And moving right along ... our plumbing is in! Though the only sign is this odd little unidentified white thing-y in the front yard and a now immaculately leveled strip of ground around the front and side of the house.
The font verandah decking is now 99.99% finished. The boy decided that the very final board might have to wait, after a slight error with his calibrated eye due to extreme lack of light. It seems the top of our verandah rails have gone missing somewhere during this process.
Our stove recess now has weatherboards, while our proposed kitchen extension now has none.
The pavers that narrowly missed being demolished during the restump have been revealed in most of their former glory (the bobcat operator did accidentally demolish more than we managed to save).
After much bashing of pavers, we now have the beginnings of a pad for our gas bottles. We wanted natural gas, but would have had to fork out $10 000 to get the existing gas line upgraded as it's currently at capacity already. Um ... thanks but no thanks.
I dropped round in time for lunch and we discovered a hive of native bees living in the leg of the picnic bench in the park over the road. We convene in the park for lunch due to the fact that we only have one plastic chair at Toxteth at the moment.
I also provided paver bashing moral support and tested a couple of additional paint colours.
My little great-nephew dropped by with his mum, dad and older sister. They'll be moving into the a house that was relocated to another part of the original Toxteth block.
And all of this activity was watched over by another future neighbour ... who seems to have developed a taste for KFC. Now how could that have happened?!
