I had to wear my wellies to get in the house as the front is just a muddy mess!! It doesn't look that bad in the pics but in front of the porch it is impossible to walk there. Hopefully with the drier weather this week it should start to dry out.

David and I are going away for 3 1/2 weeks in October and we have been joking that when we get back at the end of October he will have moved out into his house by then My son and his fiance's build viewtopic.php?f=31&t=66084 24/7 Slabbed 30/7 Framed 05/8 Gutters 08/8 Roof & windows 31/8 gyprock,bricks,cornice 3/9 Lock up 8/11 In Re: Hickinbotham build progress so far 95Aug 25, 2013 3:21 pm Looks fabulous, Joane, and amazingly fast! I agree, some screening plants along the fence will look beautiful from the dining and family rooms. Will be awesome to move as soon as you get back from holiday. Re: Hickinbotham build progress so far 96Aug 25, 2013 3:29 pm Thanks Lucinda. It would be nice for them to be able to move whilst we are on holidays but they will need our help more than likely once they can move in. So in a way we hope they will be a little bit longer than that.
