Polished timber and driveway aggregate selection

Today we were able to go inside the house again since the timber floors were sanded and lacquered. The timber looks so much better as there is more contrast and definition in the timber now that it's lacquered. There is still one more sand and lacquer to be done but this will be done at the very end. The final lacquer will finish it off perfectly.

Now for some pictures... 

We visited a factory in Hallam and purchased a whole heap of these magnetic door stops. We seem to have great cross breezes through the house which causes the doors to slam so we thought magnetic door stops would be the way to go. These ones will match our Gainsborough Lianna door handles quite nicely.

We also took the opportunity today to visit Mentone Premix, on advice from our concreter, to pick the aggregate mix for our driveway. We ending up choosing a mix called Third 5%. It's a lighter colour with earthy tones and specks of black throughout.

A site clean was happening today so the front and back looks much better. Now that the front has been cleared the plumber can install the drainage and agi pipes to the front of the house. Fingers crossed this is finished soon as our driveway is booked in for Monday 26th May and we don't want to have to reschedule him again.
