End of March... on the final stretch.

March has been a busy month, yet from the surface it may seem that not much has been done.

Our painting was finished (which I have noticed a few small defects that will need to be fixed) and overall we are very happy with it. It is a strange colour though, as in some lights it looks nearly yellow, mostly it looks creamy-brown, and late evening it seems to look pink!

The doors have been installed, including our Sikkens stained feature doors.


The garage door has been installed, although there is a large dent in the door on the inside that will need to be fixed!

The heating and evaporative cooling ducts/outlets have been installed into the ceiling, and the electrician will hook it up when he comes - hopefully this week.

The tiles have been laid, and what was supposed to be a 3-4 day job has now dragged out to be 6 working days with another 2 public holidays (Easter) + 2 weekends - so 10 days. The final grouting will be done today and then that will be finished.

The following photos have been enhanced as it was getting dark when they were taken:

Electrician is yet to come to hook everything up and install all the light fittings and powerpoints.

The glass splashback is ready to be installed at some stage.

Our site supervisor has said that clean up should happen next week, with inspections to follow that.


We were told that we WOULD be in before the middle of April, although it seems doubtful at this stage - but if everything goes smoothly it could? We should be in by the end of April... BETTER BE!!!


It just seems like the time is dragging - maybe because it is so close to being finished.
