I am also the proud owner of two electricity accounts .. blah. I think Lucinda has a photo somewhere of me actually flipping the main switch and letting the juice flow - well it flowed after a couple of false starts with the surge protectors or fuses or whatever the hell those switches are. We turned on all the lights and fans (not all at once) and everything worked except one bulb in the main bathroom's heat lamp thing; it's not burnt out so probably just needs a wiggle.
What a difference being able to go in there at night! Luckily I have put blinds on most of the windows because in the living area it's a bit like being in a goldfish bowl at night. Those dark tinted doors no longer protect us from the curious eyes of the neighbours. The dining area has a blind too, as of tonight. I am still trying to decide what to put on the big glass doors - everything is so expensive and I have already spent Mr Rudd's money a few times over. Unfortunately the Lotto fairy hasn't visited me.
I probably owe Stephen about a tanker of rum by now - he has put the rangehood up and installed my dishwasher after I was having problems.
The pump for the tank is having a few problems with its solanoid but should be fixed tomorrow or next day. I am still waiting for Foxy to do his thing. I assume he wants his money and I want my house!! My new bed arrives tomorrow for Mr Squishy to lie on and I am tempted to just sleep there tomorrow night, whether I have had handover or not. Which could be a big surprise if any tradies turn up early the next morning - poor dears. :)
Zoe has vacuumed and dusted the three bedrooms, the bathrooms but wasn't touching the toilet after The Incident. So she has all that ready for them to move into their rooms. My room still needs to be done after the bed arrival. I also still haven't put up the Elfa. Or done the Starserve. Was a bit reluctant to drill holes into walls when I didn't officially own it all but that is wearing off very quickly.
The kitchen has mostly been prepared - the drawers have that rubbery stuff that stops things slipping as liners. Fridge in and on; dishwasher installed. I have pantry shelves to do.
Some kitchen piccies with my pretty glass splashback ....... the metallic doesn't show up as much as I thought it would, just makes it sort of changeable in the various lights.
Sink and the Asko dishwasher beside it - can't wait to have that to use every night!
Looking straight through to pantry door - I haven't done the shelves in there yet. They're on The ToDoList.
View from other side showing my nice new fridge. Freaky thing it is - I plugged it in and the clock inside had the right time on it. dododododododo! Rangehood needs cleaning of Stephen's paw prints.
I also have 10 metres of crusher dust to spread out which got added to The Todolist this arvo.
Six weeks ago I fell off the garage slab and buggered my ankle. It's still 'not right' - stairs aren't fun and running is out of the question. Tonight I fell over some left over mesh and made bleedy bits on my shins and hurt the toe I broke a few years ago. This is the other leg to the ankle. I'll need a bloody wheelchair soon!
