Upstairs flooring complete

Upstairs flooring of laminate timber is now complete. Got there just in time as they were packing up, sneaked in and took some photos.

Some photos of 99% finished ground floor tiles. Some places, the grout was missing along a line from one end of the room to the next. Not sure why.

The rubbish allocated fenced are is moved to allow the installation of the power pole. Arghhh!

And to finish off with, the front door landing & steps. (Most likely the steps will be covered by the driveway, unless we change our minds).

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. 

Wet area floor tiles

All of upstairs wet area floor tiles are placed, waiting for grouting.

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.
