Doors & Electrical fit off

We had another look inside the house today and were surprised to see all the door handles were on and the wardrobe clothes rails had been installed.









Also the electrical sockets and switches had been fitted off. They have installed standard bayonet light fittings for now in the kitchen and main living area. These will be eventually be replaced with energy saver down lights, along with the heat/extractor fan lights in the upstairs bathrooms.





The meter box is now ready for connection.

Garage door

We drove past house today and noticed that the Garage door had been put on. We were glad to see this as we had been wondering how well the colour would go with the rest of the house. We're very pleased with it.



It's actually a metal door but with a wood effect finish. This was an upgrade to have one double door rather than two single doors. It should make parking and reversing out of the garage easier. We're just hoping that the stain for the front door will match with it.

Arcitraving

The carpenter started around the 31st of October, we had gone on site to see how things were coming along. It is looking really good. While we were there, our site supervisor arrived. He said the kitchen and vanity units would be in next week. He also mentioned they could be done by Christmas, it would be tight however. Can’t see it ourselves there is still so much to do.

We came back Monday afternoon to see what had been done while we were away for the weekend. There is a problem with the arcitraving it's not the one we ordered! We had noticed it on the floor when we were around on Friday but we weren’t sure where they were using it. The door to the garage has been done in an old fashion traditional arcitraving not the look we are going for.



We checked our contract and it's wrong. We phoned Allcastle to make them aware that they had ordered the wrong materials. They agreed and would rectify the problem as soon as possible. Saved them a bit of cash there…... wonder if there’s a chance of some sort of discount. Lol (laugh out loud)

The front doors are in. We are really happy with the way they look, can't wait to see them stained.

The correct arcitraving has arrived and has been installed on most of the upstairs doors and windows. It's looks much better. This is the upstairs living area .
