The decision has been made to hook up regardless - although we are now a lot closer to That Letter.
All the trenches were supposed to be dug this week - but - it started RAINING grrrrr. However, the water tanks were installed today, and are hooked to the gutters so at least some of the water will end up in them and not making mud on the ground. There is also a cement slab ready for the gas bottle so I guess that will be making its appearance soon.
At this point, next Monday 16th is The Day for hooking up water and stormwater (for this house only). I don't know yet when electricity and phone will be done but it's also supposed to be next week. Once they are done WE MOVE IN! *excitement*.
Carpets were laid last Monday in the bedrooms and are nice and soft underfoot. I have threatened to kneecap any tradie who dares walk on them in muddy boots. They have no reason to go in the bedrooms anyway. Once I put the blinds up, the bedrooms are finished.
Foxy has also been busy fixing up the, very few, faults in the house. Guess he wants his money :)

cooktop is in. playing with colours for splashback. the one on left is sort of 'it'
Mr Squishy was also delivered on Monday and has been flopped on by everyone. The plastic cover makes him a bit less squishy. I have threatened to take a bucket of water and a candle and go sleep in the new house.

The photos aren't great. It was getting dark and the camera was nearly out of battery.
