Container booked

The container has been booked to be picked up on Thursday however they came back today and said that the truck is broken. It will be fixed and the container will be picked up on Friday. This will be better for us as the flooring is expected to be done by Friday.

So now just need to organise the curtains and air conditioner. That should be it for us to enjoy the new house.

Then it pours....

So nothing happens then today the house is packed and I get parked in because there are so many cars there today. We had the 3 flooring guys there to continue the sanding, 4 guys there for the liquid limestone, 1 for the security doors and 2 guys fixing the paving. So I had to sit there and listen to them grumble about scheduling this many trades and everyone tripping over each other etc etc But we could not help this as the flooring was suppose to have been completed last week, the paving should have been done 2 weeks ago.

We put the cubby house up on the weekend along with the newly built ramp and platform. They do go together well if I do say so myself! I do need to finish off the handrails though but having it up allowed the limestone guys to set the place in the right place. Also the shade sail poles were put back in. I hope they are in the right place. I checked the concrete set today and it seems 3 bags (60kgs) for the centre pole is not enough and neither are the 2 bags for the smaller poles. I have 4 bags left over so will need to put one more bag into each pole.

Pictures to follow now that we have some progress.
