The first one was damaged in shipping, so they sent us a new one. unfortunately it is also slightly damaged from a packet of screws being loose inside the sink during transport. Not really bad and only a little visible. We have to drill the tap hole in the sink though, as it's an exotic material and we are supplying it to the builder to install they have said they want nothing to do with drilling the hole. Fair enough but a bit annoying. We had to spend like $70 on an Auger bit and holesaw to do the job... (looks like a bloody pro did it ) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Our ensuite pendant lights are in, I'm not convinced about them. Unfortunately we had to pick them out of a website as the local beacon/middies didn't have anything we really liked. We will see how they go, hopefully they fit everything. Worst case we have to change them over. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Main living area A/C control is in. We weren't consulted on it's location and would have chosen a different spot in the main living area to put it, but it's not a biggy, I'm sure it will be fine.

We had access all weekend from the builder though to do some of our own stuff prior to our removal, like install our Pull out Pantry (Hafelle Dispensa), assemble some shelves, clean the garage ready for epoxy paint, and lacquer our mailbox.
