Good on your DH for doing the concreting! We will probably do all ours after handover too. What you have planned for your landscaping sounds great. The Orange jasmine has a really distinct fragrance, very summery!
I hear you with the nudie runs! When we moved into town it took me. a while to get used to not walking to the clothes line in a towel or bra and undies to get clean clothes! It's nice to have screening from your neighbours. Your yard will be a lovely private retreat, but still plenty of light into all your nice big windows. Hope you're getting somewhere with that packing
