Glass balustrade and driveway

Our glass balustrades have been installed upstairs. Downstairs we have the balustrade and glass pool fencing gate. The rest of the pool fencing will be installed once the spa is in place and the decking continued around the spa.

The driveway turned out perfectly. The guys did an awesome job and the curves of the driveway are subtle. A great exposed aggregate mix too. The company is called 1300driveways and I would recommend them in a heartbeat. If you phone them make sure you request for Chris to do your job. They have other concreters (which are probably just as good) but Chris did our job and he was brilliant to deal with.

Today we started securing merbau to the galvanised steel posts under the alfresco/upper deck. In this picture we have clamps temporarily holding the timber in place.

Since. My last blog update we also finally had the drainage run at the front of the garage and front of the house. We also had our downpipes connected. This has made a huge difference to the amount of water entering the subfloor area, and to be honest, I'm not sure why it took them so long to do this.

The concreter (actually, the same guy who did our driveway) is also doing the infill slab for the storeroom. As he is doing that next week we have also asked him to lay the slab for our spa at the same time. This means that the spa slab should be down by 20th June. How exciting!

The caulkers are coming tomorrow to caulk around the tiles, showers, basins etc. I think this will make such a difference and really tidy things up. 

The next two weeks should be a hive of activity with things getting finished outside and inside the house.
