Driveway, Roller door, Inspection

We learnt something from our SS yesterday. It is possible to shut the garage door even without power so we took a photo for you. This photo also shows the mud which we are trying to replace with a concrete driveway. We had 3 concreters organised to do quotes today. The first guy turned up late but he did ring, the second guy was so late we could only talk to him for 5 mintues and one didn't show at all. We had a different one ring before lunch to arrange a time and he showed up, just a few minutes late. So now we have 2 written quotes and 2 guys going to ring us on Monday or Tuesday with the quotes. The 2 quotes we have so far are $3,500 different!!!!
Here we have Teagan discussing the sink with our SS. She loves the vegie sprayer tap.
Marita and Mini are checking out the pantry sink. I'm sure we will have to teach Mini not to use the vegie sprayer to "get" people.
A picture of the toilet in the powder room just for you Homeoners! We know how you love pictures :-)
The tiles in the powder room have been cleaned again, they look much nicer now.
There is still an orange tag from the BSS inspector on the laundry wall, SS has advised the painter will be fixing this next week.
This is one squeaky stair! Teagan is whispering into Mike's ear that SS is too heavy for the stairs. Mike is quickly telling her to behave herself.
This is the view out of Teagan's bedroom window (Bed 2). Mike still wants to have a flying fox out the window to the tree!!
I get the feeling Mini is going to be a little Monkey, we will have to teach him/her not to swing on the rails! B&P, this photo is for you, we were surprised that we have different rails to you in the wardrobes.


SS and Mike are discussing a couple of spots in the bathroom, only needed 2 blue dots in here.

Here is Boy Mini checking out the view from his room (Bed 4). The house next door is still being painted so you can just see a pink wall at the moment if you climb up and look out, at least you can see trees and sky normally.
SS is explaining to the whole M&M family that the cabinet doors in the ensuite just need to be adjusted so they line up properly, they are actually the right size.
Mike and SS are having a private word outside...
Looks like there was a slight disagreement...

What would you do to a site supervisor who hadn;t done a brilliant job?!!!
You don't have to worry about the tricks Mini will get up to - there's plenty of cousins and aunts and uncles to teach Mini all those and more.

aahhhaaahha! Again it cracks me up! Mike always looks like he's mumbling under his breath. He did a great job in taking the photo of the powder room ;-) Marita looks like she's ready for another glass of wine, must be the eye lashes.

How do they fix a squeaky stair?

You must be so pleased to see the end result. Your kitchen sink looks so shiny! I'm wondering if it will be Mini you'll need to talk to about not "getting" people with the vegie sprayer or Mike? I think Steve will needs more warnings over that than the kids in this house ;-)

Hope Teagan gets her flying fox!

LOVE IT !!!
Are you sure you want Teagan sneaking out at night on a flying fox ????

Good call H2B - I saw `Mike M' in the powder room photo too !!
And Mike, I don't think you should stand on the balcony like that !! Qantas haven't come with the inflatable slide yet !!???

Is the pantry window a sliding one so we can point the tap out the window at those running past ??

It all looks GREAT !! CC

Not sure how they fix the squeaky stair H2B, SS just promised it would be done.

Another glass of wine?? I would be happy to be able to have one! It feels like a long time since I was allowed to have a drink.

You should have seen the kitchen sink before PD cleaned the house again, it was disgraceful.

I must admit, it was Mike's idea that 2 people could spray each other with the kitchen and pantry taps...

Yes CC, the pantry does have a sliding window so I can spray your kids as they run past :-)

We are still looking for a slide to fit the front balcony, it is a bit high for a standard slide and qantas aren't very cooperative.

That's the best thing I've read for ages. What an absolutely brilliant set of photos (and story to go with it)! Well done. You do know that these SS people read the blogs... I hope he doesn't mind being portrayed as a teddy. Just as well he wasn't portrayed as Humpty Dumpty! Regarding the wardrobe rails, it goes goes to show that all of these houses are the same - but different!

M&M, congratulation, the house looks great, you must be chuffed. Love the photo's of the kids checking out their new pad.

LOL!!! Spraying each other with the taps and hanging off the wardrobe rails - you are SO having a boy mini!!!
Your house looks sensational- can't wait to see the final, final pics!

Well done guys, another entertaining read ;-) Whose blog are we going to read after the house is built to get out dose of humour?!!
Good luck with the PCI - hope it all goes well.
