Last week we met up with out site supervisor to check on the progress.
To our shock and horror the wrong basins, taps, toilets & a shower niche is missing in the main bathroom...
Site manager explains that he only put in whats on the paper work and I would have to chase it up
with admin/head office.
I promptly go home and check through our "Final Variation" the "Contract" and "the 123 promo brocher" which ALL say I should have the other basins, taps, toilets & a shower niche in the main bathroom...the ones I chose!
However a error with admins paperwork has resulted in all the above being put in wrong!
It took a further week and a half for admin to raise a "building variation"....after myself phoning the manager of EB homes in absolute annoyance at certain admin staff.
Thankfully he was able to get the building variance risen in less then 5 hrs, not 9 days!!!
They couldnt get the shower niche in the main bathroom, so I missed out on that as to re open the whole shower up, break the water sealing it would have been more hassle/ worry down the track then its worth! We got a credit back on it.
Now we are put back 2 weeks, while the toilets get swapped around, the bathroom bench tops and basins are replaced, and all the tap wear! Such a hassle, the tiler, the shower screen guy, the plumber and the painter all called back in! For a simple admin error. Not happy. I will be happy if it all takes no more then 2 weeks.
Main bathroom shower, wrong taps, however right shower rose...
Bathroom taps are supposed to be a spout and a flick mixer
Basin is supposed to be the risen basins, and a flick mixer tap

Tiles
Tiles are in now, I forgot what my bathroom tiles forgot like, however I have now fallen in love with them all over again!
We went with "Matt" for the floor tiles, as we have had gloss in floorboards before and they drove me MAD keeping them clean!

Tiles - without the grout yet
splashback tiles - without grout

Almost there......
Drove past a few weeks ago and sqeeled with joy with the sight of our garage door finally in!
I love the garage door, it would have to be one of my fave things...along with the kitchen :)
The internals are coming along well, we are almost at completion!
