Time is close

Well we are nearly there, I the Optimist and Mel the Pessimist and we are both saying different times that we are going to be in. I am saying this week and Mel doesn't think that that will happen. Time will tell! Rain has halted the progress of our fences and should still be completed by the end of the week, we need some dry days so the driveway dries and then we can unload all of our stuff inside. No Photo's as yet as not much has changed since last report, just the little things.

It's not a light, the tunnel opening is near!

No Pictures today because we didn't take any photo's when we went inside our house for our inspection. I will say that the work that has been done in our house has been of a High standard and the Jared (site supervisor) has done a great job with our house, not only has he kept us informed through the whole process he has answered all our queries in a quick and timely manner. Only once was a job put on hold because of our query relating to skirting board design and that was rectified within 24hrs and the job was back on.
Jared has a small list of issues to resolve but they won't take long to complete. Being our second house we spent more time going through every room looking up at the ceilings and then the corners then the walls then the skirts then the floors then the doors; you understand what I mean. It was a good feeling to look around and not find anything to serious. We also took into consideration that we do have 3 months after handover to find any issues that we might have. Excitement does effect your eyesight and because you don't usually see through the house of a nighttime you might not see what the lights in your house highlight!
Fences have been organised with one neighbour and our other fence should be sorted soon with our other neighbour. We then have to organise our driveway, we are using crushed rock as a base with a lily dale topping as the top product. This will keep us for a while until we save for concrete or something similar.
Inside we have organised our tiles and Tiler to come in after handover which won't be to far away. Around 4 days it should take to complete then we will be able to start moving in and then that fun will begin with our front and back yard and then and then and then and then. No I don't stutter but that is how my list of tasks are stacking up. We are looking forward to the challenge ahead.
The boys have started an induction program with Exford primary School, where they spent a few hours with the kids that they will be in class with next year and they also met there new Teachers.
Next time I will have photo's of inside the house, we might be in? well we have to pay our final bill before we can move in! Like our heading states, we can not only see the light we can see the tunnel opening.
