10.03.13 - Tiling . . . done!!

Went out to the house yesterday (yep its a house now in my mind, not a building site) . . . and the tiler was there finishing off.
Met the Site Supervisor at the house today to go over a few things -

- kitchen, laundry, ensuite, bathroom, powder room cupboards all get fitted in tomorrow
- plasterer back in to finish off tomorrow
- painting of interior starts Wednesday.
- stone bench tops will be measued up this week
- kitchen splashback will also be measured this week

It's going to be a very busy week for the tradies, then for 2 weeks lots of little things happen.

First week of April flooring will be laid . . . then - it will be about 3 weeks before we get the keys!!

Ensuite tiling completed - the entire room is dark brown tiles, but in this pic it looks like 2 different colours (it isn't) when the light hits it. 

Ensuite tiles - they are actually a dark brown (the true colour is nothing like this)

This is better - shows the dark brown tiles 

Bathroom - vanity (true colour)

Bathroom - shower recess (true colour)

Powder room

All cupboards for the tiled areas are being fitted tomorrow . . .  excited - very much!
