Floor tiles almost done

Looks like the floor tiles are almost done. Edges and corners are what's left, then grouting.

A quick photo from the outside through a window.

No one there today, but I guess they have to give 24 hours for it to settle and dry before they can walk on them to complete the rest.

Floor tiling started

Floor tiling has started today and I presume it will be done by Friday.

A quick photo from back sliding door. Bit hard with glass reflections. 

Hopefully I'll be able to take better photos once all done.

Yet another re-selection!

And YES! We have to re-select our laminate timber flooring as well.
Got a call from the supplier saying the laminate timber flooring we chose is now discontinued!
I wonder when Masterton will get the idea that selecting colours 6-8 months ahead is NOT working.
Lucky, the sales person will post samples for me to chose from, saving me 2 hours drive, each way!

At the same time, the flooring is booked in for 16th of May. So that means no PCI till mid next month. Only recently the Site Supervisor told me PCI end of April.
Is he expecting to do PCI before flooring is done? Not if I have a say in it.

Breath in, breath out...Relax...

Re-selecting main tiles

Got a call today from Tiles Direct, our tiles supplier, informing me that the main area tiles I selected, are no longer available, discontinued. They asked me if I could visit their showroom ASAP to select alternative tile, as they are planned for delivery tomorrow.

So I had to leave work for nearly 4 hours to drive to Seven Hills, select and alternative tile and drive back. At least if they would have alternative. Non of their tiles matched. No matte soft white tiles 400x400mm.

The closest colour I could choose was that had a bit of cream, but close enough I guess.
