The rest of the joinery has finally arrived. Units are being installed in the lounge, front ground floor bedroom, upstairs bedrooms and ensuite. The shell is beginning to look complete.

Wall units to Lounge

The electrician and plumber continue to fit off the Blanco kitchen appliances. The wrong range hood was delivered and it has been sent back - awaiting correct model.


Fixed kitchen appliances

The builder has still not been given a firm date as to when the glass balustrades will be delivered. In the interim, considering the amount of finishing tradesmen traffic moving up and down the stairs, he has installed a temporary timber screen to provide protection.


Temporary balustrade

Tiling in bathroom is now complete, except for a shortfall of about 4 floor tiles. These should be picked up tomorrow allowing the tiler to complete the inside tiling. There is still a quite a bit of tiling to be done externally in the rear yard.


Bathroom wall tiling

All tapware and sanitaryware has been installed and connected with the exception of the toilet in the main bathroom. Need to discuss what is holding this up with both the plumber and builder.

External balustrade to the double doors in the rear bedroom have been fixed. While Planning restrictions, particularly in regards to overlooking, prevented the inclusion of a balcony, the double 'French' doors still give a feeling of space more than smaller ordinary windows would.
