It feels as if there's constantly people doing stuff at the house but that nothing is actually happening. Either everyone is really good at looking busy or there's a lot of things happening behind the scenes. I sometimes think that the painters carry out all the furniture from the guest suite and then they go home. If the furniture is standing outside, I naturally assume that they are inside painting, but now I'm not so sure. And then just before home-time, they come back and put all the furniture inside again.
The studio doors are going in, but the glass people haven't been here yet to put all the glass in. Once the doors are done, the tiling can be finished and also the painting and then perhaps we can move some of the furniture from the soon-to-be-demolished kitchen into there. The kitchen has to be stripped early next week so that all the preparation for the new kitchen can be done.
The pool is in, but there's no paving yet, or power to the pump or any kind of heating. The solar power installer-guy was trying to get some panels up onto our funny disjointed roof yesterday, and then (out of frustration?) recommended that we get a heatpump instead. So that's where we're at with that --the solar panels are standing on the balcony and we are waiting for a quote for a heatpump.
One of the Manitoka trees had to be removed to make way for the new boundary wall. They managed to pull the last bit out with the truck, leaving a strange abstract tree sculpture standing next to the public walkway. It wouldn't fit on the truck with all the other stuff, so maybe someone will take it home.
The foundation for the wall were dug yesterday and were poured today. We were at a homeschooling get-together all day so it's a bit difficult to tell exactly what everyone did today. It rained from time to time so I guess that also slowed things down. There's a lot of bits and pieces happening at the same time, so hopefully a lot of things will finish at the same time too. Here's hoping.
