23. Rain, Rain Go Away, Come Again Another Day! (please)

Well just our luck that this year decides to be the wettest Perth winter in recent history. 
I guess it is selfish to complain as we certainly need the rain but I just wish it would rain at night time and give us clear daytime skies!

Monday was the big day that the team started rendering with the texturecoat, an exciting delevopment for us! 
(FYI: Dulux Hog Bristle 200%) 
Unfortunately Mother Nature wasn't in on this plan and so with constant drizzle, the guys had to pack up and head home. 
The inside of the garage is done so at least we can see how the colour looks (very happy with this choice) but unfortunately this means a delay, for not only this team, but also the guys doing the frieze, electrical work and external plumbing. 
We have had a few other hold ups since my last post so not much in the way of news to report.
Our kitchen was meant to be installed last week but unfortunately the doors were the wrong ones..this has delayed the tiler, plumber and electrician as well.
"This is building" I am told.
The doors have now arrived at the Justin, cabinet maker's and we should have a kitchen by Wednesday..fingers crossed.  
 Can't wait to see the kitchen sink!


Laundry and pantry tiling now done, apparently the grouting will be finished when the kitchen goes in. 
( I am already drooling over the linen cupboard, can't wait to unpack!)

The bathroom tiles are done too!  


Craig trying out the bath, hahaha..he will kill me if he sees this pic but luckily he doesn't read this blog so will never know. (Imagine an evil laugh here)  Sssssssssssssh don't tell him!

Waiting on taps etc to finish off the bathrooms now.   I think this should all happen next week.
We have bought all of our plumbing stuff from Beri Distributors, Port Kembla Drive, Bibra Lake. 
Ask for Chris and tell him Linda sent you....(he may try and hide but trust me he is very patient!)


We are starting to get a little excited and even impatient now as crowding is a definite reality at our current abode, adding to this the owners have had a change in their situation and would like to move back in asap.

.
The loungeroom with chairs, beds, lights, hotwater system, boxes of linen, a table, a fridge, saucepans, piano, fireplace mantle and more...just about everything except the kitchen sink!
(This has gone to the cabinet maker now)

We still can't pin down an actual handover date until the weather clears and the outside can get done, but we are probably about 4 week away from the big move! 

Stay tuned...this is going to be a BIG week.
