We have moved in......

The lack of posts lately is because we have been so busy finishing the painting and getting things finished.
The plumber finally came last Thursday and fitted all the taps and toilets. On Sunday we moved in, although we still don't have the electrical completed it is amazing how well you can live with multi-outlet boxes and heaps of extiension cords, a bit like luxury camping. We still go back to the other house for hot showers.
Our focus now is finishing off all the electrical.  The sooner we have power the better. Luke started sorting out the switch board today and I am concentrating on fitting all the remaining lights and power points. It would be great to have the power connected by the weekend but I'm not holding my breath. Meantime June has been making numerous trips back to the old house sorting and shifting all the remaining stuff.
We had the phone and broadband shifted over today, hence this post. We will take some photos and try to give updates more frequently again.

Floor Coverings

All of the floor coverings are now in place and the house is starting to look complete.

The tiles in front of the kitchen units have been installed to capture the

heat from the winter sun to keep us warm.

Painting, painting and more painting

Its been a busy time during the xmas break so far, the lack of posts is because the changes are no longer so dramatic.

Since the last post we have been focussed on painting, we are almost there; only the bathrooms, laundry and toilet to complete.
The target is to have everything finished and ready for the carpet on the 8th.

We have also started fitting a few light fittings, I have connected one toilet and the laundry tub, and we have brought up some basic furniture, so we are pretty comfortable.
