  • Today at my house we have a born-again stonemason and a born-again electrician.

    Will I see the light, and will my house be built upon the rock??

    I'm good thank you, your package arrived today aswell - thank you so much.

    I bet your house doesn't feel like your own at the moment, will be worth it though.

  • That was quick! Bravo Royal mail.

    It really doesn't feel like ours, we love Sundays which are about the only day we have to ourselves.

    Still can't moan, they're nice people and working hard.

    Just found out we have to get Western Power in to move the electrickery. Bum.

  • Western Power, major thumbs up to them!

    We now have most of the lighting in place but we haven't ordered a kitchen yet...

    Asbestos removal tomorrow.

    Got soaked walking the dog...it's terrible weather here.

  • It's gone (praise God) we are all home, I'm exhausted with all the adrenaline draining away (not that it really does, but poetic licence!).

  • We have pretty much no kitchen. Jobs still to do
    • get ceiling paint
    • pay for tiles
    • get electrician back
    • get building control back to sign off
    • order DW
    • order FRIDGE/FREEZER
    Should keep me out of trouble:D
