Slow progress

We are slowly getting progress on getting the house finished. We got some concreting done at the back of the house from the laundry to the clothes line. We are going to put a garden bed where it the concrete goes in.

Concreting at the back of the house

The bricklayer came back on Tuesday 10/9 and started to do the rendering on the front entry.

We are disappointed in the tiles. We didn't notice that the colour and shine was different in some tiles until they had a good clean and now it is really noticeable. We've spoken to the builder and found out that they are two different batches and we were guaranteed that this would not happen and that they would all be from the same batch. So now there is a dispute between the builder and the tile supplier on who's at fault. We aren't sure what is going to happen but it sounds like they might all get pulled up and redone again. It will be a huge cost to someone (180 square metres of tiles) and an inconvenience to us because not only do the tiles have to be redone but also architraves have to come off and then the painter will have to be back as well. We will have to wait and see what is going to be done. In this photo you can see the different colour but not the different shine.
