Week 14

This was an interesting week! Paul decided awhile ago that he would put the stormwater drainage in himself. It seemed a simple job of just digging a few trenches and popping in the pipes. Hah!
Nothing is ever like it seems!
Anyway to cut a long story short - Paul and our very kind friend, Tom dug and dug and dug and dug and dug and dug and dug and dug and dug and dug and dug and dug and dug............... You get the point?
They dug from sun up to sun down with very little progress. Poor Paul ventured back the next day to dig a bit more...
In the end, he filled the trenches in and paid someone to do the job!

The only room I can spy through the windows is my kitchen which has arrived and is in place ready to be fitted. Looks good to me!

Week 12 & 13: Lock UP and more!

This week sees us at "lock up"! It is what it is!!!
The doors and windows are in and the house is officially "locked up"!
Good news that we're progressing so fast but bad news because we can't actually get in to wander around inside anymore - boo! You'd think they'd give the owners a key to come and go as they please - since we are "the owners". Apparently that's not how it works....

The cladding on the front portico has also been added and without further ado I would like to present to you.............




WAIT FOR IT...............









MY FRONT DOOR!!!!!!!!!

TA DA!!!!!

There she is.....
I shall refer to her as a girl since she's sooo beautiful

Enough rambling......I'm only about 4 weeks behind with the build progress!
