Day 250 [+26]
Today saw the Plumbers return to site and install the bathtubs... if you can call what they did installing them.. the bathtups do not fit into the whole that was created for them.. something else for them to fix up.....
Brickie was also onsite setting up for monday to brick the top of the columns up. if the Carpenter fixed the problem... (doesnt look like they did as they still seem to be off.)

Day 248 [+24]
Not alot done during the day today, the carpeters (6 of them) arrived late afternoon (5pm) to fix a problem with the timber support beams on our balcony, apparently they were off centre and it is preventing the brickies from continuing the column up.
What concerns me is why was this not picked up months ago when the columns where first bricked up??
It does make me wonder what other problems there are with the house that have been missed
