Bricks are done and tiling is starting!!

This morning we met up with Rick the tiler to check on the tiles before they start the job just to ensure all tiles are correct. We supposed to meet with him on Monday but the tiles didn't get delivered on that day so it got delayed until today. So all the tiles are correct except Rick was given non updated plan and colour selection as we made a couple changes on the variation. So we had to go through with him where each tile goes. We got to say Rick was great. Professional and helpful. He explained to us about the tiling options to assist us making decision how we want the tiles laid. We are pretty glad to have him as our tiler and confident he will do a good job.

Afterwards, we had a quick look around the house before heading to work. We noticed they have fixed the bottom of the plaster niche at the Dining and installed the skirting around but then they DAMAGED the plaster walls corners!! Unbelievable, fix one thing and damage another. Rick the tiler told us not too worry about the damage as before the painting job starts the painter have this laser machine thing to scan the walls for uneven surface and patch it up before painting. So we left it and didn't bring this up with Plantation Homes.

Apart from that, we noticed the followings was completed from past week:

1. Facade completed with ugly bricks for rendering
2. External eaves completed (forgot to take photos)
3. Cedar cladding installed at front porch
4. All internal doors including the pantry installed (except for front entry door)
5. Waterproof around wet area

Soon we will be seeing the followings next on the list:

1. Render the facade
2. Stain cedar cladding, pantry door and bi fold doors to rich chocolate colour
3. Install kitchen cabinets, island bench, laundry cabinet and vanities
4. Install shelves to pantry, WIL, WIR
5. Painting the walls, ceiling and internal doors
6. Install light switches, powerpoints and lights
7. Install ducted air conditioning
8. Install garage door and roller door
9. Install gas bottles

We are pretty much at 80% completion. Just 20% to go hopefully this doesn't take too long.
