Almost done..

As we're nearing the end, I had word from the SS that the hand over date will be Friday the 11th May woohoo

With only a few more things to be done...the fiddley bits, we are almost at completion and following my calendar, it'll be 40 weeks of construction

We are extremely happy with the quality of the build and lucky for us, if something needed fixing or replacing, they did it straight away which is sooooo much better than waiting to do it at the last minute and possibly holding off on the hand over!

The electrician will start with the fitting of the lights and all the switches and GPO's (power points) on Monday so that he isn't going to be in the way of the flooring going down on Tuesday. Then he'll probably continue the following couple of days upstairs so the guys can continue the flooring downstairs so they can finish up on Thursday

Then once the flooring is in, the chippies can come back and put the skirting back on so the painters can finish off with both that and the final bits of moulding

It looked like they had been back to do another coat of paint in the theatre room...woohoo now I don't have too :)
They gave the front doors their final coat too and they look amazing. The kitchen guy has been back too 'cos I noticed my glass doors were back on again and with the glass inserts!

The shower screens are in along with the mirrors....now this is a sore subject at the moment! As soon as I seen the mirrors I thought "What tha" they're way too small and certainly not the size I asked for! So we are getting them replaced quick sticks!

We both agreed that the shower screen in  the main bathroom is way too big and will need cutting back. When we measured it off with the SS, the bath wasn't in so we went gun ho on what the size should be and of course didn't even consider how much it would interfere with the walk way past the bath. So a big mistake on all accounts

Can't wait until they clean up and take those awful stickers off the windows

In love with the colour 'Domino'

Hoping the colour of the handrail (Black Japan) won't be too dark for the flooring and will be a nice contrast

Love looking down from the stairs and can't wait for the iron work to go on the cellar door

the mirror and glass shelf has been installed

the chippie has come back to finish off the rest of the moulding

Painters have put a 3rd coat on

Last shelf installed

Glass doors back on 

This is where the TV was going but we changed our mind and put it on the left wall instead. I'll get Ben (no 1 son) to put a floating shelf here

See what I mean about the mirror being way too small

Main Bathroom

Shower screen way too big :( if  we could've moved the bath further down the other end, it would be fine, but too late now!
