So apparently the issue with the box gutters took a lot longer than anticipated to resolve which unfortunately resulted in a few more delays as the matrix cladding could not be installed until this was fixed. The cladding has now arrived and most of it has been installed, the roof eaves are on and to my surprise, the whole house has been plastered (no more pink bats to look at)! We did also notice that all the internal doors seem to have been delivered.
We did also have a slight drama this week with a drain pipe placement which was completely wrong (and kept me awake at night with worry) but luckily that too has been fixed. It went from this...
To this (phew!). Not sure why the plumber thought it was ok to leave a drain pipe jutting out so far away from the bulkhead!
In any case, I am relieved that this has been fixed now and the build can continue as scheduled.
I noticed that the architraves had also been installed today which was nice to see.
Hopefully there are no more delays in the build (I am getting the feeling that we have had our fair share of them already but who knows...). Our builder has so far been pretty good at minimising the delays as much as possible so we do appreciate that.
Now we have some cabinet installations to look forward to!
