Tiles

I was advised to get Telstra in to pull the phone line before the render was done as they might need to chase the utilities wall. I had this done on Feb 25th but the guy was only able to do half the job since we had no access inside and they needed to get into the roof.

I had him back today to finish things off inside and went for a snoop around while I had the chance. I didn't take the proper camera so here are a few snaps from the iPhone. Looks like the tilers have been busy, the brick build up around the bath is done and half the tiles are in. We had a meeting with them a few weeks ago, they didn't speak much English so there was a lot of gesturing and hand waving but I think we got it sorted.

Chrome floor wastes! These were actually $62 each(!!!) to upgrade from the builder so we chose not to tick that box. I figured I'd go down to Bunnings and grab them for $7ea with some grout and sort it out myself. I guess the tilers don't bother with the cheap plastic ones so we scored a free upgrade.

Unfortunately they also decided to add porcelain soap dishes to both showers. We had specifically deleted these from the spec as they didn't match the tiles we had chosen, so I'll have to get onto the site super about that.
