Another trady came at 7am this morning to fix the creaky floor. There was a screw loose against a metal beam, nothing structurally wrong, just really annoying in a high-traffic area at the foot of the stairs.
Rang up and gave the go-ahead to the guy doing our vertical blinds. He's doing the install on the morning we're moving, next friday. At least we'll have privacy on our first night Chez Ragtag.
10am the floor sanders came to sand down the particleboard panel edges which are flat enough for carpet but not for tiles or timber. They only did the entry and left lots of sawdust which I'll clean up later today. Now there's nothing stopping the installation of my natural stone tiles. Muahahah! My concrete floor is also not perfectly flat according to my tiler, but he says he'll compensate with the glue/grout.
The waste tiles are left in front of my garage. It's starting to look like it did during construction again, but I'm beyond caring now.
Lunch time a guy came to finish off the insulation in the roof. I also showed him some panels which had fallen down along the split level interior wall. He asked me why the building company hadn't done it before handover. I shrugged my shoulders and told him maybe because I was in a hurry due to a pending eviction notice.
Still need to decide on raw or pre-finished timber for the lounge room.
