The calm before the storm

While it doesn't feel like anything is moving to quickly at the moment, in about a week all hell is going to break loose (I'm big on the cliches recently, will have to get myself some new material :)).... The frame is due to arrive the week after Easter, along with: - Windows - Bricks - Pest Control - Lintels (metal bars to hold the bricks above the windows) - Front door, garage door and frame (not roller door, other door) and laundry door Not to mention that the chippie, sparky, plumber, brickie and Mr Termite will all be paying us a visit within the next couple of weeks. And of course the famous Bikeman will be flexing his muscles moving about some shiver me timbers. Now as long as they all arrive in the RIGHT order we'll be fine..... hmmmm! At least now we have a meter box for our electricity and real, working electricity for the chippie! And we have running water - nearly enough to just put up a tent and start living there now! Apart from the fact that with the huge downpours in the last few weeks there has been a bit of scouring out of dirt around the slab, which we need to fix pronto - our next job for this weekend! Some 'boxing out' apparently. Whatever that means, although I have been assured it doesn't involve boxes. Or even bits of wood. Just dirt. I learn something new every day!
