All moved in!

Well, what a whirlwind week it has been! Has been really busy with moving and then work in between we have not had a chance to blog anything.

Last Thursday I took the day off and painted the girls' feature walls. This was the agreement we made with them. They could have a fan in the rooms, or they could choose their own light and we would paint a feature wall. So here it is! Emily chose purple and Bella chose blue.







And after cutting in, this is the finished product. Still half masked though :)






On Friday we had our new TV installed, so I went and borrowed some foam mattresses from Kel's mum and surprised the girls with our first 'sleepover' at he new house!



We also had a concrete path laid around the back of the house. This will help keep the water away from the slab as it was pooling really badly around there. During the build it was at least 20cm deep! There is a little step down from the alfresco, but this was required to keep it the obligatory 70mm away from the termite barrier.





And of course the new dining room table and chairs! For those that know us, we have been using an old round pub table for many many years! Be gone with you pub table!



And the all important fridge that makes Kel happy :) The fitting for the water point was not correct for what the builder installed, but a quick run to Reece plumbing supplies late afternoon seen the correct fitting installed. We now have plumbed water and ice!





So for me today, I am taking another day off work. I will be going in to council today to submit a modification to our DA to change the retaining walls from timber, to block, and also to extend the front retaining from the patio out to the boundary, and along the front boundary so we can level the front yard a bit more.
