I'm Back :)

Been overseas since mid-Feb and came back 19th of March but didn't really had the chance to sit down and post some updates. During my absence hubby has been diligently visiting our site and updating me through Facebook. I can't believe how fast this is turning out to be - I was pleasantly surprised to come back to a fully erected frame! And today 5th May 2012, we were welcomed with contractors doing the internal painting (first coating) on overtime. How good is that?! At this point we are in the locked up stage    having completed the following stages - roofing, brickwork, windows, guttering, installation of internal linings and kitchen cupboards (excl bench top), ceramic tiling, installation of bathroom cupboards (excl bench top), start of painting. I intend to update my timeline in the next posts with pictures without the rubbish, i.e. my nonsense stories (teehee!).

I would also like to share that during this time we have met some of our nice neighbours and get to chat with them for quite a bit. Our neighbour on the right side is about to move in the next few weeks and they had consulted us about the fencing. We were also planning on the same EZY clip fencing so that was really easy breezy. Taking our cue from our neighbour, we have also started contacting our other neighbours (left side and behind) and proposed the same fencing. To our delight, the left-side neighbour quickly replied with a YES! Indeed love begets love hehe. We are just basically waiting for the neighbour at the back to reply, which is understandable because they haven't started the build yet.

I am happy to say that up until today there is no major hiccup with our construction and I hope and pray that it will be a smooth ride until the completion. We've just met with our SS Peter and we are comfortable that he is looking after our interest. He wouldn't give us a completion date but with the rate it's going, we are hoping it's end June latest :). Our flooring installation is scheduled on 20th May so if all goes well, I'm confident that we will be on target. 

Enjoy the timeline/pictures in the next few posts....
