windows....bricks and wiring...

...I haven't updated for a few days and so much has happened.... first the mad rush to buy tap fittings as the plumber was installing the shower taps ect....I hadnt even given thought to whether I wanted taps or mixers..... so as they say....." a quick decision is a good decision"....and we have mixers!
The plumbers finished up yesterday I think..... all the pipes are in....the shower fittings....the outdoor taps..... you name it....its plumbed. Once that was finished they used a bobcat to level the site and fill the trenches......it looks so flat and clean there now.

....the next bit of excitement yesterday was the windows were in....and we are really pleased with them.....they slide well....and look neat.....very happy!
...then this morning the bricks were delivered.....and I met the electrician at 8am to work out all the power point placements.... that isn't as easy as you imagine either....there is lots to consider.
so it was exciting tonight to walk through and see all the wiring snaking its way through the walls....and the kids role played their rooms.....imagining where they would have their beds...and how close to the power points and fan controls they would be.

Then it was time for a quick site clean before it got dark.....this is our neighbors house in the background.....she would be very excited as the brickies and painters are at her house today.
...so I think that is about all the progress this week to date.... and it is really taking shape now... ohh...and the brickies begin next week....our roof is ordered...and our tank is ordered....I guess it will soon be time to choose our kitchen....tiles....bathroom fittings....who knows?
