Blue

That is one big roof I keep thinking. It's looking bluer now.




*Today the windows were all put in and the sliding doors are in place but not fixed properly.






The front - garage on left and my bedroom on right; you can see through window where my bed will be ! (mental note: curtains/blinds/shutters would be handy)

*The phone line has been run from outside wall to where the hub will be (that was an easy job for Telstra!)

*The bathtub is in place - man, it's a teensy bathtub! Not exactly glass of wine, candles and bubbles.

The gas guy is coming tomorrow. Plasterer is next week and the brickie as soon as he get here. Floor tiles also arrive tomorrow as well as the Soundscreen batts I've ordered - to be put between living areas and bedrooms mostly. Another part of my weekend job.

They are aiming for pre Christmas finish - possibly as early as another 6 weeks or so!!

Fire and rain

Fire - electrical rough in has been done.
Rain - plumbing rough in has been done.

I also have a bathtub, windows and half a roof. It is supposed to be a whole roof but the roofing guys - well, let's just say they've been a little tardy but now all is well and the roof is getting up there. The windows are stacked up near the fence so I hope nothing lands on them in the expected windy conditions tonight.

Sadly the camera has run out of oomph so no photos until tomorrow.

The electricians turned up at 5.40am! I did a 'little' revision of the electrics - added about 20 powerpoints, a heap of downlights (fluoros) and surge protection for the whole house. I forgot about fairy lights for the garden apparently. Now I sit and wait for the extras bill - again. Have already upgraded to anticon blanket and different internal doors. I figure that anything that will be hard/expensive to do later, should get done now. Even if I don't get my new lounge suite :( and my old bed isn't really the reason I wake up stiff and sore.

Now I have to draw a wiring diagram for the network, tv and phone cables. I'm so sleepy. And I have to do a SQL test sometime before Sunday night too. eerrrrkkkkkkk
