Week ending 23 June..... getting close now

There has been a flurry of activities this week with a number of tradies onsite for their respective work.

First up, the carpets have been installed. We were a bit concerned during the selection process of the colour and thickness, but thank God that it turned out to be what we wanted.

Carpets upstairs

We also wanted to carpet the staircase, here is a picture of the staircase with the underlay which we upgraded during the selection process.

And voila, here is the completed staircase with carpet.

Floorboard installed was next in line to install our UTF floorboard. Our selection of floorboard was the Kempas 3 strip timber floor.

The spa has finally been installed and tiled. However to our dismay one piece of tile is missing and there is a big hole underneath. According to the tiler, this has to be done to allow access for plumber to connect the pipes. Now any normal person would say why didn't the plumber do his job when the tiler was onsite to avoid this awful hole. And I do wonder how this hole will be patched up? For the spa taps, we elected to stick with the standard that PD supply so we can keep cost down.

If you remember from an earlier post about our missing 2nd solar panel, well, the SS has it under control. He has to order the scaffold to be setup again so the installers and put in the 2nd solar panel. Any sane person would think why didn't the solar panel get installed when the scaffolds were still there when bricks were being done? Anyway I'm sure the SS has his own reason.

From the side of the house, the Gas pipe has been dug from the mains and connected ready for the gas meter.

Shower screen fitoff. We elected to stick with what PD supply as standard.

Mirror mirror... who is the fairest of all?

Render done to the front porch. Due to the light and glare, the colour of the render didn't come out too good. Will try to take another set of pictures next time.
