After a spot of Christmas shopping, I arrived to discover that I’m locked out. Totally. Completely. Out. I’m locked out of my own house! Forlorn & desolate. Nooooooo! *composes self* OK. Well, PD/SS must have dropped by to check out the place & secure it before heading off on holidays. A few more lengths of wood were laying in the kitchen – not sure if they were a new delivery of if they’d migrated from elsewhere on site. Could possibly be for the kitchen bulkhead over my cupboards, or shelving supports, or even for correcting the faults in the frame highlighted in the site inspection.

And, I fear to report that my brand new taps aren’t quite as awesome as first thought. I’ve had a better look at their positioning today, and the fresh water tap is in the way of the cross over. MPC states I need to match my driveway to the width of the cross over – which means the tap will need to be moved, or sit in the driveway concrete. Bah. And there’s also the height of them – the plumber has installed them on top of the pile of dirt dumped on the front of my land, not the actual level of the land. Shit! Another one for the list of corrections required.

Bloody hell! What sort of water bill will I be getting with a reading like that!!!

And this one too! *faints*

This window has an orange sill & the next one has a two tone sill. Yuck! I hope the render covers these good & proper.

Electricity meter door still mangled up, missing support bar & slide guide unhooked.

Why is there so much pipe insulation on the ground? Did the concreters rip it all off my hot water pipes?

Naughty! They forgot to shut the windows & I’m not nearly long & skinny enough to fit through those.

Rear MH neighbour gets boxed up for a bit of alfresco concreting.

Temp fencing feet lay around in the pile of crap out front. Taps in the background! Do they look a bit high from here???

Eastern corner all joined up with plaster, bricks & lintel.

Portico ceiling remains plasterless. Vodka help? ;p

Too short to see in! Or is the ground level too low?

Blurry POV through the glass.

Gap above the entrance doorway – no infill panels, huh? It’s on the list!

Uh-oh. That fresh water tap looks suspiciously on the wrong side of the crossover…

Flappin’ in the wind. That’s a mighty long cord for a tiny light. It is too high up, isn’t it?

LHS FG my PD neighbour’s taps are closer to the true ground level & clear the crossover.
