Garage Doors In!!!

Garage door tick.

OMG I can't believe I can be so excited about a garage door - very happy with the colour choice in Dune with Ranch design; I think it blends well with the bricks and complements the brick piers in Greenstead


House painted tick, have not been inside to see - here is my front door


Combo of colours - Woodland Grey, Dune, Greenstead, Pearl White & Crisp White

Side Pergola tick - this was erected yesterday
Sky Light tick - this was done on Monday - not sure about my roof tiles if you take a closer look, will definitely need to ask my SS about this


Our house so far, seems like we are very close to the finish line. Must go and keep packing now.
No activity at the house today.

The Move

Today was a good day, it's good to know there are still kind people out there.

We have been looking for sometime now for a rental property as I mentioned before our rental property sold and in this tough rental market it has been very tough indeed competing with people who are putting in 12mth leases on their application to our 3-6mth application no matter how great our references maybe.

Today we have been accepted - HOORAY and to top it off we are very close to our new house we do not need a removalist when we make the next move totally unbelievable (there is a god). The house is sooo close I could put a web cam on my blog of the site, should I? or shouldn't I?...just kidding EB. lol.

Just a great relief today...I just want to sign that lease now, it's too good to be true. So signing tomorrow I hope.

If there is one thing that I'm positive will happen once we sign the new lease EB will give us a date for a walk through, it's bound to happen right?? Whatever, I just need to get through one day at a time.

I think the painters are still working on the house...the wall colour doesn't seem to be what I thought it would be from the sample pot I got??? I'm hoping that what I saw on the garage wall was only undercoat, it looked very gray for Pearl White...

Just read Sharnel's blog " My Life - My Loves"

I love this quote:

"Your toddler will do what they need to do, and not necessarily what you say. If you're patient, then they will be patient. If you speak gently, then they will be gentle. Whatever you want them to be, you have to start becoming."

Found via Stephmodo. Quote by Helen Hunt.

Went by the house this morning, and there's lots of cuttings happening in the garage must be for the sky light in the bathroom.The painters are there too.

I thought I'd change the colour of my blog to reflect the current state of the house at the moment it's looking - WHITE. WHITE. WHITE.

The painters were hard at work on Sat and the Solar panels were also moved on Sat. They had to change the position of the solar panel as it blocked the space for the sky light in the bathroom. Not sure if the new position helps actually...will see.

Went to Flower Power today, love that place just getting ideas on what to plant and more importantly how much, the landscaping will definitely be something we'll complete next year as much as I'd love to get this done straight away. I think it's something I'll research some more - which means I need more home magazines to look at...all for research I say.

I hope this rain stops this week, there's painting to be done. The lower eaves and cladding have to be painted as well as the internals.
