Tiles Tiles Tiles

Day 120 - The Tilers have been through and almost finished. Should be finished tomorrow. The painters have almost finished too.
The downpipes have been painted and under the eaves. Anyway picture tell the story.

We have a busy weekend coming up as we really need to sort out the carpet. Oh and we did mitre 10 last weekend so Bunnings is going to be a big challenge this weekend....



We arranged to meet the tiler at the house to go through the tiling plans. We had heaps of the small glass tiles below so he suggested to add an additional row. So now we have 3 instead of 2. Happy about that.
The laundry tiles were to go up to the overhead cupboards, but the tiler suggested we take it two tiles high and go right accross the wall. We're not complaining. :-)
The shower bases have been layed diagonally. I think the display homes are square. What do you all think? It seperates the two areas.
Since the tiles are seperate to the shower the tiles have been centred with the bath and the maroon tiles. This picture doesn't show the maroon very well. The tiles on the left were removed due the the mirror which goes above the vanity wall.
We explained to the tiler that he needed to randomly mix the tiles up for the toilet. This is the outcome.
The shower niches will have the maroon tiles. Once again Diagonally layed tiles for the base.
Here you can see the wall tiles meet up with the window. The 1500mm shower fits in just right.

And the pantry tiles also with the maroon tile. They were short on tiles so another box has been delivered. We may have a few spare tiles left over....
It seems weeks ago when B&P started their tiling. It's been really exciting to see paint and tiles go in as this is the final look.

Looks great ! I love the burgundy ! I'm glad I don't drink because going to that toilet would make me dizzy.
Have fun at Bunnings. Can you do Nunawading this time ?

Wow! Huge week for you guys. Looking good! Have you got an approximate handover date yet?

No handover date yet. I usually receive a phone call on Fridays on our progress. I'll try and get a date.

Looking good. Looks like you may have passed us - our tiling has stalled due to the screw up with the vanity height in our ensuite.

Looks fantastic, especially the toilet. Geelongwas a bit far, but if you do Nunawading Bunnings, I'll be able to check out your handywork !!! ;)
I think the tiler has done a really neat job. A lot of the displays I went to on the w/end had the diagonal pattern on the shower base.There's no way they'll need the 120+ days left, is there??!!!Lucky you - you'll be in before you know it!
