It's coming together

Hi all,

Just a quick update to say that all is going well.

The Gib plastering was completed and the painters were in this week. They have also painted the bedrooms so we have a consistent look throughout the place. The painters did this for an additional cost to us of $600.

The Kitchen is progressing and should be ready for installation in approximately 10 days.

Finally the carpet has been sorted. Stephen asked about whether the colour (Sultana) might possibly fade in the sunlight. We had asked this question of Carpet Court and they said this would be the same whichever colour we chose.

We are also looking at some curtains which will replace the existing ones. These will be covered under our existing budget for 07/08.

Finally, the insurance company will only cover the cost of carpet replacement for the room downstairs and the stairs/landing. They will not cover the bedrooms. The carpets will therefore be quite mismatched given the different colours. Carpet Court have quoted us $1870.00 to complete the carpeting throughout the house. We'd like to be able to do this but feel this should be put to the vote.

Please let us know your preference by the end of this week - Sunday 19th August.

Thanks
