Our SS told us 1 month from the kitchen getting installed until handover but it took more like 7 weeks Re: My Journey Building with Simonds - Livorno * Pic Heavy* 44May 26, 2013 10:58 am I cannot believe how quick your build has gone!

For some reason they didnt order our red bubble feature tiles which is a pain in the ar$e! They called me yesterday to tell me that they didnt order them because for some reason they thought that we were buying them separately even though they were on our order form & we had paid the tilers for them. So now they are going to be behind in that. Will they be able to tile our shower without them & just leave the assigned gap? Or will they have to wait and put back ordering the shower screen?
