    Hey Dennis things are moving along hope you are happy so far.
    Seeing them making the concrete benches in the kitchen reminded me of what happened when we built.
    They made the concrete benches and left a hole for the sink to go in. Prior to the concrete being put in i asked them if they had checked that the sink would fit into the hole.
    Of course they looked at me like I was stupid but anyway after the concrete had set I tried to put the sink into the hole and lo and behold it wouldn't fit.

    So just check it before they pour the concrete if you know the sink size.

    Hi Ootai, yep the builder asked which sink we were getting, we gave him the model number, so if it's wrong it's his problem

    Quite a different approach than my kitchen. I went with premade cabinents. No block or cement at all.

    Hi Norton, we looked at prebuilt but because of our limited space we couldn't get a good fit and the cost was a lot more

    Hi David, actually the tiles weren't that expensive, about 180 B sq. meter, we waited for a good sale before we bought, we had to store for a while but it was worth it, we're lucky SIL lives close

    Don't know if you can see it but the tiles are laid in a staggered pattern, tile layer wasn't very happy about it but he did a nice job

    Got another screwup that needs to be fixed, he's got the toilet drain at 50 cm I didn't say anything before because I thought they were going to put a short wall for water lines but when they put up the wall tile I knew something was wrong

    ^In case you have missed the advice: click twice on the downloaded picture, then on the pop-up menu check the "full size"...
