Any estimate of how long it will take? Re: Katrina's 2nd home build - Gympie 223Dec 01, 2017 5:37 am Not the tiling itself. Actually, my email update yesterday said that tilers have been onsite and have almost completed the wet area tiling . But, we have been given a completion date of the 15th. If everything goes right, and we can coordinate things really well with the bank, we should be in by Christmas.

A lot of those things are small jobs - fingers crossed! Re: Katrina's 2nd home build - Gympie 230Dec 04, 2017 8:45 am Well the tiling "started" on Thursday. There was no one at all at the house on Friday, and as of yet no one again today. 10 days left until expected completion and nothing happening. Kitchen is supposed to be going in today and tomorrow, but i'd say with all the rain around they wouldn't be able to transport it to site. Rain also means no tank and treatment plant installation probably at all this week. With every drop of rain i feel a pre Christmas handover becoming less and less likely.

LOVE the front coach lights. Can't wait to see the facade all lit up at night time. The tiler also came back today and tiled the shower bases, he seems to only want to work about an hour a day.
