Little Progress

Another day without work on the house. Bec did notice a front end loader with sive bucket attached sitting in front of the house early morning. They thought this was for our third site clean however it was gone later but no cleanup had occurred. Strange.
I did get a call from our CC to ask about the cupboard in our vanity which has no shelf. She wanted to confirm that we indeed did not want a shelf in that cupboard. I mentioned that we would be putting a bin in this cupboard which then made sense to her. It is great that she is working hard to ensure that we get the house that we want. So the good news of the day is that the cabinets are being made! Yayyy

Cornices now done

I was a little premature to call the end of cornices. He was back to day to sand the joins and cornices. Took half a day as he was gone by the time I got there at lunch to meet the patio (Perth Patios) guy to go over the quote.
Hopefully the plaster set guys start tomorrow. Also signed off variations #7 and #8.

Ceilings Day 4 - Cornices Finished

They finished the cornices today, well they started installing them and finished them today. They did however do all the prep work last Friday. Looks really good now with cornices. Can't wait for the plaster set. They also swept the floors today so the inside looks really good. It also means the plaster set will have less dirt and dust entrained.

Ceilings Day 2

The ceilings were finished today. No cornices were done however they did do the bulkheads in the kitchen. Notice the butterflies in our living area ceiling.....not sure what they are? Or did we miss that section in the pre-start meeting where they mentioned we would be getting decorative ceilings?
Oh and all the windows have now been put in!

Ceilings Day 1

Wow, ceilings are almost done after one day. I caught them leaving just as I was pulling up just after 5pm. They have done everything except the hallway. linen/broom, bathroom, laundry and WIL. I hope these guys are the same ones that do the cornices because if they do, they will likely finish by tomorrow. Then we will look out for glass!

Mondays

No work today. The is definitely an aversion to working on Mondays (and weekends!). We did get an email from our CC to say that ceilings and cornices will go in this week along with the windows possibly later in the week. There was someone at the site today as the one piece of hardiflex has been lifted up and put on the side of the garage.
