They'd completed Bedrooms 2, 3 and 4 and the WIR of the Master Suite and about 3/4 of the walls of the Master Suite. I think they'll have finished all the rooms by COB Saturday.

Re: One off plan WA - Cabinetry in **PICS** 179Apr 13, 2011 12:05 pm I went to our tiling meeting this morning and was surprised to see the floor tiles already laid down, so just reconfirmed our placement with the borders, etc around the wet areas. Both tilers were great and a happy bunch for the morning as well!
