What If!!!!

Anyone who know's me, know's that I am one to worry about things! Last night I dreamt that the bricks looked hideous and nothing matched,The house was ugly! I was so relieved when I woke up and it was just a dream! But doubt is starting to creep in, panic has started, I am doing it to myself...I must Stop. The What if's have started....... IS this Normal? Do other people do this? We are hiring our own guy to put in solid timber floors (this must be done at some point during the build) what if the 2 weeks they allocate for this doesn't coincide with my floor guy? What if the colours we have chosen do look ridiculous, what if what if! I have accepted that there is no way that we will be in our new home for christmas but thats ok something to look forward to in the new year. So trying to focus on the positives....an Easter egg hunt in our new home will be fun next year, focusing on where we have our veggie patch and what amazing things we can cook up in our amazing kitchen (food blog to come) regardless of wether the colours match or not! having my own bathroom and walk in wardrobe...ahhh feeling better already! 

Stay positive, is all I need to say to myself....Thanks for the vent!

This is the chair I am going to buy for myself once we move in...I love it!

All Gone

Demolisher's finally finished on Tuesday! 3 weeks it took....Not happy Jan! 

We were told a week, admittedly they started on the Monday looks like they did some stuff on the Tuesday and then it rained for the rest of the week, Monday was a public holiday and Tuesday and Wednesday it rained the following week...come Thursday and Friday no sign of any work it was cold and a little overcast but it was not raining! Its Monday again and still no one on site (I have to go past our block twice a day to drop off and pick up my son from school, also my husband goes past on his way home from work around lunch time, we got constant surveillance on that place lol). Tuesday Nothing as well, we made a phone call after that (we are incredibly patient people, but enough is enough!) Wednesday, Thursday and Friday they were there but alias they didn't get to finish the job. I am sure they started at 8 and finished at 3! Monday AGAIN!!! No one to be seen another phone call, the job got finished the next day....Looks like they did a good job however there still seems to be a few roots in the ground at the front and side of the block, I hope that won't matter? Would I recommend these guys ABSOLUTELY NOT, and the reason being not entirely based on it taking so long, but for not having the decency to keep us informed about what they were up to!

On a Happy Note our site supervisor has our file and is organising site cut....YIPPPEEEEE!

The walls came tumbling down

Well after months of getting things sorted, we are finally getting things started. All our trees were removed last weekend and the demolition team turned up on monday. Unfortunately bad weather meant that no work was done on Thursday and Friday, but the forecast for the rest of the week looks good, so hopefully all will be done by the end of the week and ready to start construction.

Day 2 of demolition

I thought that maybe seeing the house being pulled to pieces would upset me, seeing we raised our babies here...However I am so glad to see the mould ridden, freezing cold/stinking hot cramped house go.
