So the staircase (which we had been told wasn't going to be put in until near the end to avoid damage) has had its form work come off. Luckily my husband went out one work day arvo to have a sneak peak and got a picture of it in all its glory because by the time I got out on the weekend they had covered it in scaffolding. So sad, but at least I have pictures. Isn't it a stunner! It may look small in the photo's but it is larger then the average staircase.
Eventually we will get a carpenter to put a few draws at the base of the stairs for shoes and the rest of the underneath of the stairs will be turned into something cool like an indoor garden. We have even got a powerpoint going in under the stairs.
This is a picture of what the the stairs will look like as you walk down. My husband found the picture on the ground. You can see the big window that will be in front of the stairs.
The top story brick work has started with both side walls completed. We have found our first few errors. We were more concerned with the size of the windows on the outside and location in the room that we never checked the size of the windows or heights off of the ground for the upstairs very well. Its all stuff I can live with but I wish the master bedroom front windows were higher, the main bedroom side window was bigger, my bath window was bigger and the windows in the front bedroom were the same size and height off the ground. We were so busy fixing Ventura's constant mistakes that something was bound to be missed.
The photo above shows the low front windows and tiny side window in the master bedroom.
The window second to the right is my bath window- if it were lower I would get a better view.
