Is it now we should be reporting torture and doom? We know you want to live vicariously and hear all the tales of woe from living with the in-laws and dealing with builders. So we are sorry (although we aren't) that we actually can't report much trauma from recent months. There's been a few bits and pieces that have come up which we didn't expect (eg the look of Hebel internally) but overall it's been OK.
We are officially two months behind schedule with no penalties to apply. This is mainly because of the wet weather last year. Now we have a roof the rain shouldn't be so much of an issue. Jenny is having stern words with her Bureau colleagues - surely they can manage the weather for us?
Our neighbours have generously headed off around Australia for six weeks so we are housesitting and have the pleasure of living next to our very own building site. Not long after they get back, we are going to housesit our neighbours house on the other side of our place.
The main challenge of the next month is to keep the five chickens, two rabbits and eight goldfish alive.
