Getting somewhere at last?






Don't want to sound prematurely optimistic, but it does seem that this week things have been moving forward a bit. The kitchen people haven't finished yet, but will come and do the last few things when the granite guy comes to do the countertops. They said that some of the drawerfronts didn't fit, so have to be made from scratch. My cookbookshelf is also still missing, and some of the drawer handles have to be done. I thought they would be finishing tomorrow but they obviously have to wait for the new doors and drawerfronts. Don't know when they discovered this but the people who spray the panels are very slow. I was hoping that I could pack things back into the kitchen, but that will have to wait a bit longer. The guest suite kitchenette in not that far from finished -- missing drawerfronts, glass in some of the doors and the extraction fan.

The painters have been busy in our room and on the staircase. The first coat of paint is on, so maybe they will finish that tomorrow. Lets hope they don't get distracted by something else. The floor still has to be sanded, so no moving back into our room for now. Would be nice to not have to dress out of a washing basket every day. Strange how you stat appreciating the small things in life -- like wardrobes! :-)

The windshield wall by the studio doors has been built and most of the one wall out to where the driveway gates have to go. One of the painters gave most of the new boundary walls its undercoat.

Buks has been busy tiling in our bathroom. It's looking rather nice so far. Unfortunately, we've now run out of the border tiles. We were planning at some stage to tile the shower differently, so I didn't measure in there for the border. Damn. Will have to get those sent up quickly before Buks goes off in a huff.
