On my drive-by this morning there was a lovely pile of brickies sand for the mortar (off white). I was actually expecting white sand, but it's certainly a lot lighter than the yellow sand they use for the 'natural' mortar, so I guess we are pretty safe with the right colour! I was also reassured by some members on the Homeone Forum that their off white mortar sand was this colour too. Thanks girls!!
Later this afternoon I was pleasantly surprised to see that all of the roofing scaffolding had been installed! Just need a delivery of the gutters, fascias and tiles. I'm hoping that will occur tomorrow!
I have been in contact with our CSA at Henley to discuss the missing bar on the awning windows above the garage. She couldn't really offer much of an explanation, other than they will be installed later. I'll keep reminding them!! At least now they are 'officially' aware there is a mistake.
What will tomorrow bring, I wonder!

Yep, keep reminding them. Keep a list! I have a 'mistakes' list, a 'supervisor's incompetencies' list, a 'credits to ask for list', a 'things we have compromised on' list. I add to them daily! A-M xx
Looking great Stormy! You seem well on top of things and I'm sure at the end you'll have the house you've been waiting for ;-)
I think they mix something to the sand to get the off white colour.
Won't be long till we see roof tiles - yay!
Hi Stormy
I hope you get everything worked out with your builder after your latest news. As A-M said, document everything in writing. Whoever said that building your dream home was easy, obviously has never built a house before.

Hi Stormy,
Ours was the same color as well, but the final product is much whiter, specially when they dry on the wall.
