Day 105 - Tiling Complete

About a week ago now the tiling was completed. I've been a little slow to update the site given we're also not far away from the wedding and with the house progress slowing up now it is taking up less of our time.

I missed the call from my SS on Wednesday so he left a message advising us that he had kept the end of this week and all of next week to rectify the couple of plaster issues we have. This should also hopefully give him time to get the plaster fixed and the paiting also done.

There are a few updates that are worth noting.

First off, I took a few pics of what the evaporative cooling unit looks like since it blew off it in the wind.

This is where the unit was:

This is how it looks now.......

This is where the evaporative cooling unit ended up, it blew off from over the other side of the house.

They aren't sure why it came off, let's hope they fix it properly when they do put it back on, perhaps they'll use bolts instead of blutac next time round.

The tiling is also complete, we're really happy with the way that it has come up. We can't wait until the tiles are all cleaned up and the colours come through. The ceasarstone is also installed and looks great.

The kitchen snow ceasarstone installed, hard to see due to the wood over the top.

The laundry tiling, the laundry is basically finished now.

I started to take a few photos of the front of the house to play around with some landscaping ideas. We have been thinking about putting in timber stairs but that would mean that we might need to adjust our driveway layout. I took these photos anyway to play around with:

and another:
I haven't done to come to any firm ideas around the front but I got the image looking from this:

into this, however this is only a peak at how the driveway etc will look, we haven't had the driveway paved yet.

We're about a week away now from fitoffs, the fence hasn't progressed on our neighbours side. It looks as though today there was a gas pipe laid however it goes a long way up the side of the house. I was thinking of putting in a fence and at the moment it means the fence is going to be a fair way back and it will probably change the look of the front of the house.

The external painting of the render should also be done over the next few weeks.

Enjoy the photos below.
