Tiling has commenced, only to then be put on hold due to a plumbing issue. We noticed that the water inlet in our ensuite is incorrect for our raindrop shower and it turns out that all of our special order items weren't on the plumbing plan and possibly have not been ordered. I sent a whole lot of plumbing specifications to our SS and the plumber is opening the shower wall back up on Monday to fix the problem. I'm not sure that anyone pays much attention to the colours documents. I'm just so glad we picked up the issue before tiling was on the walls.
I think tiling will be done by mid way through next week and then we continue the wait for our kitchen. The fireplace supplier have been keen to get started but usually fireplaces are done towards the end of the internal fit out.
We have lost a bit of the excitement from our build at the moment, it really has been an up hill battle these last few weeks. We are feeling a bit under pressure as our current unit is for sale and we really don't want to end up relying on relatives (and putting everything into storage) if the house is delayed. Fingers crossed things will be back on track soon!

Ensuite (tiles look brown here but they are actually charcoal).
Living area with architraves painted (final wall coat still to follow).
Our amazing Lin one doors with their first coat of stain.

ReplyDeleteHi Ann! Thanks so much for your kind words and for visiting the blog. Our painting has been done in a really strange sequence and I think Greg our painter is resigned to his work being damaged (seems like a backwards way to do things to me). I totally agree - I'm ready to be finished with the stress of building now haha!
DeleteI've had a peek at your blog and your place is looking fabulous! I'm always excited to find another blog to snoop at ;)
oh mel, thank goodness for some progress finally! this has been a slow, painful week for you both :( tiles look really good though and will look even better with some grout! haha those pesky colour sheets - i think they're just there for show hahaha it's a relief you picked up on that plumbing error now though. super jealous of those glorious Lin One doors, mmmmmm
ReplyDeleteThanks Merryn, I was soooo glad to see those tiles down. I'm hanging to see the wall tiles go on as well as the stacked stone. I'm hoping there might be a little stacked stone left use in our letterbox design. Have you organized a letter box yet? I don't even know where to start with that one! I kept wanting to stroke the Lin one doors, can't believe how different clear stain makes them look :)
