  • Moved in Early September
  • Aggregated Pebble Driveway went down just before we moved in, took 6 weeks for the sealant to be finished.
  • Justine has assembled a heap of furniture and for the most part is fully furnished (needs a second plasma for the lounge, a third for the bedroom :) ).
  • Justine’s Dad and I have been doing a lot of work in the back yard (well, John has done the majority of it)
  • Fence finally went in a few weeks ago
  • Phone line was installed today, internet coming this week

Short-term To Do List:

  • Back yard garden & landscaping
  • Front Yard Landscaping
  • Front Yard Garden lights
  • Minor furnishings
  • Organise a brickie & plumber to do the outdoor BBQ
  • Throw a house warming

Anticipated short-term expenses in the order of $5,000-$7,000 :(

More pictures will be posted when the house is looking a little closer to a finished product.
