Things to do before hols

Going away for 3 weeks this Friday.

Things to chase

- Retaining wall.  Have been trying to chase my builder about the retaining wall.  It's still stressing me.  I got an email from him, and sounds like a do need a building permit for it. Tried to call today, but couldn't get through, so I'll need to sort it after I come back.

- Appliances. Was meant to be delivered next Thurs but site supervisor asked for delivery today for the cabinet makers - thankfully HN were able to rush delivery in time.

- Pre plaster inspection. Asked my builder and inspector to organise as it's likely to happen while I'm away.

- Guest ensuite. Frames had not been reinforced for grab rails.

- I realised that my living room window is too low at 1.5m and now my tv won't fit without covering part of the window.  Poor design by me.  I didn't even think about it.  It's not quite at 1.5 (1.48) so I've asked my builder to chock it up as high as possible as there's still a small gap above the window.

Not much has happened past 2 weeks.

Scaffolding has come down, and the render colour is the same - SOB! I was definitely expecting a more grey base, not yellow/brown.  Oh well.

Ground floor roof tiles have been completed.

Rendering

I dropped by after church today and was surprised to see people working today - due to good weather.

They were completing the rendering.

It looks like it has a yellow tinge which I don't like. Not what I was expecting.

Hmm, will have to wait and see.

Also looked at hallway duct - taken out more of my wardrobe space - boo (ignoring the fact that it is nearly the size of a room!)

I also realised that the west side wall depth is only 500. I should have made it deeper for my cupboards considering I have so much space.
