Getting there

Tuesday 14th Jan

Electrical pretty much done. Some plumbing has been done such as toilets and bath. Intercom system is awesome can't wait to use it. 
Some sinks installed. 
Insulation installed in roof. 
Wall lights looking fantastic and in general happy with the progress the last week. Outside we now have a garage door and Downpipes. 
Front door has been painted and looks good. Theatre has been painted a very dark grey almost black on all walls and ceiling, makes for a stunning look. 

Things doing this week:
Plumbers installing remaining sinks and tapware. 
Electricians fixing a few powerpoints that were at wrong heights and some replacement points where doubles were installed instead of quads. 
Stone bench/waterfall sides on island bench should be installed. 
Plumbers to fix off Downpipes to storm water connection. 
Cabinet doors to be reinstalled in kitchen.
Plasterers to fix square set and thee plastering issues. 
 
We also have an estimated finish date of mid Feb!

Happy new year

No action at all for the last 2 weeks. Pre Xmas list had not been attended to so we are not overly happy. 

Probably no action until 6 Jan, plumbers are apparently booked in to do some plumbing. Can't see the plumbers being able to fit off the bath as the tiling hasn't been completed. 

5 months has passed since the build started, was fast to start with however progress has been very slow recently. 

Quite a few walls and square set cornices are out of square. The front door wall is out at least a 1cm to the eye. Will need to get the CG plasterer and our independent building inspector to have a look at it. Ensuite bathroom tiles have a gap of about 1cm where the bulkhead has bowed. Lots of wavy cornices/walls, square set should be square in our opinion. 

Let's hope for a good start to 2014 for all.
