Out with the old, in with the new!

And I'm not talking husbands.... hehehe, although I'd be justified because as you all know what men are like when they're sick, and Pete has been sick all week with the flu..poor darling!! What I'm actually referring to is the fact that we aren't having to deal with Michael our site supervisor anymore as he has been replaced with a construction manager, who is actually Michael's boss and therefore must be a lot better. Let's face it though, could he be any worse?
I know it's been over a month since my last update, but that's because during that month there's been nothing much to update with. With that in mind, I couldn't possibly write anything witty like you all expect from me, so there would have only been a lot of things that would have to have been bleeped out, because I haven't been too happy with the progress. Add to that the fact that the house across the road from us has been finished and moved into way ahead of their schedule while we sit here, still waiting, waiting, waiting!
Anyway, on to the good stuff...we were able to get into the house today because some kind person (or idiot) left the front door open..not just unlocked, but wide open! Imagine our surprise when we saw the front door open?! We ran in and my brave husband did a sweep of the house to make sure there were no intruders waiting in the shadows so it would be safe for me to enter. Too late though because I had hightailed it straight into the ensuite to get my first (inside) glimpse at our SPA!! Yes, you read that right...our spa has been installed and it looks fantastic! I just stood there staring at it for a while and imagining lying back drinking champagne and eating chocolates, so I wouldnt have wanted to meet an intruder who would have stood between me and that spa, because I would have been a force to be reckoned with...okay, I would have let Pete deal with it :)
I just walked around the rest of the house with a big smile, picturing us finally moving in because it seems like there's not much else left to do. You can see from the pictures however that someone has a big clean up to do...the tiles are filthy...I mean geeeez, dont workmen think of removing dirty shoes before they enter?! can't they have inside and outside shoes?
We haven't been given any dates as yet because there are still issues with the concreting, but I am confident that will be resolved this week. Good news is the fence has been done on one side.
We did some measuring up today and made sure the office furniture we bought for the study will fit, and it does, so thats a plus..as it's going to look great!
When we left we made sure we locked the front door..wasn't too hard really, just push a button..it's not rocket science..but I guess if a real smarty pants was the last person at the house before we got there today..then we wouldn't have been able to get inside and that would have meant Pete got out of his sickbed for nothing...he was such a trooper! Let's hope now I don't get sick...accchoooo darn it!!
