Shower screen and another quick visit 7 & 8th December

Right, the shower screen was finally ready this week, so I wanted to get it up to Inglewood.  Picked it up on Thursday lunchtime, and then drove up after a quick dinner on Thursday night.

Was unfortunately raining yet again.  In some spots very much pouring, so I needed the windscreen wipers to be on maximum.

Got to Inglewood around 9.30pm, took out what I needed to from the ute, went in, had a quick look a round at Ben's progress, poured myself a glass of wine, and watched an episode of Monarch of the Glen in bed

Wasn't sure what time Ben and co were arriving in the morning - so made sure I was up by 7am.

He arrived around 8.30 or so and took the shower screen bits inside with Andrew and Charlie. Now, because it had rained so much the the ute tarp had leaked a bit, so the boxes of glasses, plates, etc which I had in there for the OPP Christmas party at Ocean Grove got rather wet.  In fact some of the boxes pretty much collapsed. Good thing nothing got broken

Morning, and I was also able to take some quick photos

They had put a few coats of tung oil on the back deck



Andrew and Charlie were sanding the new railings for top veranda


 
And they then had to take off the iron lace again





And of course, more progress with the bathroom - ie more tiling.  But they're waiting on the shower screen, and for Gary to come back and plumb everything in



Have been told that all will be ready for before Christmas hooray.

However, got a call this morning (Mon 11/12) The shower screen was missing a few bits and pieces ie some screws, backing mats etc.  Made me pretty cross,as we'd paid a lot of money for this shower screen - and i would expect that all the bits should be there.  Ben had advised that Stu went into Bunnings - I assume to Bendigo to replace the missing bits and pieces - so I want the shower screen people to pay for his time and the cost of the goods.  We'll see if this happens or not
