Just a quickie this time, to show off a few photos of the house in its final position now that the lifters have finished.
 |
| This was the letterbox that graced the front of our last house until well after we finished the landscaping. Tom had nikko-penned our last street number on it. When he installed it here, it took a few days to put the new numbers on it, so the poor postman got very confused. |
 |
| Our only access into the house at the moment |
 |
| Tom playing with his new toy, spreading rocks along the driveway so that we can actually use it as something other than a boggy swamp. |
 |
| It's hard to imagine our front yard was ever anything other than mud. I've bought gumboots though, so I'm all set! |

| Allie peeking from behind one of the old concrete posts |

| The underneath of the house |
 |
| Our backyard. Looks like a tornado has hit, doesn't it?! |
Well a lot has certainly happened, but we're nowhere near the finish line yet. I'm extremely keen to get the support posts concreted into the ground, because that is when we'll be allowed to reconnect the electricity and plumbing to the house, which in turn is the time we can move back in again. As grateful as we are that Tom's family have let us stay with them for a while, we miss having our own space!
Nevertheless, I have to keep reminding myself that impatience definitely isn't helpful with this kind of major undertaking. Mistakes get made when you try and rush things, as we've learnt the hard way before! So.... slow and steady we go!
Stay tuned for much much more to come.
And HAPPY CHRISTMAS!
