Door fixtures

Hoo rayyy we had someone turn up on Friday. They installed the doors that we removed for the tiling. We have never seen the doors in the laundry or toilets so it is good to see them. Looks finished now. Especially as he also put the door handles on the doors - front door included. He also did the weather seals for the front and garage doors.

We need to check that the deadlock is a single cylinder as he has made some mistakes. The garage door should be a different handle (he has installed an interior door handle). However we are OK with this so will ask the builder not to change it.

The other mistake is that towel rings have been installed in the ensuite and powder rooms when they should have installed hand towel rails. Will do a thorough check tomorrow.

No work this week.....yet!

Well 3 days of the new working year and not a single tradesman to be seen. So no work to report. Just a couple of bikes rode around the house today though. Thankfully no damage so it might have been the neighbours who are keen bike riders.

So to keep things ticking over, we have put contracts out for the side fence. We have gone with Jim's Fencing - bet you didn't know the franchise has reached this far! We have also signed the contract for the floorboards. We are going with Karri boards (85x12) and Jarrah skirting. The patio is coming along great. They have now started the fabrication - we know this because they have asked for the second payment!

Fingers crossed for some tradesman tomorrow.
