Mon 05 May - Evaporative Ducts to Ground Floor - Day 85
The heating and cooling guys were back to install the additional (2) evaporative ducts to ground floor that were missed Week 12.

Also they fixed up the ducts issue I raised regarding the heating/cooling ducts coming apart

Heater Ducts on the Roof coming apart

With every hope plaster did not show up   So I decided to give SS a call to see whats happening.
Funnily enough SS also thought that they were due to start last Thur/Fri. He told me he follow up.
Within 5 minutes SS called me back to advise that due to house being a double storey they needed special crains to get the plaster to first floor so truck is booked in for tommorrow.


Heres hope they will show up tomorrow

Sun 11 May - Plaster Joints  - Day 89
Today the plasterer were back on sight nice and early (7:30am - 15:00pm) to finish off setting the joints in the plaster wall/ ceiling so they can make it appear seamless. Now we just need to see the cornice go in to make it look complete.

All I have to say for this week is WOW So happy for this weeks progress. It truly makes up for the last two weeks (between Easter/ANZAC break).
Am so looking forward to another busy and excited week ahead... Hopefully by this time next week I can show off my Kitchen Cabinets
