Update from Friday 2nd May, 2008

We went down to the house yesterday 1 May 08 and the floor tiles were laid but not grouted.

Then again this afternoon for our on-site meeting with our S/S.

It was mainly to check the paintwork again and measure up the windows for the blinds. The paint looks good and we couldn't really see any plaster joins.

This is the Master B/R wall:

All tiles are laid now...Looks pretty good, nice and straight!!

We're very happy with the floor tile and grout colours we selected, but still waiting to see if the matt white 300x100mm wall tiles tie in with the white basins, white benchtops and the stainless steel taps, towel rail and shower screen??? Not sure against the wall colour...hopefully it'll look ok?? We'll find out soon enough!!

Bathroom:

Laundry:

Ensuite:

We are a little disappointed with the garage door colour and profile..... It IS our selection, i suppose, but now seeing the facade colours i am not happy. The garage door is too light and the profile does nothing for the facade. Ian didn't want timber look ("too common"?) and we were told that Jasper was too dark, so we went with Paperbark. But when you put it together with the bricks and the render colour and it stands out too much i think....maybe we should fling some dirt on it and dull it somewhat??? LOL :wink: :wink: I wish it could be more like the render colour.

We've decided that the front door and frame will definitely be 2 pac'd black a.s.a.p. after handover.... The colour consultant wouldn't allow it to be painted black when we asked....so we'll do it afterwards.

So the plan is now:

Monday - Caesarstone being installed and hopefully the electrician will be back.

Tuesday - Tiler returns to finish the spa and bath and grout the shower bases.

Also sometime next week the insulation will be installed.

Yippee, it's all happening!!

Next week will be exciting to see the Caesarstone go in!!!
I want to see my kitchen benchtop *sparkle**
