And yes that's an external door frame sitting on our bench... Here is the second bathroom This is our ensuite, it's hard to get photos to show it properly Builder rang yesterday and said the timber floor is booked to be laid this week so should be good We noticed that our bathroom plumbing is wrong, both showers and the bath are meant to have flick mixers instead of individual taps, so will be interesting to see how the builder is going to resolve this considering tiles are on the wall now Just have to wait and see 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have fun with all thw water in ya bathroom lol We still get a shower screen you know... It still has a fall to the drain, it's not flat Also I know the tiles are gonna have to come off, just pissed how long it's gonna take before the builder notices their mistake We are not meant to go into the building site and look around, so I can't exactly ring them up and tell them what I have noticed Here is a pic of the shower waterproofing, there is aluminium angle around the edge, then sand/mortar is poured in and a fall created to the centre Then water proofing membrane seals it all up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit Just remembered we did walk in there and report things way before the tiler stage, because we caught the ensuite window and bath being installed at an incorrect height. Would have saved them money getting it earlier, not to mention the time. If they were being pricks about things it might have been a different story. You don't want them to be able to blame any damage on you and charge you to rectify. Can't remove this quote box no matter how many times I click on the arrow box and try to delete it.

Heaps of small mistakes easy to fix, but the tap problem is gonna be a lot of rework for them Might try negotiate something extra for the trouble, but don't like my chances 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
