We are now technically at the "half-way mark" of our house being built. And it has coincided in reaching the dreaded, but inevitable stage called.......LOCK UP!!!
Wednesday afternoon, Karlee and I went out for a routine visit (after the trades had all gone home) not realising it would be our last walk though our house until practical completion (notwithstanding an unlocked window or door of course!). We are assuming it has to do with items that are being delivered and locked up inside our house because on Thursday (when I realised we were locked out), there were internal doors, a front door, kitchen sink and bathroom basins as well as all our skirting and architraves spread throughout our kitchen and dining room. At least they are safe & sound I guess!
Anyhow, the next week should be full of activity given what is now inside our home, ready to be installed as well as the external eaves and cedar cladding, which has also been delivered into our Garage.
I am also meeting a couple of landscapers on-site this week - the first one tomorrow afternoon and the second one on Wednesday morning. Hopefully one of these two will provide me with decent service and prices after the debacle that was our previous landscaper........if you need a landscaper, DO NOT USE "TUFF YARDS"!!!!! They very unresponsive after the initial quote and deposit was received to the point that I was calling them 4-5 times per week, leaving messages, sending emails and no-one would get back to me. Luckily I persisted long and hard enough to receive our deposit back and now we have the joy of trying to find another landscaper. Fingers crossed!
