Kitchen Cupboards Installed

Went back to the site on Saturday afternoon and was happy to find the cupboards installed except for the wall cupboards above the Fridge space. It turned out the Fridge space was not wide enough for the cupboard. We need 1000mm wide for the the space and after everything installed, it was only 960mm left and I bet the Site supervisor wouldn't be happy to see a note from the cupboard installer on the wall - "to be moved".

More Stuff

Thursday, September 23, 2010, Craig gave in when I insisted going to the new house to have a look before picking Kai up for baseball. Guess what we stumbled upon? Half of a trench for electricity connection AND room full of stuff inside the house. Here they are.

We're Officially Locked Up

It's been a long while since I last updated the blog. I've been extremely busy at work, and went to 3 countries within 1 month for work. For someone who has very serious motion sickness, this is not a very pleasant thing. After all these, I am sick as a dog.

There hasn't been a huge progress, but believe it or not, we are officially locked up as of today. We've got walls, doors, bath tubs delivered...blah blah blah... Very happy and words from different tradesmen are we are looking at 4 more weeks to finish and I take that as best scenario and add 2 weeks stuff-ups.

Photo Fest!

Bricks are done and Cables are in

Now that I know Winnie my niece is checking on my progress all the way from Paris, there is more reason for update!

Brickies have finished their job! A good 40th birthday present for Craig - we've got cables yesterday. Although the electrician put the metrebox on the wrong wall, it didn't upset us too much as he's going to move it. A progress is a progress!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

The electrician didn't come as planned, so cable guy is delayed also. Then, we don't have bricks to finish off the house! More to be delivered tomorrow though. Enough of bad news, the good news is "We've got an Entry!". The eave is finishing soon too.

Bricks halfway

Long time no blog. Lots of rain in Sydney didn't help with the building either. We are very happy with our second lot of brickies - husband and wife team from Central Coast and they are really nice. And they are doing a very nice job also. If it keeps dry a another week, we will be able to finish the bricks!

And Electricians are coming in tomorrow morning!
