Ad like that it’s done! Well, almost.
The week starts with the mad rush to clean everything to allow the floor sander full access. By Monday afternoon he has sanded once. The two man team makes quick work of the 130 square metres. By Tuesday they have a sealer coat and one coat of polyurethane.
The floor is looking amazing.
By Wednesday it is done. We have to try and keep cats and dogs off it for a couple of days to allow it to harden. Our animals are not impressed with their lock out. But the weather is perfect. 25 degrees and sunny days and warm evenings. They’ll cope with the temporary situation.
Then like a whirlwind Chris and his team are back on Thursday and Friday to finish everything that needs finishing. Floor trims to cap he edge of the floors go in, more door locks and door catches go in. The splashback in the pantry, the pantry door, painters arrive to do touch ups here and there. This is where you really see Chris’ project management skills kicking in. The amount of trades doing the last little bits over a two days period is astonishing.
By Friday late afternoon we are cracking a few beers and celebrating the job as finished. Now when we say finished, we have a perfectly functional kitchen with every done. But there are a few small jobs that need to wait until next year. We picked some light fittings that were out of stock, we are waiting on some furniture to arrive and of course we need to unpack and fill our kitchen with our stuff. But for the most part, Chris and his team have done a wonderful job. We could not be happier with the finish and Chris and his team. If you ever want to renovate or build a house, give CJC constructions a go, you won’t be disappointed.
We also had the floors in other parts of the house finished with Jarrah hard wood once the main renovation was completed.
