Another week passes

During the week, we received a cc'd letter from the builders to the project manager asking, basically, what's going on, where are the documents and when can we start? A subsequent conversation with the project manager revealed that the drawings are still being revised and the contracts are still being drawn up. There's a chance that it be all in place early next week, but who knows? As I mentioned before, once the contracts are approved and signed, the builders must give two weeks' notice to the Council before starting work.

Meanwhile, we were back on the tile trail today. We went to a couple of places and discovered that pre-sealed polished porcelain tiles, in a pale-but-warm shade, are very rare indeed. We ended up back at the place we were in this past two weeks, looking afresh at their selection, all of which are pre-sealed porcelain. Knowing that we'd have to compromise, we finally settled on a tile and bought 80-something square metres of it. It's a little bit more marbled than I'd like ideally, but it's warm without being too yellow, while still being neutral enough to go virtually unnoticed on every tiled surface in the house. While in the shop I also took the opportunity to photograph the bathroom suite we bought last week, and I've added it to the previous post.

Next week could well be crunch week in getting this project off the drawing board. Alternatively, nothing at all might happen.
