We were going so quick and smooth then BAM! 1. 18sqm tiles short (they did not realise we were tiling to the roof in all bathrooms) 2. Stone bench was on back order for 5 weeks then will be for a further 4 and we were not told therefore held plumber up for quite a few weeks.. 3. lighting supplier shorted us 10 downlights and 8 globes and 3 spotlights. Now we are somewhat back on track. Been told move in date could be mid june but this is what we have left... 1. Carpet 2. Plumber 3. tiler to seal between skirting board and tiles throughout house apart from bedrooms. 4. acid wash and sealing of driveway and build our tombstone better box. 5. Painter to pain letter box and downpipes. 6. installation of shower screens and mirrors 7. SS to look over house for imperfections and issues. 8. Cleaning and site clean up. feels like we have still so much to go.
