92% complete...

we are really getting down to the wire which will really tests this fixer's ability to come up with new topics for the blog.. pat, our builder, commented yesterday that he would be complete in two weeks if there were'nt so many hoops to jump through at this stage of the game... by the end of next week the plumber and electrician should be wrapped up. we then apply to energex to do a final connect from the on site electrical box to the house.. this will take approx ten days from application-- then we apply to the Eco Village Design Panel for final appoval in meeting all the sustainability requirements-- then we take this ticket and get the surveyor out for final council approval-- then we get this ticket and attach it to our final invoice from pat which we need to get through the bank which will take another 5-7 days... so you can see how two weeks will be more like four....

The daybed is finally in completing our indoor/outdoor deck. Originally it was supposed to be a dayseat being only 200 ml wide but we managed to change this to 400 ml making it the perfect place to enjoy a cup of tea and the courier mail on a sundee morn..

you might be able to get a hint of the colour in the above shot. porters doe skin. the gyprock under the window to the right of the pic needs to be painted doe skin as well. the awning also needs to be fitted out.

the bow deck is coming along off the kitchen is coming along quite nicely. they will wire it up this week completing this area of the house. I had to chuckle as the heavens had opened on this day and I smiled at the thoughtof our tanks filling up now that the downpipes had finally been connected. Little did I know that the plumber had yet to put a bottom bung in the tanks ( as well as a few final connection pieces) so it was all in vain...
by the end of next week with the interior complete, the house will be handed over to the flooring dudes for a final sanding and polishing. after that she is all done barring a few final bits and pieces....
