Our faith has been restored

Happy to report some good news. We have amicably resolved our staircase issue with PD, thanks to the efforts of "T" and thankfully some good, old fashioned common sense from all involved. Our staircase will proceed as planned and our SS has advised the alterations shouldn't hold up the build too much as he can work around them. Thanks for all your support and helpful hints with this issue. ..and thanks to PD for resolving the issue so professionally.

Slight prob with the tiles now unfortunately. We all know Urban Earth has been discontinued but our administrator had assured us she had some of the last stock put aside for our use. Unfortunately, now the time has come to lay the tiles, it seems someone has taken the last of the Urban Earth - no special little stockpile for the Gang! So we may now have to find a replacement tile. Our administrator is on the job trying to find exactly where National Tiles have lost our stock pile. Has anyone seen it?

That's all for now really - other than our SS has told us the internal scaffolding was put up today to finish off the plaster work in the foyer.

Will post some pics once we can get back in the house.

Hi G&V. It seems most of us have suffered from a pre-selected tile suddenly becoming unavailable.
I remember the day we got our parcel from NT with a replacement sample inside. Being a guy, I was quick to shrug the shoulders and accept the replacement, but needless to say wife was a little more stressed over the whole matter..! Turned out fine in the end.

Hi G&V,
Good news about the stairs.
Yes, I was one of those who chose Urban Earth tiles for all the ensuites, only to be told it was discontinued and replaced with Banur Earth. No stock-pile for us!

When I looked at the sample of the Banur Earth tile, it lacked the slight "white-wash" of the Urban Earth, which may not mean much on a tiny sample, but when it's laid across a large area, it would definitely be noticable. I went for Sandstone Bone in the end - a much lighter tile.

I wouldn't be surprised if your Urban Earth stock-pile gets delivered to our place :o
Will let you know.

Cheers
Liana
