Construction Update - Week 23 - Floors, Garage Doors and More

So I snuck over to the house this weekend to see if there was anything to report and, boy, did I get a surprise.  After a couple of quieter weeks, a lot has been happening over the last 7 days.

First thing I saw was the garage door, which I think looks great.  I recall this being an upgrade at our selections appointment, and in my opinion it looks really good.  Other exterior changes are:

• The final render coat has been applied to the façade
• The timber window frames have been stained
• The in-fill above the bi-fold doors has been completed

But it was the interior, where I had the biggest surprise - we have flooring.  The carpet has been laid upstairs and the timber flooring has been laid downstairs.  Additionally:

• The staircase has been stained
• The bath has been installed and fitted off

I am also pleased to report that the plumbing in the downstairs powder room has finally been fixed and we have the mixer we originally selected.

We have had a message from our site supervisor today, wanting to book in an appointment for the final inspection - it could be as early as this Friday.

Here are the pics

The staircase has been stained, but it looks as though one of the hand-rails is going to be removed...

Finally, following a comment on my previous post, I did a search for the Wembley 35 on the Porter Davis web-site.  Sure enough, the Wembley 35 page is gone, so it looks as though the house is not being offered any more.  There is no question it's a great design, so I can only assume they have more profitable products to offer clients nowadays.
