still waiting

Still waiting on all the little things to be fixed and tidied up...Still gardening....

1st walk through attended

last Friday we did the first walk through, I found a couple of extra things to add. Should take approx a week than another walk through then it's the wait for admin again to get final paper work ready and for us to pay up, I hope this is faster than previously.
Sat the painters turned up to fix all the cosmetic stuff and I was horrified to see them cleaning their rollers on the brick work of the house, I thought surely they must know what they are doing and will clean up properly but NO! now I have a white wash of paint stains on my dark red/brown bricks. When I told Dan he said when he was a painter it was an absolute NO NO.....Not happy, funny how one idiot can let down an entire team!
And Dan fixed his retaining wall while I planted a tiny hedge : )

We have started landscaping

The fencing came down and there is no stopping us, shed arrives later this week, Tyrells report today...Looks like Keys in about 3 weeks!

99.9% complete

Today my lovely Site Supervisor Paul met me at the house so the Shutter Man could come and measure up. Only 8 weeks til they arrive and don't ring him before because there is no fast boat from China...fair enough, got them from Terrace Blinds and the price was very reasonable.

All that needs doing now is wardrobe and pantry shelving and the reports and tidy up, this is the slow painful part looking at a completed house and wanting to move in. Oh and all the appliances come right before handover.

This week the carpet will be completed (5 day delay as they measured it incorrectly) and the safety fencing will disappear, then it's reports and tidy up.
