Anyway, now that I'm back, I thought I'd share some excellent news first regarding the pregnancy - our baby is A-OK despite my severe bout of chicken pox and other complications earlier on the pregnancy! The doctor has another great news for us, our dream of having a boy this time is finally coming true! Alana is so excited to meet her baby brother!! :) Yep we are having a healthy baby boy!!! :) Thank God!! :)
OK, so going back to the build. We're quite surprised to see the carpenter working until christmas eve, went inside the house and saw him working on the cornice. Straight after boxing day, we thought we'd drive pass the site just to look at the house (hehehhe - obsess much?) and to our surprise we saw the hard working carpenter again doing his bit! We're so impressed, he continued working until 30 of December!
I'm not sure after that though cause we haven't got the chance to visit the site during business hours as husband and I have been both busy with work. I'm only guessing that they still do cause I saw the pile of cement in front of our house changing constantly (we still do our after drive :) ). Another reason for thinking that is the email I received from Abbey Shutters and Blinds (this is the company that Home Options Gallery referred to us during the selection - we've decided to go ahead with them because we want to have our blinds installed prior to settlement. We've got massive wall glasses on our facade so we thought it'd be more appropriate to have it installed prior to us moving for privacy reasons) that they are now able to perform a check measure on our home for window coverings!! :) According to the lovely lady at Abbey our SS informed her that!! :)
So far so happy with EB's performance!! I just hope they'll continue on with that pace! :)
What a great news! We are so happy to read you and your baby are all ok.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you guys will be almost finished with the house when we will start ;-) We are still waiting for the construction certificate and final drawings...
Wow everything is looking great Olga!! Glad to hear a healthy baby boy is on the way :)
