Merry Christmas ... is the house wrapped and ready?

So the year slowly comes to a close, but is the house coming any nearer to
completion. Progress made, but slow going with some very wet weather.

We had hoped that the house would be a sealed unit before the builders down
tools for the festive season. Sadly things have been going a bit slow after
some very wet weather earlier in the month. Outside and inside has been
plastered now, the windows and sliding doors are all in, so good news there.
The kitchen was meant to have been fitted in December but as the house is
not 100% sealed due to lack of doors this has not yet been done. It is
looking good though and with the builders due to re commence work a week
earlier than scheduled in January things might just get back on track as
they get on with some painting, doors fitted, and kitchen in.

We have got some slight concerns with a couple of things we have noticed
from the pictures we have been sent, but hopefully we can resolve those when
we head down there in the new year. Our collection of bits purchased has
increased with a basin mixer and shower mixer (many thanks to Michael!) to
go with the kitchen sink and mixer we had already acquired. Must remember to
pack it all in Mufasa when we head down!!

I have put up some of the latest pictures (see the link on the right) and
will add more as soon as possible in January. Other than checking on the
build progress we need to get the grass cut before we have our very own
safari park!!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2011!!!
