Gib stopping and doors

Dressing room, stopped

I've been a bit lax with the updating!  I keep forgetting the camera, and then I've got Sunday night things to attend to...  So here is a retrospective report.

By last week-end, the gib-stopper had come in and started to do the stopping in the bathrooms, laundry and dressing room.  And also the ceilings, I think.

Dining room with MDF up

The Builder did some more work on putting up MDF board.  He lined the TV cavity in the lounge, and also the stairwell.  Excitingly, he did finish the MDF in the dining room.  As those panels will not be stopped, you will still be able to see those lines between the panels after it is painted.

Bathroom tiles (bigger than they look here!)

Some tiles from the bathroom also found their way into the house, so we threw them into the shower in the main bathroom to get an idea of what they will look like.  It's still a bit difficult to tell!

The builder has also been working off-site, manufacturing the doors.  They are all huge, and the only two internal doors that are hinged are the bathroom and laundry doors (and they're also taller than normal).  The builder had already hung one, so Regan had to take it down so he could prime it.  That was when he discovered that it weighed about 80 kg.  Much cursing ensued.

So he primed both doors and has made sure that he gets to prime the others before the builder puts them up!

Checking the lounge door (stairwell is left)

I can report that the carpet did go in today, as scheduled.  Photos to follow!  The Builder is back on board on 7 January, so that's not too long to wait.
