sunday 3rd June

To my surprise the painters turn up at 8am on a Sunday, we are around looking at the enormous pool of water that has accumulated overnight, up over the first brick,but only slightly into the alfresco eeekkk! off to buy a shovel and dig more for it to flow away. They show me they have the right colour hooorah! and at 5pm this afternoon they are still there, I can see the walls of the garage are painted but it's rained so no external painting. Not sure when they will return.It's now too dark to peak in and see anything. We met out neighbour from accross the road in the Masterton Home, he still works in Sydney and will commute til he finds a job, his familyWife with a 9yr old boy and 6 yr old girl will move up once the floors are done. We met the lady from the Coral home up the street who just moved in and she told us her builder smashed down part of a wall because it was crooked, but from what we can see it looks far worse now and the mortar doesn't match! And the two McDj families moved in this week too. Must be our turn soon....
