The Skinidin project is nearing completion! Last week Magnet was busy installing the kitchen and the majority of floor tiling has been done. There’s still some plumbing left to do: bathrooms, toilets and drainage. Furthermore the internal doors, the outside painting and the access ramp has to be constructed.
An completion date of the 15th of December has been agreed upon with James and by that date the house will be occupied to finish of minor jobs and see whether there are any issues remaining which James should fix. As there’s no phone connection yet to the house, updating this site from the house will be quite impossible. So, updates to the site with new build information will be sparse for the coming weeks.
For now, enjoy the pictures Jon made on the 17th… The first one is the kitchen with the work area, the cooking island and the breakfast bar. The hood is from AEG and is designed in such a way that you have no chance of hitting your head against it. The second one is the kitchen with the fridge and the ovens built in. The last one is the lounge completely tiled but not yet grouted.

After a couple of weeks of silence, some new updates on the internal proceedings. The painter has finished the first stage of his work and the tiler is now busy laying the tiles. The first picture shows the top part of the chimney, completely smooth and painted. The second one shows the lower part of the chimney and the room ready to be finished with floor tiles. The last one shows the first rows of floor tiles in the hallway. The tiles are South African Blue Slate. They have been cleaned and sealed before they’re being layed. Afterwards they will be sealed a second time. The sealing process makes them stain resistant.
