WEEK 27 (inc Christmas) - 09-01-13.

Happy New Year....

and a new year on-site.

PROGRESS:

 

Martin back in action as of yesterday.

He is working on the decorative facias - see photos - they look really good.

Slate/ tiles to be delivered on Tuesday next.

Martin can begin with putting existing salvaged tiles on the side roof - Monday.

Windows delivery date - should be 21st.

decorative facia in place with primer coat paint.

decorative facia with 'squiggle'

 

 

TO DISCUSS:

 

I am anticipating that the decorative facias will be painted -  if so what colour?

Martin mentioned that the detailed 'squiggle' see photo - could be painted a slightly darker color to help give a shadow effect.

I have made it clear to Martin that there will be a finish date in early/ mid April.

I have asked him to stick to this and to mark out a programme working backwards from this date.

He seems serious about this suggested finish date - 12 weeks from this week.

Im going to pester him a bit more this year - speed it up a bit.

 

Windows guy was with me yesterday - we swapped cheques and I tore up first invalid cheque.

However I dont have the post-dated cheque made out to Munster joinery (cheque no. 2)

Could this be right????? Probably no big rush but Id imagine they will need that 2nd cheque at delivery stage.

Sorry - we seem to have made this windows payment complicated for ourselves!!!

It is worth remembering that Martin will be on-board until near full completion of the job - including kitchen fit-out, utility storage/ press, all surfaces painted, carpet, tile, working w.c.s, built in storage etc............ almost a 'turn-key' solution - this will take some of the pressure off yourselves at that stage in getting everything ready for use.

Only moveable furniture and white-goods will need to be purchased.
