Frame pretty much complete but a minor stuff-up

The frame is pretty much complete now and the bricks have arrived but we have had a minor stuff-up by the builder. The site supervisor called last week to tell us where we wanted some external taps was not a suitable location because there was no space, so we told him to move the taps to the lounge/meals wall junction. If that location was not OK, then call us back and we would advise another location. Unfortunately it appears the taps were instead placed on the rumpus wall exactly where we plan to put the BBQ. Hopefully, this mistake can be rectified quickly.

We're not sure why the plumbing is done before the brickwork. Now the brickie has to brick around the plumbing rather than the plumber just drilling a hole through the brickwork.

Anyway, here are some pictures of the progress:
The taps originally were supposed to be to the left of the window in the centre and because there was not enough room on the corner, we asked for the taps to be put between the window in the centre and the window to the right.


You can see the recycled tap (purple tube) between the two windows on the left. There is another town water tap there obscured by the fence. This position is not where we wanted the taps.
