Carpenters finished up this week, all the cupboards now have shelves, the soffits are finished, skirting and architraves are finished, and the skip out the front was emptied (although its now full again!), and we have a garage door.
On Friday we had the tiler and unit fitters in, and we now have installed kitchen and bathroom units, the tiler should be working through till Wednesday, and after that we are expecting the painter
With the tiler it has once again proven that it pays to be sure of what's in your contracts, as the guy offered to tile splash backs for us at a small extra cost, since we were fairly sure they were an included item in the contracts (which they are), we politely declined to pay the extra, and advised him to discuss the extra costs with Coral Homes site supervisor... not sure how that conversation went, but we got the call confirming he was installing splash backs later in the day.
As our neighbors started frame construction on their lot, we quickly realized that they were building a two story house, this initially raised a little concert that we could find the solar system could get overshadowed, fortunately they were not building a full twin story property, and have biased the second story away from our lot.
Hopefully this time next week we will be talking completion dates, the most optimistic schedule we were given was 11 weeks, and we are still 3 weeks away from that, but there is still a lot to do
- Wet area tiling
- Painting
- Floor tiling
- Electrical finishing
- Plumbing installation
- Kitchen completion
- Air con completion
- Solar completion
- Door locks
- Storage cupboard doors
- Rain water down pipes
- Fly Screen installation
- Carpeting
- Fix broken windows
