More progress pics...

After a 'not so productive' meeting with the new SS this morning I took the opportunity to take a few measurements so that I can start thinking about (seriously) window coverings, particularly for the bathrooms. I also took the opportunity to take some more pics.

Progress since last visit - Cabinetry is in in kitchen & bathrooms, brickwork is nearly finished, however, they've run out of bricks and expecting another delivery on Monday. This will delay the 'Lock Up' stage for awhile and, as such, it may coincided with the completion of the 'Fixing' stage.

Re kitchen - on top of the cabinets is a 'template' for the ceasarstone benchtops which are expected to be installed in 2 weeks time.

In taking some window measurements it became apparent that a few of the measurements are a bit wonky ie. re the far left window in the master is 29cms from the wall at the top of the window and 31cms from the wall at the bottom of the window. Also noticed that the bathroom windows are about 3-4cms smaller than on the plans. Not sure if this is reasonable or not but may seek some advice on this. I haven't measured all the windows but may be a good idea to do so I think.
(Post dated note: My son checked the window measurements and they are ok. I measured them wrong! I blame it on my cheap & nasty measuring tape!!!!)

It is difficult when the people you have worked with and have been happy with move on. The fact that we don't know our new SS and CLE means that the whole process feels very impersonal now and I definitely feel they don't have our best interests at heart. In saying this, I think we might think about getting an independent inspection now so that we know that everything is ok. It's hard to trust people to do the right thing, particularly if you don't know them or vice versa.

New SS estimates that hand over is about 8 weeks away. That is a few weeks better than the last estimate!

Anyway, progress pics from today.
