Catching Up....

Am about a week behind in the blog, so I will do one blog today catching up on the last week.

Most of the time has been spent unpacking....now at least it has been a lazy unpack not the frenzy of the first few days.

Tony has been busy putting up the lights in the rooms that require them, all that is left are the Grosvenors in the Master, lounge and hallway, but they can't be done until Beacon sort out the colour fiasco.....when i first saw the  light at the begining of last year they had pale pink shades, and rustic look crackle, in April (09) when i ordered them they had changed to white shades and a cream coloured crackle....not as nice as the original colours but still nice, so we put them on layby, we ordered them in June this year....after Beacon checked that we could still get everything that i wanted....most of the Grosvenors came in in the white colours but we had a delay on two of them which, when they finally came in had a coffee coloured crackle.....much prefer the coffee.....now they are trying to see if anything else comes in the coffee colour, trouble is that the two with the coffee colour go into rooms where there will also be white crackle, so at this stage it is a waiting game, should hear back tomorrow (friday) as the manager will be back on duty and she had a meeting on Tuesday to try and sort it out.

Still haven't got the wardrobe inserts in yet, this time it is my fault....i measured on numerous occasions to get the sizing of the robes, and still got it wrong.....so now we have to cut a small piece off the ends to make them fit....also ordered a wrong section for Kellys robe, ordered shelves instead of a full hanging arrrrgggghhhh.

Warren and Jeanette came over during the week, so Warren helped Tony put his back speakers up in the rumpus room while Jeanette and I put together the two desks and returns in the study.

Finally finished unpacking the kitchen so i now have bench space and....spare cupboards...how long will that last...not long i'm guessing.
Family room is also finished....
Dining room is nearly done, just got a few items sitting on the buffet looking for a place to live.
Rumpus is finished
Study only needs to have some shelving put up and then its finished.

Kellys new bedroom suite and mattress are now here, so she is putting her room together, would help if she had a wardrobe....we are actually waiting for the plasterers to turn up today to sand the internal part of the robes in Kells and the craft room....they made a huge mess of the internal walls when they pulled out the shelving and hanging rods.

Our bedroom is upside down...most of it is clothing still in boxes, again waiting for the wardrobe to be finished.

Pantry is next to be done.....there are only a few boxes in there to be unpacked then i can organise the shelving.

Craft room is being used as a storage room at the moment.....not going to umpack the majority of the boxes unitl after Adee and Ash move into their new home, so it will probably go live in the garage while they are here.

All the rooms still have pics etc to go onto the walls, but we will do that when everything is in order.

Ordered a skip for today, just waiting for it to arrive so we can clear out the alfresco.

Our driveway should be dug out ready for pouring next week...progress, this means that the spa slab will also be poured.

Still waiting for the fencing guy to come back and do the long side fence, then we can let the dog out into the back yard instead of keeping her inside 24/7.

Austar came out on Friday and installed our unit, so we can finally watch TV again....yay!!
