The house is ours. Handover was this afternoon and we are really pleased with it (apart from the wall in the bedroom that somehow missed a topcoat, but they are coming back to fix that next week). The grounds are another story - record rainfall has prevented the digger getting on site to do some earthmoving, so there's a retaining wall, deck and fences still to be done.
We are in the throes of last minute packing and the truck arrives shortly after 8 am tomorrow. I have already moved 4 carloads of orchid plants in today - not trusting them to strangers!. We have got to the stage where there is just messy bits and pieces to do, and none of the boxes left are the right sizes. We just fixed a loose trim on a cupboard door and I managed to superglue my thumb to my jersey, so now I've got blue fluff on my thumb. I'll be glad when tomorrow is over!
The phone and internet are not connected yet at the new house, so it might be a while before you get the next update. Must go, boxes to pack, thumbs to be de-fluffed!
