Tiling

It's been nearly a month since my last update and that's because after the absolute flurry of activity in the lead up to lock up, things have come off the boil a little bit. The main activity going on at the block is tiling of our upstairs wet areas. The tilers have been a bit on and off, showing up one day, but not the next, for the last couple of weeks but they are getting through it.

Our ensuite is full height tiling with all mitred joins so that's taking a while but it's starting to come together and we're really happy with how it's looking thus far. The floor is done, as is the shower and the feature wall that will go behind the free standing bath. Work continues on the walls this week. The kids bathroom also has the floor tiling complete and the balcony tiling has also commenced. 

About a week ago we had a meeting with Paul, our site supervisor, just to talk through a few things and get a bit of a rough idea about timing. We need to start to organise our finishing trades, such as flooring, window treatments, wardrobe fitout, aggregate, etc. Paul said that he's hoping to be finished in September, which would be great, as it gives us Oct, Nov & early December to try and get everything else done before the industry stops for Christmas. We've started to get quotes for these items and will continue to meet people on site over the coming weeks to try and land preferred suppliers.

So if we're aiming for finish in September (let's call it end of September), then we're only a little over three months away now from getting our keys! Starting to feel real 😀
