My the weeks fly when you're having fun or there isn't much going on! We had quite a lull in building between the painters finishing off and the tiling getting started. But finally in they came and tiling they did!
Starting with waterproofing which made us question our colour design when we saw how amazing chromakey blue looked!
Perfect for the news weatherman in all of us!
Once that had gone off (48 hrs) The tilers came in and we finally got to see if the selections made on a table in a showroom, would work in proper bathrooms and laundries.
And... phew. Big relief! It all looked quite fab! A little hiccup with the wrong grout going in in our ensuite and downstairs powder but easily fixed and finished.
They also got a chance to lay the tiles on the balcony. Front verandah and alfresco will be tiled and finished once heavy trades have finished so nothing gets damaged.
Once the tilers packed up their soupy water buckets, we thought there may be a delay in proceedings but the electricians AND plumbers arrived!!
Oh yes! A bath!
The guys really cracked on and by the end of this week most of the electrical had been completed and the plumbers were well into fit off!
Really exciting that the end is in site. Plumbers should be done this week, as will the electricians. Even a chance that wardrobe fit out may commence this week. Still got a lot to do but it's enough to start the packing at the rental. Hopefully the updates will go back to weekly as we get close to finish!
After the tiles are all in, I’m kind of missing that blue hue! You should definitely do something about getting some of that vibrant colour when the house is ready and you start decorating! It'll be a nice touch for the laundry room I should think! Perhaps adding some blue storage cubbies or something?
