Sooo…it has been a while. Mainly as we haven’t had much to report, our Site Supervisor (SS) got moved to other jobs as another SS resigned. Essentially this meant that not a lot got done for about four – five weeks. Very frustrating and stressful but after awhile we realised that there is not a lot we could do. We do have a new SS now though so I am really hoping the ball starts rolling again and picks up speed as it goes!
Since the last post, the bricks were finished, and the eaves were installed. The infill above the pillars isn’t yet done (no idea why). The bricks haven’t yet been cleaned so the pic isn’t great but you get the idea.
During the bricking stage the architraves and skirting were all done and the doors hung. In the last week or so the mirrored sliding door for our walk in robe was installed (and looks great). The kitchen skylight is in and the cabinetry has been installed. Really happy with our chosen laminate for the bathrooms and laundry, it was hard to imagine from the small samples.
So technically we are in the final stages, but there is still a fair bit to do…. the infill above the pillars, brick cleaning, downpipes, garage door, all painting inside and out, flooring (tiles and carpets), tiling of bathrooms, shower installs, wardrobe door installs (3 bedrooms), electrical finish – power points and basic lighting, plumbing finish – taps etc…. the list is probably much longer than that, it is just what I can think of!
Cross your fingers for us it happens quickly please!
