Clarendon are happy with me using their tiler.…

Hi Lozsyd,
The house has only started being constructed. But I’ve put a hold on the tiles. It definitely worked out cheaper than going through the builder.
Check out Dada tiles in…

Work on the frame started yesterday. It should be complete in about two weeks according to the site supervisor. The first inspection of the slab and frame will occur once…

Thanks TiredHalo. It wasn't too difficult to get them to agree to the changes. There were some initial issues but once we got through to the right person Clarendon agreed…
