Finishing 4

The solar hot water service has finally been installed on the roof and the system connected. While it is easy to overlook as it is usually neither a main building or design element, it is imperative to check whether Planning permission is required for the installation of the roof mounted panels right from the start of a project. In our case the solar panels formed an integral part of our design and as such were included within the original Planning approval.

Tiler has finished the mosaic splashback to the laundry bench. Tapware and shelf can now be added.

Rear facade work is almost complete: the rain waterhead and powder coated aluminium panelling has been fixed and is waiting for the fixing bond to cure before removing the supporting tape.

Final kitchen benchtops have been promised for delivery by early next week. Once installed all other trades can finally finish off.
