Construction Update - Week 22 - Garage is nearly finished

The plasterer has been back this week and fitting of the plaster ceiling for the garage and alfresco has been completed.   Also the rear roller door for the garage has been fitted.  And the fix for the master bedroom WIR window appears to be completed.  Other than that, there has not been much progress on site.

 

But the big news of the week is that we think we have finally resolved the powder room plumbing issue.  I have posted the background to this previously,  the basic problem is that the wrong plumbing was roughed in for the powder room taps and we have been working with Porter Davis on what to do about it.

 

We have through quite a bit of back and forth on this one.  A couple of weeks ago we agreed to keep the wall mounted plumbing if we could choose some decent tapware and PD agreed to give a pair of hand rails for our staircase.  In the end wall mounted taps was not going to work due to our shallow basin.  Finally after much to and fro, Porter Davis has agreed to go back to the original plan,  fix the plumbing and install the mixer.  Credit to PD for this.  Interestingly as the pictures show, the extra staircase handrail has already been fitted, and even though we are going back to the plan, we are hoping that it stays...

 

The final bit of news is that we have shared with our site supervisor that we have a long list of things that we think will need fixing.   He is keen to see the full list,  so I will be sending that over to him later tonight.

 

Here are some pictures...
