Water Tank


The 2,000 litre water tank
has been delivered to site.


Electrician has fitted of the fans and the remaining feature light fittings. While we have aimed for a contemporary look for the new spaces in the house, we have tried to reflect the style of the original 1860's cottage in the front bedroom.

The second skylight to the ensuite has been installed and makes a significant difference to the natural lighting level in this otherwise internal space.

There is still a lot of work to be done over the next 3 weeks. Main trades or activities affecting completion are tiling, the sanitary plumbing fitoff and service connections, the hydronic heating fitoff, roof plumbing and storm water connection, kitchen appliance fitoff, floor finishes, external works to the rear and final painting. Went through each element and trade with the builder to make sure that the sequence of work is realistic and achievable. This process highlighted a number of potential problems and together we have developed contingent plans should these problems occur.
