All I Want For Christmas Is My House Locked Up...

Today marks 3 months since our site start and 1 year since receiving our initial tender from Wisdom. We've come a long way but still have a number of months to go before we get to experience the excitment of the first night in our brand new home.

The weather is not being kind to us and the forecast for the next few weeks is ugly. Apparently it was the wettest November in 7 years!

We aren't too far off lock up, if only the weather would behave so we could have it done by Christmas! I'm sure all our fellow builder in NSW share our frustration!!



The remainder of the eaves, cladding and electrical rough-in were all due to occur this week. The plumber is behind schedule already and will install the downpipes and complete his rough-in as soon as he can. The air-con is due to be installed next week.

All we can do is pray for some sunshine. Patience, patience, patience .....
