Things are progressing

There has been some progress over the last couple of weeks:

Plumbing
  • Donald Ward and Graeme (Master Plumber friend) managed to get down to Queenstown two weeks ago and remove all the piping from the house
  • They also noticed that the Hot Water Cylinder is not compliant (never has been)
  • They have found a solution and when they go back in the house to fit the pipes, they will correct this
  • They couldn't get back to the house last weekend due to the extremely bad weather!
  • They hoped to get there this weekend - we'll update you next week

Builder

  • John Cameron, our builder, went in last week and did all the work to the internal walls that was required
  • Once Donald has been back in to fit the pipes, they will do the gib work

Kitchen

  • Designs for the new kitchen have been recieved (much the same as the previous kitchen)
  • We haven't heard what any costs involved will be
  • I will update soon

Carpet

  • Jae's Carpet Services have advised that the carpet is unable to be cleaned and will therefore be replaced
  • The Insurance Assessor has asked Carpet Court in Queenstown to measure the place up, look at the existing carpet and provide a quote to replace
  • They will only replace up to the front door - not the stairs etc
  • We'd like to propose that we continue the carpeting up to at least the bedrooms and if not too expensive, replace the bedroom carpet also
  • We'll be in touch once we have any costs
  • Once we have the quote from Carpet Court, we are free to investigate if we could get better value for money from a different carpet store

That's all for now...will be in touch soon
