Under a Week to Go

Wow how did we get to this point.  Friday Night and we move in next Thursday.  The place is still a building site and there seems to be a million things to do but stuff is happening thick and fast.  Today (Friday was probably one of the busiest days on record since we started this madness. Dave the plumber was there finishing off all the external connections.  We filled the septics with water and then the council health Inspector came through and inspected and passed them.

John the electrician was there starting the final electrical fixing.

Philip the paver and his French backpacker off sider started on Monday and continued on with the paving.  They have made great progress.

The 2 multi-trade specialists Brett and Melinda were there building Nan's kitchen and supervising all the other works.

Some chap who's name I instantly forgot was there fitting carpets in Nan's end.

Parking was at a premium.

During the week Chris the carpenter paid us a visit and finished all the skirting boards, architraves and window reveals.  Throw in to that he also helped us fit the laundry/scullery bench and cut out the two sink holes.  Bench tops are expensive and cutting holes in them is pretty scary stuff.

Bench tops look amazing (ignore the dust) and match the tiles(hidden by the plastic) perfectly

Chris Cutting in the hole for the Sink

I got scared and called in the expert.  Stuffing up on this bench top would be an expensive mistake.
