Week 17 Skirting Boards and Cladding

Week Seventeen 28 Jan - 1 Feb

Day 80 - 84.  It rained most of the weekend and with the outside walls not quite finished the back rooms all had water in around the skirting boards that had been sat in place.  Luckily most of them had not been actually nailed into place so they had the opportunity to dry out before being fixed to the wall.  I will be looking out for signs of swelling or issues with the skirting board but it should be ok as it seemed to dry out really well.  

 

Outside.  The outside brickworkwas finished by the end of the week and most of the cladding was in place outside the study and around the deck area.  The framing around the windows in the cladded area has been done and they have started to install the permanent downpipes. 

Bathroom.  The feature tile in the kids bathroom has also been installed and looks really great.  The feature will run just above the shower screen and over the top of the mirror.

Kitchen.  The kitchen benchtops have been installed and look great, a bit hard to tell in the photos as they are covered with plastic wrap.  By the end of the week the tiling on the splashback had also been nearly completed.  (We were a few tiles short) We got the area behind the oven done but not the area on the wall on the side bench as it is away from the sink and I also eventually want to put a smart screen up on that wall.
