From little things...

House progress is ticking over slowly. Friday saw the electrical rough-in being done (phone, and tv wiring as well). Saturday added the pipes and wiring for the ducted vacuum. Some time during the week the poly-marble shower bases were installed. The enclosures for the cavity sliding doors were installed and the walls were prepared for plaster (shaved and packed). Looking around you don't notice much has happened other than a whole lot of wood shavings on the floor, but there has definitely been progress. I'm still hanging out for the windows to be hung.

Shower bases... We could have had tiled shower bases, but our feet prefer the feel of the old-fashioned polymarble. Hope those woodchips won't block anything up.
One of the inlets for the ducted vacuum. I think the extra noggin I put in for hanging a towel rail might have gotten in the way a little (not that the installer complained).
This is probably one of the lamest pics ever, but it shows the Masonite packing on the frame, and some of the electrical work.
On the left is the cage for the sliding door to our ensuite. Don't worry the pipe doesn't go around the stud, it's just the bit that goes to the shower head.

I agree every builder does things in a different order! Baby steps but will all come together in the end, that's my philosophy anyway!

Nice to see steady progress!
