Fireworks, and we missed it all!

Before we get to the fireworks, back track to Monday and the action on site. Wayne was present, however Phil was not, which was a bit of a problem as Phil was to help Wayne continue with the steps to the new entrance landing. Oh dear ...

The stonemason did turn up and started with the stone splash backs in the kitchen and the serving bench outside the window. It was not all completed so he was due back Tuesday. More on that later ...

Today was a big day of activity. Wayne and Phil started early on the steps to the new entrance. At the end of the day, this is the result.

Little sign on the bottom that reads, DO NOT USE!

Sammy the Electrician was back and the cook top was connected, Chief very happy however couldn't get it to work for tea. Deputy worked it out though, but he didn't cook tea! The range hood was also on the agenda and is not quite finished, however there is a nice hole in Deputy's nicely painted wall and ceiling! You can see the stone splash back as well.

Upstairs the power was connected so now all the lights work and we replaced the nice light fixture in the stair well to ...

At least this won't swing in the breeze!

The plumber was also on site and spent the day installing the upstairs bathroom. A small problem when a crack was discovered in the toilet bowl (ha ha, no I'm not trying to be funny). A crack that leaked water was discovered in the bowl and a new one had to be quickly obtained. Now, once permission is granted, people can go upstairs and do their business.

The vanity and the shower head and bath fixtures were also put in place.

The shower screen has been ordered and some finishing off work to be completed before it can be used.

While upstairs, do you like the photo of the fan going in Joel's room?

The stonemason returned and he finished the splash backs.

And then he finished off the serving bench outside the window.

Apparently though the work on this piece and under the range hood was shoddy work and Wayne told them so. From eye witness accounts, it was on for young and old. Shoddy work, not paying for this work, I'm ripping my stuff out then, no you will get off my building site and not return. Poor Chief returned to be called over by Wayne and given the run down and strict instructions not to let him back on site. First fun and games in 23 weeks and we missed it all!

Will be interesting to see who turns up tomorrow. The range hood is not completed, there is tiling work to be done upstairs and in the laundry and from last reports, the air conditioning was being completed tomorrow before the floors are sanded. Stay tuned, pretty sure it will not be as exciting as today!
