Very heavy rain all day, hence the rain spots on the camera lens and the lights on inside at 3pm – and a mini lake on the driveway
Good progress with various of the internal snagging items and the installation of the remaining stair end-caps and the last of the oak for the glass balustrades

Week 56, Day 5:

Further preparing the retaining wall foundation trenches for concrete, including installing shuttering and reinforcing mesh for the concrete steps
Commissioning the Mira Platinum Digital Shower Controls
- There had been some concerns whether these might interfere with each other, since there are a total of 7 shower controls and the instruction manual only mentions 5 different radio channels
- However, it seems the controllers are individually “paired” with the valves, so they do only control the corresponding valve. The different radio channels are in case something else is found to interfere with the radio signal.

Week 56, Day 5

Footings and reinforcing mesh for stair pad ready for concrete
