...and the timber arrives...

.... this now feels like progress....the timber all in a pile alongside the slab.... I think it arrived on the 23/11/07...the same day as the shed.... and then to see the plastic off and the slab swept clean was another little bit of excitement....

23.11.07

...the shed arrives... finally.... it doesn't look much all piled up in a heap.....but Ian is really excited that its finally here.

.....I wish I had something to report..

...there has been no more progress so to speak......

BUT

Ian's long awaited shed is being delivered today.... AND we received the bill for our back fence.....so thats two house related excitements this week....lol

...new pics

Well.... there isnt much to report...but I took a few more photos at the block this week...so I thought Id share.
... oh...actually there are a few differences....the back fence is up.... and looking very spiffy....which means the porta loo is now sitting on our block instead of the neighbors.....and our power is now connected (or at least we think it is...Pat phoned to check some details as it was being connected)....and we think that our septic tank is sitting there ready to go in.... so thats progress!!

It was funny....the first time we showed Ian's Mum and Dad the slab and its pouring rain.....the only rain we have in months and we had to cut short our tour as we were getting drenched.....but thats ok.


This photo is for you Dad and Mum..... check out all the other houses down the street!!! there are about five with frames up since you were visiting....and that blue wrapped one is what ours would be looking like if I hadn't changed the plan....and you don't think Ian doesn't keep reminding me of that...lol

Just for the record...
Shed is arriving either Wed or Fri next week...
Air Conditioner is ordered...deposit paid
Blinds for all the windows are paid and sitting in our family room...

Have a great weekend...

Mmmm...

...it would seem my little change of the plan...has put us further behind than I first thought.

Ian spoke with Pat yesterday..... and unfortunately our house will now be delayed for a little while longer.... bricklayers are in short supply....and if I hadn't changed the plan...it would have been being bricked about now as our bricks are ready.....but because we changed the plan we missed the bricklayer time slot.... and so now go further down the list....

I can understand this totally....and I'm glad I changed the plan....BUT I'm still disappointed that I didn't change them earlier so that we could have now been seeing bricks go up...

...but it WILL happen.... so back to being patient...

we have a slab!!

I was even lucky enough to catch the concrete being poured.....

...and we nearly have a floor...

Cool!!
