Yep! That's the stair base. We ended up paying the stairs company directly to add a rebate through the face of each tread and I'm glad we did. It adds to the look

And unfortunately the void platforms weren't supposed to be removed as I suspected so painter can't paint the voids on Saturday as we have to wait until Monday to get the platforms back.

My SS is lovely but I feel sorry for him because of all the stuff that keeps going wrong. He was laughing at me because I just walk around with a list of things that he been done wrong/incorrectly sent lol. We even found the entire front wall had been bricked out of plum. There's not much they can do though. Hard to see here but you can just see The ledge outside isn't straight. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅

I think we will be all locked up when we get back! Lucky for me we are missing a dining slider so I'll still climb in

Thank you :-)

I actually left a note there this morning and this was one item I included, with a mention that we paid $5000 + for bathroom and ensuite and powder rectified costs so I expect to see 1.5mm grout lines for my money!

That's one battle I lost. They just wouldn't have it that it needed to be anything other than 3mm. RIPPED OFF.

Hey you!! How's things? Don't worry about your grout lines. Your home is a knockout! But yes it p's you off when you pay so much and get ripped off. I think it's all bullo about not being able to get the required fall with a finer grout line. Maybe i am being too simplistic but if they use spacers how is a rectified tile any harder to lay?

I am in love with your facade. Your taste is impeccable! The impeccable design ideas you have are going to overshadow the nightmare of the build. You will sit back and feel very proud of your self, that you never lost sight of your original vision you had for your home. You are doing such a wonderful job lets face it you are the site manager of your own build, it's your attention to detail that is keeping this ship going. So when it feels overwhelming feel very proud of yourself. I think I would have lost my mind weeks ago. Sorry for the long post.

That was an incredibly sweet post- thank you so very much!

I think I just realised very early on that coral just wanted to get my job over and done with and we have been told numerous times now by Coral that contracts for our home should never have been issued because of the modifications we did

I must say even though things like the kitchen delay are frustrating, it's getting more exciting now.

As recently as yesterday we had chippies walking on and storing timber on waterproofing membrane that had not even been down for 12 hours. They pierced the membrane in the shower of the ensuite and even though we told the SS, I s till feel like I have to follow up to make sure it was fixed.

l can't wait to see the finished product.

I'm away at a wedding but Mum has kept an eye on the house today and said people were working until after 5! She snuck in and took some pics... They managed to get the void floors back on for painting and apparently all ceilings are painted!

Stairs in and looking snazzy. Just hoping the stain can counter balance that red as I want a charcoal look

Door on but will have to be replaced as they have drilled the hole for the wrong lock and handle

Very nice!! Very very nice!!

MrsJM · Oct 23, 2016 12:14 am

I think they have actually painted the walls too judging by the photos! I am curious as I thought someone mentioned that an undercoat is done first... If it is, can't see how they would get a coat of colour on today too....

Thanks von! We chose charcoal but I think I'm going to go and buy Black Japan and just ask the painter to use that
