Bath is out, and a fireplace painted

We had a meeting with the Adelaide City Council Chief Executive, Peter Smith the other day. He has had a complaint from a neighbouring councillor about activity where we are located, and just wanted to know what we were doing, so his PA called us in. That meeting went well, and we have their blessing, but I also have the complaining councillor here for a meeting tomorrow so I get the chance to talk with him personally about the rehab and how it will all be run etc. etc. Hopefully that will filter down through the community and cease any head of steam that may be gathering. (Oh no....contempt prior to investigation!) We are going to have a residents open night anyway, and give them a presentation and have a chat with them prior to our official opening. I think that should stop any nerves. I have to admit though, after the last two somewhat poorly managed efforts that were here some years ago now, which caused some real issues for locals, I cant really blame them for being inquisitive and needing reassurance.  So that is just what we will give them.

I removed the bath out of the bathroom yesterday and spent the rest of the day doing a general & much needed clean up of the site. That took 3 hours on its own! The rubbish pile out the back is getting bigger and bigger....

 No More Bath

Ken has started sanding back paintwork on the skirting boards so they are ready to paint. The tiling will be starting in both bathrooms next week. Then the plastering team will be back after that to completely finish off and sand back, and we are off painting!

I've undercoated the office fireplace, and will paint that black later on. Busy boy....

Good job...even if I do say so myself...

Just had the guys in about the floor, and that quote will be ready tomorrow for us. The sparky starts on Tuesday and is fitting 60 x 15 watt LED downlights. It will look a treat when its all done. Now I can start sanding all of the miles of woodwork for painting. That has to be one of the most boring jobs known to man. Music on full blast and into it then.....
