Day 225 (Week 33) [+1]

With the contract build time technically completed and some work still to be finished, it is a little disapointing that they have taken this long to construct the house. it is not that far from completion but still they had enough time where rain days should not of made a difference




Some Stats over the 32 week Build

Rain Days = 16 (including 2 Sundays)
Days Worked on Site = 82
Days not worked on Site = 107
Public Holidays = 4
Sundays = 31 (they actually worked on 1 sunday too)

Onto Today......The tilers returned to site and they started on the wall tiles.. tiling the wals in the upstairs ensuite
