Absolutely no action today. With only 3 1/2 weeks until Christmas shutdown, just seems too much to get done, especially when there is a day of nothing happening. It should be all hands on deck if we have any chance. Hubby is giving me the sh*ts with all his negativity, getting me down. Our dog is having his second sleep over tonight in doggy hospital with pancreatitis. I am bipolar and on a low as it is, and then hubby is carrying on like a pork chop, the house is looking so far away, and the vet bill is gonna hurt. Hubby won't even let me buy presents for the kids for Christmas, he said they get one each, that's it. I just want to sit in a corner and cry. I'm over living in the shed, i'm over my hubby being a d*ck and saying he wants to sell this house already because it's too much work, and i'm over feeling like this. He has always been mr negative, but it's getting beyond a joke. I am seriously considering packing up the kids and going to stay at my sister's until he gets his sh*t together. Only 2 days ago he said he loves living out here, then this morning it's just too much work and he wants to sell it and move back into town. I had a go at him and said i'm the bipolar one, not him.

I suffer from bipolar and depression, so totally get where you are coming from... it's especially hard to not drown in negativity when you have a partner who is negative. Building is really stressful - definitely not the fun process I envisaged (and we haven't even started our actual build yet!) Hopefully your tradies will be back tomorrow and you will have a better day. - B A vue of the pines on the Gold Coast forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=87210 Re: Katrina's 2nd home build - Gympie 212Nov 28, 2017 9:09 pm H Family KatrinaH I am feeling overwhelmingly sad today.

The tiler is supposed to start in the next couple of days is all I got out of them this morning. They were supposed to call me back this arv to confirm things further, but I didn't hear back from them, and I feel like a pain in the a*se ringing them all the time. Apparently now they don't even know when the kitchen will get done, the kitchen company is falling further behind. I have heard that the owner is having health issues, and that's awful, I don't lack empathy, but if they're not coping with the workload, perhaps they should consider hiring someone to help them. I know living in a shed is nothing in comparison to having a life threatening illness, but our normally very happy marriage is really suffering. I am really not enjoying this build at all. Not even excited to see the things that do happen anymore. I don't even seem to care what things look like or the quality of the build, I would accept anything that closely resembles a house right now. Poor thing. It really is a stressful time. I totally understand how you feel regarding bothering trades and the builders. We seem to have had a similar experience too. I just remind myself that its the most expensive purchase I will ever make and its MY MONEY. So, if I want to call or email, I have the right to. I went through the exact same feelings as you, hopefully as soon as you get some progress it gets you motivated again. I would much rather a good quality house that takes a year to build then a crappy house that takes 6 months. Re: Katrina's 2nd home build - Gympie 215Nov 29, 2017 6:08 am Thought I should try get excited about it again, so posting some pics of the interior painting all done. I do really love the colours.

I really like it. It's hard to get a good photo on my stupid cheap phone, it's not as dark as it looks in some of the pics. The lighter photos are more true to colour.

Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense.
