The Calm Before The Storm

Well its going to be another slow week of not much which after having so much excitement with everything moving along so quickly it has all started to come to a grinding halt. Since the rain we have not gained any momentum infact it is now stopped, well until end of next week anyway. This probably isn't a bad thing as it has allowed us some time to organise a few things with the electrician and some internals. We have started to get pricing on our fencing materials so we can get started on that in the next weeks so the dogs can come and visit soon! We are looking at doing something similiar to this:

Roof Tiles Bring A Little Ray Of Sunshine

After another week of bad weather we got one days worth of work done on the house. The roofers worked on Saturday to our surprise and delight. We are really happy with our selection of roof tile - Boral Linea Charcoal Grey and guttering it is actually looking even better then we thought.

Goodbye El Nino Hello La Nina

It looks like El Nino is gone as we have had more rain, Its been raining plenty since we started building, so hello La Nina. It is forecast to stop raining on the weekend so I'm not sure if any work will be done this week. Hopefully the new tradies (apprentices) have been taught to put away money for a rainy day by the older tradies!

We are in the middle of that rain cell!
