Getting There.......!!

Now that we are getting closer to the contractual end date of the build, the rate seems to have speeded up a bit. The front render and the door have been painted and we can really see what the house will look like when it's finished. (It was very hard to visualise what it would look like when we chose our colours for the house.... but we think the final product looks okay.)

The tilers have been in the house as well and have started the tiling but there is still about another half to do. The roof lining in the alfresco and porch have been painted. The glass splashback and sink in the kitchen have been installed too. Dave has noticed a few things he isn't happy with so we are going to have to snag them with our site manager to get them rectified and hopefully they won't take too long to fix.

We spent some time in the house about a week ago while we had a man around to measure for curtains and it really felt like home for the first time (even though it's still a building site).The children played out in the back garden with the bits of plasterboard and didn't want to leave when it was time to go. We're now busy getting quotes for fences and a concrete drive. However, we are really undecided about what to do for the driveway. Should we go for stencilling (which looks like fake paving but is quite convincing) or go for exposed stone which has a rough texture and is plain with various colours... answers all on a post card please....?
