15.11.2013 Internal Update

As I wrote in my last post that tiling was completed and painting had started. I went for a visit to the house today and met up with our site supervisor. I was really happy with the tiling job and it looks great. The vanities have also been installed and they blend in well with the tiles. The ensuite and the second bathroom have had the Caesarstone bench top installed. We went with Atlantic Salt and it looks good.

I was most anxious to see our kitchen bench tops. The guys were in the final process of getting the bench installed.

 OMG ….it looks great. The kitchen has come alive. Believe me the picture do not do justice but it looks great. The kitchen bench is Caesarstone Osprey and will look great when all our light fixtures and downlights are installed.

I was also surprised to see that the entire house had its first coat of paint completed already. Our internal wall colour is Taubmans Phantom Dream and that too looks good. The supervisor was going through his checks and marking walls and areas that needed fixing. He will be getting the gyprock guys to come fix the plastering and other bits and pieces before the final coat.

I spoke to him about the handover and he reckons he will be in better shape to tell me by the end of November. He is pushing for before Christmas handover which was great to hear. Fingers cross we might be lucky…..

15.11.2013 Tiling Complete

I have been so busy at work off late that I never got a chance to update the blog.

So the news is that our tiling got completed on Monday and and the painters were in on Tuesday. I am yet to see the final result. I hope it all looks good. I am guessing kitchen should have also been completed. Cant wait to see the finished product with 40mm ceaserstone bench.

I thought we were on track for handover before Christmas but there is only a slim chance of us getting a handover. Our bank sent us a letter stating that if our handover is before Christmas they need to have the final invoice sent to them by 6th December. I spoke to our CLO who upon confirming with the supervisor told me that our handover will most probably be after Christmas as there is only a slim possibility of completion before Christmas.

I am really annoyed now with MJH. We had planned everything around handover before Christmas. Oh well gives us few extra weeks to save some  extra cash!!!
