Over the last few days plenty has been going on. We still have renderer's finishing up out the back of the house and should have the front of the house finished this coming week.
The painter has started and the tiler is well under way. The front door went in. Timber ceilings have begun.
I have found things i would never do again and it is way to late to change them but big lessons learnt in regards to a few things. I will go into more detail as i get to them.

The tiler is working his butt off this week to complete all the tiling which is wonderful. The carpet man came and measured up. Our builder Steve is doing his best to get us in on time. Having spent some time on the block i can see how frustrating it can be for a builder when you rely on tradies to turn up on the correct day, then they don't and then to make sure their job done is correct. Things turn up on site wrong and have to be taken away. Which can take days before it is back on site. etc.....
No-wonder a man drinks! lol
I have been extremely happy with our builder and we couldn't of picked a better man for the job. He has put up with me & my indecision's and phone calls every day to him sometimes 3 or 4 times a day.
I am sure he will be happy to finally hand the house over to us.

This Sunday (Fathers day) our son Jack will be playing in his first competition rugby league Grandfinal.
Last night the footy club held a grandfinal dinner for all 7 Burleigh teams that made it through.
Some mum's and i made a banner for the boys to run through on grandfinal day while the boys had their last training run.
Nate Myles from the Gold Coast Titans came and presented the teams with their jerseys along with a local junior Jamie Dowling who is now contracted to the Titans as well. They then listened to a video from Wayne Bennett.
I don't know who is more nervous Jack or ME!

| Narelle, Jo and Ronda following my instructions of course. hehe |
 |
| The dads all watching the last training session |
 |
| Let's hope they actually can break through it and not bounce off it. |
 |
| Pasta & garlic bread |
 |
| A great bunch of boys who have become great mates. |
The boys have been undefeated this year & also won the Presidents Cup this season.
Goodluck to the boys and let's bring home the trophy!
One proud mum either way.

Hi Pen! WOW the house it coming along... love those timber ceilings! As a builder's wife, it is really nice to hear that you empathise with the frustrations and difficulties that builders have in doing their job. A good understanding relationship between client and builder makes the work so much more pleasureable. Don't stress too much over the 'in hindsight' items. When it's all done and dusted you will be the only one who critically notices and even the best trained architects / designers have those moments too! I can see why you're so proud of your son; good luck to him and his team! x KL
