Kitchen Top installed

A lot has been done since our last visit and we were lucky to be on site the day the kitchen granite top was installed.

On this day (26 April 2013) Jono started boxing up the patio while a bobcat was scraping where the drive is to be laid. Early next week the patio will be poured and later in the week the driveway.  

The electrical is 40% complete with most of the fittings installed.   The central wiring is yet to be started.   By the end of the week we expect most of the wiring will be finished.   Chubb have started the fitout of the alarm system, work on the CCTV has not started and a decision is to be made on the products to instal. 

Later in the day the floors were swept in readiness for carpet.  Carpet will also be installed during the week.  The garage door is also

Outstanding  is:  gas line and meter,  power and telecom cables connected.  Until these are completed the driveway and some concrete cannot be laid.

It is heavy - a 6 man lift

An anxious time was drilling the holes for tap and air switch - now done and looking good

Nice bench

2 Weeks of little progress

After 2 weeks on the job not much seems to have been done.  The door frames and architraves have what seems to be a top coat but not the final coat.  Upstairs and in the bathrooms the walls and ceiling have had what may be a top coat.  It is hard to tell at this stage.  The colour is definitely a blue - possibly more blue than we thought.

Next weekend we visit again and hope to see some real progress.

We counted the number of dents in the roofs.  There are 7, all caused by the scaffolding removers.   An email has gone to Dan although he is aware of the dents and we assume fixing them is in the plan.

The main reason for visiting the site was to review the plan for concrete paving.    This was done and a plan sent to Dan for costing.
