Thank you

Lol I was going to post some pics of the glories of moving

everything is still in boxes everywhere as we couldn't fully move in on the weekend until we had the cheque to get the keys. It's been crazy since Monday

and not to mention having to clean our rental

doing that today....

Yup I feel you! I'm moving this weekend as our lease is up and the house isn't ready yet... so off to the in-laws.

Best of luck with the move and the clean, its the worst haha!

Oh I feel for you... that means you have to move twice

we almost had to do the same thing. If our SS hadn't of allowed us access we would of had to move to my parents till hubby got back in 2 weeks...

Good luck with your move!

That was nice of your SS! Yes we have to move twice but we have put absolutely everything into storage and are just taking clothes etc to the in laws - so shouldn't be too bad!

Hey Ruraldoc!
Apologies for the late reply, I had a week off to move the rest of our "stuff" in the house & I spent more time at the rental trying to clean it

super glad that's all done now!
Massive tip run today with junk that we haven't used in forever.
House is mostly set up now

hubby has just started 2 weeks holidays so he's doing our extra lights and hoping to start the fence but we will see how that goes

Finally got my car in the garage yesterday so I'm super happy about that!
Just about to head over and see what you guys are up to

No worries! Enjoy your move in! Sounds like it is at least!

Will look forward to post move house pics if possible... 😎

We are getting super impatient now. So close yet so far!

Congrats again! 😃

Still sorting through boxes! It's amazing how much you find out you have when you move!
Just a few more random pics

So awesome!! We saw those panel glides and almost fell in love with them. Until we worked out the price of them....

Your house is looking so great! Can't wait till we can furnish ours...

Where did you get that modular couch?? - looks like something we have seen too...

Also, random hole in your bathroom drain? am i seeing things?

Lol you're not seeing things

we have a cover over it now but only because I told them to make sure they bring one! Who would miss something like that?

Yes the panel glides aren't cheap

but so worth it!

The couch is from Harvey Norman, it's called the Frankie

I saw it originally on Charlibear's thread

Agree, so worth it! Still pondering putting it in our house somehow... probably for our giant alfresco sliders... which would make it super dear!! 8-}

Hole in the ground would definitely be a nasty safety hazard...

bribiebell · Sep 08, 2017 6:27 am

Looking great Fleabee! Love those panel glides!

You must be delighted that it's all come together so well - aside from a small issue with drain cover! :-P

We only have them on our alfresco doors

Also extremely lucky that hubby's cousin did them at cost price for us. Although I would hate to see what they actually charge for them

they still cost us over $1000

Thanks Joggles

So happy that our choices ended up being ok

I guess it's one of those I wish they did display homes so we could see the different colours! But alas I don't think they ever will... how did you find doing your colours?
