I'd always hoped that we would have moved in to our new house in time for my birthday and we would've loved for friends to come along to a party in the new house. However, the kitchen won't be ready in time and the upstairs carpets will miss the deadline by 24 hours.
The idea of taking this coming Friday as a day off from work in order to perform the lift and shift of all our worldly possessions just can't happen. At least, not entirely.
Moving over the course of the weekend still might be possible, though that would mean moving on my birthday - some birthday celebration, eh?
That said, no fault can be assigned to our builder who has been brilliant. Internally, we merely have the floor tiles to be laid, wooden floors to be laid and some minor electrical tests. Externally, we have a bit of paving to do and a driveway to be laid. All of these tasks are still on target - apparently.
The paving and steps around the house look terrific so far:
Obviously there is a lot of dust around, but it should give you an idea of how it is coming along. The path at the back looks like this:
And internally, our wood burning stove has turned up and has been installed. Try to forget the cement mixer sitting in front of it:
So this day next week - I'll be 40 and we may be in our new house!
