progress

As I write Murray Nick and David are out shooting a possum that was keeping Dave awake.

Progressing towards the end now. Digger has been here clearing the drive way to the garage, back filling the deck space and clearing the eastern side for preparation to build up that part of the site.

out from the old to the new - a digger where no digger should rightly be!

Murray came home to check on the detailing of the outdoor fish pond. It is always an odd thing when the suit and tie world meets the dust and work clothes practicality fo the building world.

Having the digger working where the finished and painted surfaces are was nerve wracking.

The weather has been amazingly dry and hot and this has helped manage this last stage. Gib stopper has pretty much finsihed and painters due tomorrow. It does seem as though every tiny step is fraught with error but we can see the end.

Co-ordinating the tiler who is on a tight schedule at another jobĀ  and painters is causing some issues. The kitchen install looks set to be my birthday.
