As you know, I fetched the plans yesterday from council and believe it of not - they didn't ask for any more money!! Alan has to fax off some forms, stating when building will start....He'll take care of it, saying we started on Friday and worked through the weekend if any questions are asked.
One cannot see much of what has been done the last 2 days, but the grinding seems to be time consuming. They have now patched up around all the window and door openings so that they are ready to build in the windows and doors. Then holes have been grinded into the existing garage wall (the inner wall) where the slab must be fitted into.
This afternoon I've been to sign the contract with Easylife kitchen. Alan thinks they can come and measure up in about a week/10 days. The plaster won't be done, but they say that is not a problem. They are able to deliver within 3 weeks after measuring up. They don't use subcontractors, so let's hope for the best. Two years guarantee. For the wardrobe I've chosen a finish that shows the woodgrain - should come to about R500 more on the quote, but in the end they kept the quote the same.
We have also collected a floor tile sample from Tile Africa - the one that we both decided we liked - and found a plain tile from CTM to use on the bathroom walls. Haven't bought anything, I just wanted to get some ideas. I also went to "On Tap" for a quote - they seem much cheaper than Bathroom Bizarre - even when quoting on Hans Grohe. Will have to see who we are going to use in the end.
Hopefully I can report on a bit more activity after tomorrow!

You are really a perfect building supervisor. Can I ask you to take also a picture from the street in direction of the garage/new house at some or other time? This would give me some impression how everything looks like from the street level.
