It's a Celebration!
Today's my birthday and I have been celebrating all day. So much happened so far this week at the house with the plumbing and electrical fit out completed. The doors have had the locks installed and it means we really can't get in now. We have to ring the SS or sneak in when a tradie is working on the house. Here are some pictures of the fittings so far.
Toilet roll holders
Towel rail in main bathroom
Towel rail in ensuite
IXL tastics in both bathrooms
Alfresco gas fitting
Mixer tap in ensuite
Door handles
Power point to island bench
Alarm control panel
Ducted vacuum outlet
Just a bit annoyed with the electrician though. When I went over there today noticed that they attempted to cut the kitchen splash back tile to fit the power point but cracked it instead. Phoned the SS and asked if he can ensure that this is fixed. He assured me that he has arranged for the tiler to return and fix the cracked tile. I hope he means that it will be removed and replaced with a new tile. Furthermore, the plumber had to break the skirting tiles in the toilets to install the toilets which have to fit flush against the wall. If you look at the picture below closely you'll notice the broken tiles behind the toilet. The SS assures me he has already organised this to be fixed as well. Lets see what happens.

With the driveway booked in for next week there doesn't seem much more left for Eden Brae to do except the cleaning of course. It would have just made my day if the SS called with a PCI date today. Will just wait in anticipation....

Sorry ladies, I was at a wedding and stayed in the city over the weekend, didn't see your comment Bel and Caz. Next year we'll have a street party. Really celebrate.
All but done by the looks of it! Just those couple of pesky things to fix. Lock in a date for PCI and you'll be laughing. Happy Birthday too!
