Though the list of jobs seems endless (tiling, painting, paving, landscaping, fences, gutters, downpipes and so on, and so on), the big jobs are done.
The house is moved. The driveway is down. The stormwater is in. I can't tell you how good this feels - a big weight has been lifted.
Now the race is on to get the house finished, ready for subdivision within the next few months. I don't feel like we can move at any other pace than fast. It's not like I would imagine most house renovation jobs: done in stages, one thing at a time - this needs to get DONE.
My Dad (a.k.a miracle worker) completed 90% of the decking prior to going back home. We just need to finish some of the footings and the top decking. Check out how it's looking!
The rain this last week has made things a bit soggy, including the carpet in 2 bedrooms, one wall and some treasured possessions but everything seems to be drying out - and gutters will make a huge difference once we have them installed (they've officially moved up the list of priority items).
Hopefully it will be dry enough this weekend to do some more work on the deck and pathways. If it rains, it's painting and tiling inside. Plenty to do, there's no shortage of jobs.
