Tiling started

14/08/2012

Got an update from the SS to say that all fixing is complete. Kitchen and bathroom ceaser stone have been measured and will be installed at a later date. He will notify us when they are installed so we can pickup the off cuts. No guarantee that they might be thrown out so it's our responsibility to pick them up ASAP. 

Tiling will start Thursday so hopefully by the weekend we will see some results. Very anxious to see the tiles since the tile choice was a last minute decision and not our first choice. I mentioned to our SS that we have sorted out the 2.1m tiling with Di Lorenzo so we don't need to meet up with the tiler this week.

Staircase photos. In an earlier post I mentioned that I might need to gyprock the staircase, well it's good to know this is already covered.

Aluminium bifold doors installed. Two reasons we chose aluminium, one it's much cheaper, two no maintenance compared wood.

Portico prepared for tiling, by the way that's the portable generator the contractor is using as there's no electricity onsite.

 Plumbing for the water tank installed

  

 Rainwater do not drink

Damaged water tank, not sure if this will cause integrity issues and if M will replace this. I will have to take this up with the SS.
