Well, our first night in the house was pretty uneventful. We had a really restless night’s sleep on the air mattress, and got woken up really early by the sun beaming in through the doors in the lounge room.
But it was so nice waking up to all the beautiful animal noises outside.
We found a few little things which we need Luke to fix up. In the main bathroom, only the heat lights were working, not the fan or the regular light. And in the oven, one of the trays has come un-welded so we need a new one. We also found that there was no tap put in place in the kitchen for us to plumb our fridge to once it arrives.
This morning, Lurchy and Lawson came out to visit to talk about our driveway. We’ve got a few ideas now and Lawson’s told us if we budget $1000 for the machinery, and then we’ll get a price for some recycled concrete to put down once the earthworks are done.
After they left, we waited around for Super Amart to arrive with our living and dining furniture (but not our couch). They had a bit of fun getting up our driveway, but they did it and then we spent the rest of the day putting it all together.
HANDY TIP
When putting together your furniture, buy a stack of felt stoppers to put on from the get-go to protect your flooring if you don’t have carpet.
Tonight we’re staying back at Sue and Rick’s and we’ll stay here until Thursday, when Stephen and I have the time off to move everything else over.
