Baulked, not caulked

Unscheduled visit from Michael (kitchen) on Thursday. We chose a brown-gold for the splashbacks, which works well with the wooden shelves and the formica on the benchtops. But the current fashion in kitchen colours is neutral, white, off-white, greys. So although there is a caulk that comes in a colour called mustard which is almost a perfect match, 'they' don't stock it and it will have to be ordered in. Which one might think could have been worked out a couple of weeks ago when we specified the colour for the glass, but one would be wrong. So it will be at least a week before the mustard caulk will arrive from 'them' and we remain unsealed until then.
Renderers came Friday. We queried the colour of the render which was supposed to match the window frames and they cheerfully told us that the job isn't finished - that's just the base coat. Correct colour will come with the final coat. Hopefully next week.
Waiting for last things continues.
