DAY 28 - Gutters & facia, at last!

It was Wednesday, 12th September when I began this post :)

I dropped by after school drop off hoping to see someone there working, but driving into the estate telling myself it was ok if noone was there... you hope each day brings you closer to moving in.

To my surprise, no gutter people, but a roofing man instead.  He thought the gutters would be partly done.  When I came back after lunch, no roofing man but two busy men putting up facia and gutters!  Yay!

The upper roof will now start tomorrow and it takes them about 2 days.  Not sure if that will push back the solar power & hot water panels being installed Friday.

Our poor neighbours are praying for rain as their tanks are running dry, and we're praying for no rain until we're at lock up.  She said one of our prayers will be answered, and so far it's ours.  28 days and only a light shower.  Once we're water tight and have our downpipes connected to the tanks - bring on the rain!

I also met with the aircon man today to check out the roof trusses and floor joints for the aircon ducting and outlet placement.  The house has several voids for the aircon duct to go between upstairs & downstairs, but some turkey put noggins over the voids which will make it a little tricky for access.  I guess they will figure that out...


170 days (just over 100 until Christmas... but who's counting?)
