Balcony Tiles, Deluxe Staircase Staining and More Jobs Off the List!

It was great to get into the house yesterday and see that not only was the balcony tiled, but it had also been grouted! 

Tile - Lifestyle Charcoal Textured 400 x 400 (standard)
Grout - Charred Ash (should be darker looking than it appears but it hasn't been cleaned yet)



Paining works continued yesterday (and again today). The painters were adding silicone along the weatherboards and doing some other exterior paint touch ups. The front doors had their second coat of stain and we are so excited to know that the stain on the stairs has started!!!!!

Front Doors - Cabots Rich Walnut

Stairs Cleaned and Ready For Staining Today


Staining Began on the Staircase Handrail Yesterday

More Tiling Works
Now that the spa bath has been installed, the tiles on the wall (back left) and the front (centre) tile have been completed - they haven't been grouted yet 

With the window in the shower finally in, the tiles were able to be finished 

An extra row of tiles has also been added to the bathroom shower - we think this is due to the height of the showerhead

Theatre Room Reveals Replaced
One was replaced last week and the remaining ones have since been done - yay!

The ensuite bath tap has the incorrect tap so when we go in yesterday and went upstairs it was interesting to see that the bath tap is different, but also wrong!!
Incorrect Tap!


The painters have been using one of the back taps and it is now constantly dripping - note to self! 

Need to check the height of our timber flooring as this part of the wall looks like it might need fixing as it will still be exposed

Portable Scaffold Delivery
We assume this is in readiness for rendering the facade and the tiles

Glass Balcony

Dropped in over the weekend to see if there had been any progress. We were there for a little while before we even realised that the glass had been installed on the balcony!!! Looking forward to sitting up there with a coffee and watching the world go by. The balcony and facade pillar are being tiled today!

Bits and Pieces

It's been hard to write a post this week as I've been waiting for a stage to be completed. Instead, we have had lots of bits and pieces being done, nothing really finished. Progress is progress though so no complaints! The weather is again, being very unkind this week which isn't helping. Spring weather; please flourish! 

Work in the past week has included;

  • Grouting to tiles
  • Tap-ware installed
  • Finishing unfinished brickwork
  • Scaffolding removed
  • Balcony rails installed




Grouting Done and Toilet In!


Breaks my heart seeing the tiles like this.......
And someone walked on the wall because......
