Our lockup invoice was followed by a concerned accounts department call saying he was worried about the amount (it was the largest he had seen. He hadn't been there long.)
After we had recovered from the shock we thought we would go and see what our money had bought us.
We discovered that the scaffold was down, the brickies were finished, the plaster cornice had been finished, the stairs were being installed and the kitchen cupboards and doors had been delivered.
Starting to look like a real house now.
Our SS believes we should set ourselves up for a February hand over given the three weeks off scheduled over Xmas - but we will wait and see.
Our build tends to go in leaps and bounds and then stops for a week which can be very frustrating.
So the next couple of weeks should see the installation of the kitchen cupboards, fixing completed and the framers returning to build the roof to the garage and alfresco. ..and hopefully a site clean as the place looks like a bomb has hit it!
We have also managed to put aside a hundred plus bricks for our letter box which DH will be building.
We will try to be a bit more regular with our blogs from now on...

Hey gang, it all looks gorgeous - LOVE your staircase, can't wait to see the s/s balustrades :-)
Thanks Petal
You know how much trouble we went through to get them! Hope it will all be worth it with the final product!
Hi guys, at the exciting stage seeing the staircase in and cabinets soon! Can't wait to see the balustrades in too!
How quick? Wasn't so long ago you had an empty paddock..! Over half way already.
Keep that blog updated, particularly as you aren't too far behind us.
G&V, great progress, the stairs and balustrade look really good. February they say, that will be great if it happens I expect.
R&C
