Excavation around the pool and rock placement View from the back (the new 'hill' - the water tank!)

Driveway ... love the shape!

Bikeman and the kids getting their feet wet. Looks so much better down that side with the excess dirt removed, a much more usable area.

We have a real, working toilet!!!

Ok, so perhaps toilets aren't all that exciting for everyone else. But if you'd been using a portable toilet for the last 6 months you'd be excited too! The plumber was in last week, doing all the internal fitoff. We now have: working toilets, showers, basins, sinks! Very exciting to have running water and not have to leave the house to take the kids to the loo. Showers are in but were still waiting on showerheads (have since arrived). Shower screens not up yet. Basin in our ensuite

Toilet

I also finished painting the main living area. Love love love the colour. Not too much longer now.... hopefully....

And while the plumber (Jnr) was busy doing his thing, Dean the Digger made an encore appearance on a hot 36 degree day and set to work flattening the big pile of soil up the back of the house, and moving the soil from the pool dig to the driveway. So we now have (kindof) a driveway - bit more soil needs to go in to make it a bit wider, then concrete, then we'll have a real working driveway. Didn't stop bikeman from driving his car up into the garage the other night though!!!

On the neighbours block looking back towards the back of our block...

The back where the pile of dirt used to reside ... now nice and flat ready for our big 22500 lt tank to be delivered sometime this week.

Pink was creating her very own 'Where's Wally' - every photo I took this little blonde head popped up in and more often than not struck a pose. You can just imagine how dirty her legs were from all the dust at the end of the day!!!
