I don't suppose you got an apology either when you chased them up I did get some sort of an apology from one company. They said something like "this is not our normal business practice and due to circumstances you have slipped through the gaps" bla bla bla. They then tried to offer to still do the quote but I declined. I have no confidence that a company that can't even give me a quote within a reasonable amount of time will actually show up to do the job when I need them to. dreamcometrue The wet areas are looking good, those mottled floor tiles are nice against the wall tiles, but I am wondering why the ceilings aren't finished off yet? The ceilings in the bathrooms aren't finished because of the full height tiling. They couldn't put on the cornices before the tiling was finished, because the cornices have to overlap the tiles. They will do that next week I think. Not so sure why they haven't painted the ceilings though. I think they prefer to paint the cornices first and then the ceiling afterwards and they probably have good reasons for that.

It was a bit hard to get into the house though since the tradies obviously were only at the house for short periods of time. The glass splashback has gone into the kitchen yesterday although they somehow forgot a panel to the right of the window. We could only look at it through the dirty windows, so no photos yet. It looks good. Not amazing but also not omg what have we done. I'm quite happy with it. Only a few things left: garage doors, silicon in bathrooms and the splashback panel. Cleaning will be done on Thursday and Friday. PCI has been booked for next Tuesday afternoon. FINALLY we are getting to the end, at least of the building bit.

Thank you for the tip, we will have a close look at everything. I will also ask the independent building inspector that has done some stage inspections for us during the built to come as well. So hopefully we won't miss anything. So far they have been pretty good so fingers crossed there won't be anything major. dreamcometrue Soooo close Yes, can't wait to finally get the keys. Still so much work to do afterwards though. How is yours going? Any sign of trenches yet? bubblynutter Woohoo! Best of luck for PCI! Tell Ingrid to get packing... Thank you! Packing will probably be happening at the last possible moment. There's too much stuff that we need with 3 kids running around. So we can't really pack everything away in advance. But I have moved many times before and usually it only takes a couple of days of concerted effort to get it all done, so I'm sure we can do it.

Thanks Re: IMJAS' House in SA - PCI booked for Tuesday 28th 238Aug 22, 2012 11:03 pm Hi Thalian72. Your house is looking great! I really like your bathroom feature tile - a bit of a change from the usual mosaic tile, and looks so good with the gleaming white everywhere else. Looking forward to seeing your splashback. 'Metallic mushroom' sounds cool.

Looking forward to seeing your splashback. 'Metallic mushroom' sounds cool. I love mushroom colours even if I hate the food... Thank you for the compliments. We like our bathrooms too. Unfortunately photos of the splashback have to wait until we get a chance to get into the house. Photos through the dirty windows just don't work as they don't show the colour at all. Maybe in the next couple of days, while the cleaners are at the house we will get a chance to take some pictures from the inside.
