We had a really rainy day on Thursday and were unable to get any landscaping or other outside work done. We've had almost 12 consecutive days of heavy rain and thunderstorms which is not helping us right now. The ground is very soggy and will need to dry out before we can try to get a hydraulic rotary hoe and bobcat on site. It's very easy to get bogged. It's also a race against time because of the approaching Christmas and New Year Holiday Period. It's going to be hard to get the turf, trees, shrubs and top soils etc. delivered before the Christmas shutdown period and we can't get any of that delivered until we've scraped-back the front and back yards and have laid all the necessary top soils.
We've been moving car loads of boxes and cartons into the new home from our current rental home all week.
The Real Estate Agent wants to have an 'open house' for inspections this coming Saturday afternoon so that the landlord can try to get new tenants in the rental place ASAP before Christmas.
We've notified McDonald Jones Homes that we'll be ready to occupy the new home on Wednesday 17 December or Thursday 18 December 2014.
McDonald Jones Homes has confirmed that our SMEG kitchen appliances, hot water system, Crimsafe Screen Doors and fly screens etc. will be installed on Thursday 18 December 2014 (just before the industry-wide Christmas shutdown period).
Pete and I and the kids, Buddy and Taz, are due to vacate our nearby rental home by no later than Friday 19 December 2014.
We're now in our final week before we move into our lovely new home.
We hit the shops today and bought some new mattresses for the beds for the new home. The new mattresses will be delivered to the new home on Saturday 13 December. We also got a great, bold, contemporary-looking floor rug for our Home Theatre Room. Here's a photo of the floor rug.
