Resolved Brick Issues

Some people have been asking how things have gone with our bricks since our posts with the horrible error in the mortar. PD got a company called Nawkaw in to stain the mortar, its not a perfect job, but its MUCH better.

Bolero Flooring- Rustic Nougat

Well the flooring started... and finished today!!!! and there was a clean up of the house. cant be long now!

Different lighting meant very different colours in the photos

PLUMBING

So at 745 am i got a call from our supervisor, he is very on the ball!!!

He asked if i could meet with the plumbers today to let them know where i/we wanted the taps to go as we now have oval basins, not round.

At ten i went to meet with the plumbers but not before i found my lost car keys (in a shopping bag from last night in the pantry of all places!).

When i got the house the plumbers had already done so much work!!! check it out..

our pretty kitchen :) loving the under cupboard lights!

woohoo! my husband's choice! he wanted one at our last place. Much cheaper to do during the bulid though!

1700mm bath! i thought the cutout was too small, but apparently it fits.

Swing away taps, kinda cool. Didnt realise we would get them! but i do think the taps would have been better on the other end so we didnt have to reach beyond the cabinet

even the kitchen sink!

well Christmas has certainly come and gone, as obviously has the New Year.

We had thought there would be no one working at our house until late Jan, due to their holidays, but the tiler has almost finished- just needing some more grout.

Our brick issue has been attempted to be resolved, i think they used something called Norcorp? not sure. But its a stain that they put over the mortar to match it. Unfortunately I dont think they did the whole wall, as the top half is still different to the bottom half. It is better, I will say that, but not good enough still. The mortar is also still quite blotchy, so hopefully the stain is just drying.

But here's some pics of the tiles!!! SO excited. We've been told it should be ready in about three weeks. Well we assume that's 3 weeks til PCI. So not sure exactly how long it will be.

We also bought a shed! 7m by 4m, so it should be big enough for us, as we are on a 1016m block there is plenty of room for it :) We also started buying our curtains. Spotlight has 30% off so we got one for the theatre room, yup thats right, the room that will need the least amount of privacy gets a curtain before any of the others......
