Painting is delayed

We met with our SS this week and were informed internal painting has been delayed until after Christmas.

Our SS will return on the 6 January and the painters will start in the New Year and should be finished in time for the plumbing fit on the 20 January.

All that is left to do is:

. painting (internal walls, ceilings, cornices, architraves, front and internal doors, stairs, handrail, change colour of front porch) however plasterers have to come back to fix up their mistakes for a second time.

. plumbing fitout (taps, shower screens, bath, handrails)

. electrical  fit out (airconditioning, alarm, power points, light fittings and switches)

. wardrobe and linen press, pantry fitout

. termite reticulation system (apparently the last stage of this system will not be done until the     landscaping is finished)

. water tank to be moved and slab to be extended to accommodate air-conditioning unit

. bamboo flooring and floor tiles for downstairs area, carpet for upstairs area, final stain of staircase, kitchen mosaic splash back

. driveway

. concrete in garage floor area to be sealed

Cant think of anything else but I am sure I am forgotten something. Would love to be in the house by the end of February but really not sure at this stage.

I don't know how the electrician will install our large light fitting in the central staircase area





Finally - garage doors before Christmas




Downstairs powder room - wasn't expecting wall tiles to be used on hob

Very happy with our kitchen - can't wait to use it - lots of storage and gas cooking and love the feature window
