No pictures this week, come to the conclusion there is rather little interesting in pictures of drying paint and power points.
Looking back at my finishing task list there are quite a few items ticked off now
Additional Builder tasks
Third party contractor tasks
All interior and exterior painting is now complete, however, whilst the painters were on site someone removed my folding ladder from the garage, and I'm really unhappy about that, I'm hoping its just a case that their overenthusiastic apprentice slung in in the back of the ute when tidying up, but if its not returned soon Ill have to conclude its been stolen!
Once the painters had done the electricians completed all the electrical work, but the went and installed the pantry light switch in a really dumb place (at the back of a shelf!), so wenow have lights ceiling fans aned everything else, The plasterers really didn't make themselves popular with the electricians by misaligning a load of holes that were supposed to indicate where the socket fixing points were supposed to go.
Also had a visit from the plumbers this week, and now have toilets and showers installed.
On Friday we had the solar installer come in and install the inverter, so we now have a complete and functioning PV solar system.
This weekend I went in and completed the CAT 6 and sound system installation, I had initially intended to wait until handover, but the problem with the plaster installation meant that much of the cabling in the wall was in the way of installing the phone and primary internet data point.
Next week we have the tiler returning, hopefully this will mean we will have the worktops installed prior to this so he can also complete all the splash-backs
Our Site supervisors most optimistic completion date of 11 weeks passed this Friday, and I've been trying to get him to nail down an actual completion date, something hes evidently reluctant to do, but he has suggested maybe first week of October..... we were really hoping no later that end of September!
So all in all a busy week, Ill sort out some pictures next week when there is something worth taking pictures of.
