field. That's a big job. I might need to ask for some more time off work to get that done.



The kitchen requires some grouting to be done, and more top coats on the wooden bench top. Sand, stain, sand, stain, so far above is 3 coats, I think I should do about 5?


We're waiting for the above to be finished. The installer said something about ordering some flashing, oh, and we need to sort out the firewood... it's still sitting at the bottom of the hill, and it needs to carted up.
 

Above, the carpet is in, and below the bathroom is finished. We can now shower, there is water in the tank, the pump is connected, the hot water cylinder is on... the shower has plenty of pressure! I can't wait to soak in the bath.
  

As cute as they are... fencing is required to keep the sheep out of the garden.
One idea I'm am thinking about, is to fence up to the side of the house, and leave the deck open leading out into the paddock, kinda nice to have the sheep come up to the deck... what do you think? Or fence to keep the entire house out of the paddock.



Update: The log burner is now completed:



And Our First Fire! AWESOME!
