Today we saw this pipe (with pink covering) going all around the house. Does anyone know why this is installed?

But not much progress otherwise. The progress is now really slow so I…

Does QLD have the Bordeaux 56 or the Bordeaux 56a? I think they may have the Bordeaux56a, with spiral stairs.
The one we…
