Paint undrcoat nearly done

Today the painters could have finished all paint undercoat, and they have as far as they could. But since the tilers did not finish, that means they will have to come back later to finish off the undercoat, extending the delay for another week by the time the paint is done. That is if the tilers are back sometime this week.

Another mess-up by Masterton? our Site Supervisor? or the sub-contractors; once they do some work, get paid by Masterton, then they move on to the next job, only to come back when they have extra time?

I only know this because at lunch time I drove by, and they painters were sitting having a break and when I asked about undercoat being finished today, they told me wet area tiles are still not finished. They did not look happy about it as they could have finished all the undercoat for sure.

I mean, they could just over paint, under where the tiles would go?

Well, at least I can say they are doing a good job and very delicate in their work, to what I can see.

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

The balcony floor tiles are also in place.

Also in place the front door landing, fixing the slant issue as expected.

Finally some work

Visiting the site during my lunch break, the painters were in doing the undercoat of the ceilings.

Still no work from the tilers, and the painters were a bit annoyed as they cannot finish off, if tiling is not complete in all the wet areas and they will be forced to come back.

According to the SS, we should have had the painters on today. Yeah right!

Wet area progress

Most of the wet area tiles are now done. I expect to finish off by end of the week. Yay! Painting should start next week or so.

The house as it stands today

Wet area flooring

I drove by yesterday, saw some work being done. Sand & cement being mixed. I guess preparing the wet area floor tiles. Also saw some concrete slabs and some tiles for the front door slab & steps area.

I hope wet area tiling will start today, though I did not see any tiles delivered, but they could be upstairs already.

Architraves nearly done

Visiting the site today noticed most of the door and window architraves are done.

Built in robe sliding doors are also nearly done

Main bath granite top is still missing, due to the fact that yesterday, the workers must have damaged or done a wrong cut, and now needs a new one. Saw odd cut granite top in the bin.
