It's so close ... but so far

Folks we are still here, the action is just so fragmented at present due to the weather and trying to get the tradesman on site. The weather is not helping as work backs up so tradesman have to put the queue back and the amount of work is small in some aspects so Wayne and Phil haven't been spending a full day on site. 

Anyway, we've seen a further clean up of the site, equipment and material remove. Windows have been cleaned and Wayne spent hours cleaning the tiles on the alfresco area. On Friday, the railings for the veranda and entrance steps arrived.

To try and get everything finished before Christmas, the rendered was to come Sunday so if weather held, paint Wednesday. He came today, Monday which is not good for the program however it has made a difference, though I understand the front still has a little bit of work to go to finish. At the same time, Phil built the privacy screens at the entrance.
This is looking across the lobby out the front door.
Looking up the steps to the screen behind. The new entrance makes such a difference, it feels like you entering the wrong house.  Bit on render to dry on the walls!
Now just to get rid of that garage door. Apparently the new door is coming Wednesday however Wayne did not build me up with confidence when he said that at this time of the year, that doesn't mean anything. MMmm.

Deputy also had the rollers out, painting walls and ceiling in Chief and Deputy's bedroom and under coating the dining room. Makes a difference just a little paint.

Marissa's new bed arrived today and it has been made, mattress coming on Wednesday however she was so keen, bed is made, sleeping on the old mattress. 

What does tomorrow bring? The weather forecast, probably not much. We need the render to dry so it can be painted. The entrance and the alfresco area are to be painted and the stairs stained. The range hood sealed up (yes .....!), big of grout work in the upstairs toilet, closing a gap in the brickwork in the garage and I think it is nearly done. My prediction, we'll be saying Hi to Wayne in the new year!
