Getting there slowly but surely ...

We’ve hit the three-quarter-complete mark and there has been a lot of building action. The site supervisor remains impressive and I’ve been getting 24 hour turn-around time for any emails I had sent, which is quite acceptable for a person who is supposed to be on-site ensuring things are rolling according to plan. The main entry door was installed and although it is a replacement of what we had chosen initially, looks great. As mentioned earlier our choice of Corinthian Elegance model was not available in a size greater than 920mm; however, Madison models are now available in rosewood and oak veneers which are suitable for clear finish.

 

 

Also installed were the garage doors... We’ve chosen B&D Panelift® in Madrid profile, which is part of the premium range. Without the driveway and the balustrade for the balcony, the door looks a bit out of place but I guess the shale grey colour will get more definition once the house is complete.

The delivery of the main floor tiles was delayed by a week and this pushed things like kitchen installation by a week but Casaview managed to complete everything else it could while waiting for the tiles to arrive. From my calculation the delay was only 5 days because as of yesterday the garage was full of boxes of tiles, quite a lot of them and two gentlemen were evaluating the stock and marking the areas. So everything is back to normal ... it seems.
