Let's All Say...

DUHHHH!! I knew...well we knew that we were right all this time. The ensuite window is wrong and is in the wrong position. I mean how hard is it to read those really confusing plans. If Pete and I can..anyone can! And we aren't even special plan readers, ie architects or engineers..but we knew...ohhhh we knew from the very minute we reached the top of the hill and looked down at the house all those weeks ago! You see, we wanted the window to sit at the top of the spa, so that I or Pete or we (giggle) could look out and see what will eventually be some lovely fernery, or private garden area..which would also be hard at the moment because the silly special plan readers missed that bit of info and gave us a opaque (fuzzy glass) window when it should have been clear. So, just say the house was done now..I, or Pete, or we (giggle again) would be sitting in the spa, staring at the tiles on the wall, because the window is not clear and it is too high up right now. Anyway, our brilliant site supervisor, after weeks of phone calls from Pete, finally agreed yesterday that the window does in fact need to be moved..so let's all say duhhhhhh.
Okay, so today we were a little disappointed with the fact that the brickwork hasn't been finished, but there was still a fair bit that had been done. The whole back wall has been finished, the alfresco is almost done and the portico has been started, so we can see how the pillars are taking shape. We really do love the bricks, so Pete gets a pat on the back for picking them..who's a clever boy then?! I took control of the plans and the tape measure and after I figured out how to work it (thanks Simon!) I measured the outside wall to see just how far up, or down as the case may be that the window will have to be moved. It looks like 3 rows of bricks will have to be taken out *gulp*..but if the brains of the team, aka Michael the site manager, had realised there was a mistake with this window when it was first put in, then it would have been easy to fix..but noooooo..he is only a man after all haha I will just have to have faith that this will be fixed and lockup stage will still be reached by Easter, which is what we were told last night by the oh so clever Michael (who's just a man afterall) or else, I wont be paying them. Ahhh the power of a woman who is in charge of the finances!!! Oh yeah, one more thing..looks like the telephone cable has been installed. Maybe if I'd had that there a few weeks ago, I could have called someone about that damn window right away!! haha
