Scaffold down and bricks cleaned

Here are the lights we have chosen for the walls outside the doors.   We've got 6 of them.  They ended up being an unexpected bargain from Bunnings.  They were on display as $56 each, so we were expecting to be out of pocket over $300, but when I got to the checkout, they had been marked down on special at only $24 each, so less than half price.  Brilliant!

Neil's holding one against the wall here, so we can show the electrician how high up we want them.   Need to remember that there will be 100mm of concrete for the verandah floor to be poured yet.

The pantry shelves are in.  This gives us more than double the pantry shelf area of the current kitchen.  That's without including the shelves on the left.  The shelves on the right are about 3 metres long and set at heights of 40cm intervals.  The vertical support in the second picture is about halfway along the shelves.  Can't show them properly because the entrance to the pantry is beside the fridge alcove; the pantry goes in around behind the fridge, but take my word for it, they look great.
We will need a ladder to get to the top ones.  I want to get one that slides along a fixed rail.  They are called library ladders.  That will have to wait though.
The bottom 2 shelves are 45cm deep, for larger trays and appliances.  The upper shelves are all 30cm deep.  These are the perfect depth for my Tupperware modular mates super ovals, rectangles and veg outs.
On the left, the bottom shelf is 1 metre above the floor and there is a double power point on the wall, so it can be used as a mini work bench.  We've also put an exhaust fan in the pantry ceiling, so we can have things on the go in here, out of the way.  Originally, it was going to be the full on butler's pantry with it's own sink in the left corner, but we ended up deciding that a sink would take up too much of the bench space.  I'm sure we'll survive.
Looking at the first picture, I think we could also put shelves on the end wall to connect up the top 3 on both sides.  If we ever were to run out of space.

The stairs are in.  There's a sheet of masonite on each tread to protect them while the painting is being done.  These will be stained to match the bamboo flooring that we're having downstairs.

The last of the verandah frame looks to be finished and the guttering is on.  The roof tilers will need to come back to finish that off next.  Neil still thinks that the point on the roof needs something to finish it off properly.  Google, here I come.  If you look closely, you might be able to see that the balcony doors are the right ones now with the micro venetian blinds in them.

The scaffold is down now so there wont be much left to add to this photo for this side of the house to be finished.  We'll need the verandah roof finished off, verandah floor concrete poured, that's not the final door yet, downstairs window frames still need to be stained and sealed, a spotlight will be installed on the right corner of the building, the hot water service will be installed on the right end outside the ensuite and an outside tap will be attached under the toilet window.  OK, so a few things still left to do, but it wont look that much different to this.  And if I find something groovy to add to the roof point....
