This week saw a little bit of progress with the rest of the cabinets in bathrooms and laundry being installed including all the handles.
Our internal doors were installed this week, no door furniture though. Our smart robe doors have not been touched yet though. Architraves and skirting boards were also installed this week.
We had our onsite meeting with Wisdom Landscapes on Friday, and I think we left there spending more money than we originally thought. We decided we wanted to put a pattern on our driveway now, so we've changed to a Brick Header and the Large Tile at a 45deg angle. We're sticking with the colour bluestone as it goes well with our chosen external tiles.
Also, with our letterbox we had a specifically designed one to comply with the Estate Guidelines, it needs to be rendered yet the price of painting it wasn't included in the original quote - isn't that crazy. We also decided to add our side gates as well, plus temporary wooden stairs for outside the laundry door as we want to level out the ground later when we do the retaining walls.
The meeting went really well, our contact really knew what he was talking about and I got to change a few curves for the driveway - he also said he'll let us know when the formwork is being done and we can bring some rope and outline the driveway ourselves later to make sure we're happy :)
So bombshell - our SS called on Friday as is being moved to a different area - we're almost finished and we've been given a new site supervisor. Fun times.
Well this is the schedule he's given us for the coming weeks:
