I'm wondering if the same guys might be doing our tiling. Yeah of course, $50 per working day (no weekends or public holidays) I read my contract and they pay up until PCI.. Nope no idea who each of my trades are... They did a great job, the carpenter just accidentally framed the wrong shape bath hob lol this is all a knock of effect of that... So to fix they ripped up tiles but the tiles ended up being discontinued now new tiles are finally ordered..

Hope your build is picking up[/quote] That seems half decent, but I would still prefer to just be in the house. I was just looking at our bath hob and we have a rectangular hole Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ We definitely are supposed to have a round bath tub though. I'm curious how that is going to work. Thinking I should mention it to Dan on monday. As for our progress we are one day away from having our bricks finished. Then we are supposed to be having our kitchen and vanities installed. With the carpenters also coming back to do the eves and take us to lock up. Then bring on the wet floor tiles. Can't wait to see them Re: My First Build - Coral Homes Noosa 20 - Jordan Springs 455Jul 16, 2016 5:20 pm Oh no ash, I'd really been hoping you had PCI yesterday Did they renege and say the tiles you chose were to much?
