I had a catch up with our Site Supervisor, Luke, on-site this morning to "formally" inspect the works so far and raise any issues (which I had already noted down). The only semi-serious issue is the location of the slab recess for our ensuite shower drain. For those of you we haven't openly spoken to about our ensuite, we are looking to get one of those long, skinny drains (like you see in a hotel and I have put a picture below) that runs the same length as our niche. However upon reviewing the slab recess for the drain, it appears to be off by quite a bit. Luckily Luke agreed with me and he is seeing to have it rectified. But other than that, everything appears to be in order.

| Our Ensuite Shower Drain |
The timeline for the next few weeks looks something like the below:
- Early next week (Mon - Wed) - rough in for plumbing and gas pipe works
- Later next week (Thu & Fri) - fascias & guttering fixed
- Following Mon - Wed - roof tiles start going on; wall insulation and flashing goes up
- Wednesday/Thursday week - brick work to start
Whilst there will be constant progress, visually it will appear to slow down a bit for the next week or so. However once the roof tiles start going on and the bricks going up, it is going to be a good sight overall.
How much is the long skinny drain cost?
ReplyDeleteAll up, it cost around $1,200 for the ensuite drain.
DeleteIt cost $1200 to upgrade from standard drain to this hotel style drain for just ensuite? Wow!
DeleteYes, just for the ensuite.
