In other news....

I few advancements for today we recieved the approved council plans in the mail.

I bought the feature tiles in silver, with enough for the ensuite and main bathroom. The ensuite will have one strip of tiles run down the wall with the tiles horizontal. So it will be a 600mm wide by 1800mm high chunk of texture. It will be on the wall in the double shower which is straight ahead as you come in the door. The strip will be about 1/3 way across the wall.  Floor tiles will be dark charcoal either 300X 600 or 600 X 600. Walls will be plain white in a size to match the floors.
In the bathroom we will run the same feature strip in the shower and also have enough tiles left over for a feature on the bath which is straight ahead inside the door. We will either feature the whole side wall of the bath or run a strip up the side of the bath, across the top and up the wall in one line. Best thing is that the colours will go well with any tiles or accessories, so over the years I can just change it with the colour trends.

Also today spoke with the builder to check on progress and he confirmed that all insurances have been confirmed and ready to go. He will take the approved plans to our private certifier on Mon and we should have everything on the approvals side done by next Friday. The excavating team are ready to get started as soon as they have the go ahead. So hopefully my land should be cleared within the next 2 weeks and preparation will be done for my slab shortly after.

I have a feeling that once we get started this will fly through. Which reminds me I better contact Integral Energy to arrange connect and check that Water is sorted.

Expect daily updates from me because I will be dropping in every day when I do the school run and posting from the phone. I will get some more progress pics of the whole street when I am there over the weekend.
