    We got the keys!!!  Haven't moved in properly yet as the carpets and settees (they fit) are getting cleaned on Monday.  Tuesday I've got deliveries and hopefully by Wednesday we should have our first night there.  I'm meeting the odd job man today to see about plumbing the washer in in the garage.  I couldn't see a water supply anywhere so we'll see what he suggests.  Did get the dishwasher plumbed in as the sink would leak other wise.

    I'm thinking about closing this diary and starting a new one, with all our future plans.
