We have had some Continuity of work.....

Finally, we have had some continuity with the workload at the new house. About bloody time we have some flow of trades..... This is starting to take shape and looking good for the 21st November final inspection and handover...... Yippppeeeee.......
The painters have been going now non stop, since the 30th October. It looks like the inside painting has been finished and started now on the outside. I went up this morning and we had the tilers start doing there thin as well.
Here are some pics below.....

As long as we're in before we have to be out of here, we'll be happy! How exciting, ey?! Looks like these two little ducks and their families will be spending their first Christmas in their new houses this year!!!! Yee haa!!!!!
