WATER APPEARS INSIDE & OUT

So we have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we have finished the pool tiling and cleaned the pools and started to fill the pools with water, the bad news is we also have water outside coming down from the heavens and affected the external works. However generally the progress has been good especially internally where most of the finishes have been done and the pools now ready to fill. The carpark works and landscaping are affected by the rain and progress has been slowed. All in all Mark & Tommy have done a great job in keeping somewhere near on time.

FEBRUARY RAINS AFFECT PROGRESS

Unfortunately the first couple of weeks of February have bought along unwanted rain to the site and affected the external works in particular, especially the OSD detention tank. Inside the works are proceeding with the wall framing and linings moving along well. Also the services are proceeding well with the Mechancial Services and Filtration systems both having major components delivered and installed.
