The Big Tick (sister)

My sister an brother-in law arrived on one of their flying visits, said I was very clever and the barn was huuuuge and looks good, she's an interior designer in Perth, so lots of discussion over colour schemes, all sounded a bit expensive.

Had a lovely dinner and as usual politics reared its ugly head - the US elections

She's a part time Democrat - and thought that Obama would get the vote to run, my premise was that Hillary Clinton should get the nod, I felt she had a better chance of winning against the Republicans as there would be enough Americans who would feel that the name Obama was too close to Osama and was probably a distant relation, and wouldn't vote.

Enough...

The carpet is now down upstairs and looks great, I'm currently putting the tiles in the bathroom only a few more to stick up grout and it's all finish in there.

Oh, The Pressure


Now the pressure is really on, we need somewhere to live.

A week of very long days and late nights we now have the upstairs (bedroom & en suite) ready for the carpet to arrive.
The plumber has completed his work so we can now flush...
All we need now is the electrician to liven-up the temporary power we have for the upstairs.
So it's all on track for the big move on or before the handover of our current house to the new owners - it will be a bit sad leaving as it (the house) has been a great place to live and entertain, I hope the new owners will feel the same.
