Woohoo! Kitchen is on the way (we had to confirm everything a week or two ago so they could order it ASAP) and the tiling shouldn't be too far from starting either. We have had holdups because of rain over the last month, but no hold ups from any of the builders or tradies, they get stuck in everytime there is a break in the weather. No delays on anything so far. It is looking like a house now! Love it. Check out my blog for all the piccies, i don't like the hastle of putting them on here.

WE got our slab yesterday and the frames were delivered this morning-this afternoon the frame guys were out there getting organised-they won't be able to do anything today as the slab is still green after the rain yesterday! 6 weeks of nothing and now we can'thold them back!
