Belated house update from 21 Dec

The house progress has been very exciting.  I keep forgetting to take the camera out with us to get photos though so haven’t updated you all.

After everything was finally delivered the brickie has done a wonderful job.  He has done about 3/4 of the external walls up to window height. 

It has been great to drive past the end of the street in the morning and see his car there and then past in the afternoon and see how much he has done.  He cleans as he goes and there is no mess left at the end of the day, just another lot of wall.

Some of you will have got the Christmas letter and seen the progress up until the Tuesday before Christmas.  For those of you that didn’t, here it is.  

 He finished up on Thursday for his Christmas break and we think he will start back on Monday 7 Jan.   Fingers crossed.  This is where it is at from Fri 21 Dec.   

We’ve also been doing a bit of looking around for the new furniture we are going to need for the new house.  As it is soo much bigger there are a few things we are going to need.  We thought we had found the two units that we will need to put in the recesses in the lounge and dining room but they wouldn’t fit in the back of the van.  Surprise Surprise!  We were actually surprised cos the van is huge!! 

We will keep looking though.  The plan is to buy the stuff now while we have some spare money as there won’t be a lot, if any, when the twins are born.
