Well things are looking up, the painters have worked five days in a row! Things are finally moving along again. All the woodwork on the front facade has now been stained, we are really happy with how well it matches the garage door.
Front door has just been stained. The mark on the glass is a sticker. As much as clear glass looks best we decided on translucent glass for the door and sidelights so people can't see in at us.
This picture shows the skirting colour contrasting the wall colour.
Ensuite
The tiler was supposed to start this week but the painters said no way to that so now he is supposed to start on Monday. Our SS says we are three days behind the estimate he gave us of "mid October" but he says he should be able to make it up but it is still at least two weeks over the contract period.

Wow - it all looks gorgeous now! :-) So, what happens with them having to pay you if it goes over contract ? I have a feeling our will, too.
We're having translucent glass on the door for the same reason - I don't want people being able to see right thru the place!
Not too long now!
Looks fantastic - should be some consolation for how long it's taken. Good to see it's picked up again.
I've found that now the main works are complete on mine and I'm on the final stage (fix, paint & tiling complete) it only takes about 2 more weeks. I'm very close to the final inspection so hopefully yours will move along the same. I think it's the most rewarding part of the build.
Hi Petal
We are definately going over the contract time so there is no "if" about going over. I don't know how they pay us but I guess I will be taking it out of the final payment. It seems a lot closer now but you never know when you are going to get one of those three weeks delays for no apparent reason!
