Update 3 · 1–7 Nov

Plastering done; the counter top arrives four days late

  • Plastering and ceilings100%+60% (was 40%)
  • Counter, kitchen and joinery15%+15% (was 0%)

Plastering and ceilings are finished and drying well. The damp patch behind the old bar came from a leaking overflow in the flat above: the landlord has fixed it and the wall is dry and plastered. The joiner measured up on Thursday, but the stone supplier has moved the counter top delivery back four days.

Next update

The kitchen extraction goes in on Monday and the counter base is built on site. We need your floor tile choice this week to keep the tiler booked.

Questions

  • Can we see the counter before it is finished?

    a***@example.com · Thu 5 Nov 08:40

    Of course. The base goes in next week, and Thursday afternoon is a good time to come by.

  • Will the water feed for the coffee machine be ready before the machine is delivered?

    t***@example.com · Thu 29 Oct 11:05

    Yes. The feed and the drain are in and tested; we cap them off until the machine arrives.
