Apparently the kitchen is going in tomorrow... but I'll believe that when I see it.
SS hasnt seen the timber feature yet but is already looking into it, too see what can be done.
Tiling started yesterday, the main bathroom floor tiling looks to be done - ready for grout, and im presumming that maybe the toilets and ensuite were started as well... nothing in the laundry yet.
Glad your SS is on board and looking to rectify the issues. I have just organised to meet with our SS next Thursday for the first time. Will be good to ask him a few questions.
