CHRISTMAS MIGHT BE A GOER AFTER ALL!!!!

Just a boring update without any pics. Looks like we should be in before Xmas after all. Had a site meeting on Friday. The house is almost finished. Just needed the final touches to the painting, door handles put on, front doors stained, stove put in and hooked up, dish washer installed, driveway paved, walls patched up, paint man hole cover, fix up laundry where they layed the wrong tiles (NOB HEADS!!!), finish the wiring, pave the alfresco, clean the eave paint off the brickwork, remove all the shit from the front yard and clean the inside of the house.

Man.........that sounds like a real Christmas list hey. Here's hoping.

Oh and it's offical........straight from the horses mouth......we are 74 working days behind schedule. That equates to 14 weeks. So our move in date should have been around the 12th August.
According to the bulider there is only 1 home that is slower than us. They are 98 days behind. Nice to know we aren't last but ya gotta feel for them.

Oh and I think I forgot to mention that when they delivered all the doors including the feature ones the house wasn't at lock-up. So.....that night the door fairies flew on over and took ALL OUR DOORS. I mean how stupid do you have to be??? Delivering stuff of value before the place is locked up and secured.

Frustrated doesn't even touch the surface.
