Meeting our Building Supervisor

Yesterday we had a quick meeting with our Building Supervisor. He was great, happy to take us through the house and talk us through what happens next.
So, the plasterers will finish this week - we have a team of guys working, maybe around 6 of them (they were moving so fast it was impossible to count!). I couldn't believe the speed they were getting things done.
Next week the cupboards, vanities and doors will be installed. The carpenter also comes back next week and will finish the outside of the house (I can't remember what its called but he will install the timber that goes between the brickwork and the roof line).
The quality inspection will be done after the doors & cupboards are installed. The painters won't start until they have the inspection report in case the plastering needs to be fixed in any spots.
So painting after that and then the tiler will begin. The tiling should only take a couple of days.
It doesnt look like we will be in until June though. Apparently around the time of the tiling the Building Supervisor writes a 17 day completion plan which identifies all the last jobs to be completed, afyer the 17 days the handover dept then takes over.
So for the last few weeks we may have to move in with friends and put our stuff in storage. We are trying to rent back our current home after settlement on the 20th May but are yet to hear back from the buyers & I'm really not too hopeful. Oh well we can put up with anything for a couple of weeks!

No photos today but I will try to get some tonight.
