Hi everyone who is following our blog. We have been blessed with great weather, of course we are in Marlborough!

Things are moving at a great pace, when we visited last weekend we found at least half the bats in but still some windows missing. All windows were in by Thursday.

By today we have all bats, first fix wiring & plumbing plus more than half the gib in place.

Only kitchen dining area & garage still to be gibbed.

The drain layer had arrived & dug drains all around so access was a bit tricky & chippies had left him to it. We're told drains will be inspected Monday & then back filled & they'll be all done by Monday afternoon.

We're really impressed with the speed & workmanship of all the team, fantastic.

Let's see what's happened by next Thursday. We're going to Wellington Friday for a long weekend to catch up with Claire & Lauren, be back Monday 7th.

Drains & pipes  in for water & sewerage 28th March

 

 Wow! When we called in this morning about 10am there were just stacks of bricks & two brickies
setting up the string lines. We went back at 2.30pm & jumped for joy to see lots of bricks up on the east side wall. I reckon by the time they knocked off this wall could be almost finished. Exciting stuff!

As for us we're helping with some jobs around here & keeping up with the boys activities. Both now working with very early starts.
The windows all went in yesterday & the back door & sliders in the lounge as well.
More posts as more happens, watch this space & take care.

Hi Everyone

While we've been entertaining the UK cousins things are moving along. Still not quick enough for me!

Roger & Anne are here from UK they arrived on the 20th & we met them in Christchurch before they set off on their South Island trip. They arrived in Blenheim in our nasty inclement unseasonable weather Wednesday 5th & we spent Thursday in lovely sunshine showing them a bit of Marlborough & tasting more wonderful Marlborough wines.

On Friday we took them for their overseas cruise to Wellington, would have been a lovely trip.

Claire met them & they have the next couple of days in Wellington before heading off to Auckland to meet more family & cousins before they leave.

Now we'll go back to house watching & hopefully by next weekend we could look more like a house........from the outside anyway.

Take care all
