There really is so much to do to make a house a home. Every day I try to get 1 thing done and I feel like I am getting closer to my dream, but still a long way to go.
Unpacking is a timely process. To anyone building a house, the main advise is remember LOTS of cupboards - storage, storage, storage! Granted I have heaps of stuff, but unless I want most of my stuff to be packed in the garage, I need to buy extra shelving etc to accommodate everything. One of my upgrades was to double the Linen cupboard - one of the best investments, especially as it isn't very deep, so its good to have the double length. I would also recommend getting a second shelf for all robes (including any walk in) because there is a wasted space to the ceiling which could be utilised.
The main living areas are looking organised, but still lots to do to get them perfect - waiting on wallpaper & installation of better lighting fixtures. Driveway is almost done. Have had some problems trying to seal it correctly with all the rain we have had. Decking being done this weekend - this will be a God sent because of the mess all this clay is creating!!
Here are a couple of pics of the interior:

Very nice Paul. But beware I have worked on these houses with my interior designer partner. You don't want it to look like a display home. That said I do love it. I am very pleased for you being a home owner and such a lovely home too.
