It's been a while - having problems with Blogger again. What a pain in the butt.
Anyhoo - over the last week or so we have again seen some 'bigger' changes to the house - the outside has been painted, and the verandahs are taking shape. The tiling is just about complete inside, as is the painting, so really all is left is for the three bathrooms to be fitted out, kitchen put in, light fittings installed and flooring put in. And we're done. To be honest it has been fairly painless really. You hear horror stories of people building houses, but we haven't faced a major drama yet (well... if you don't include me changing the inside colour of the house from 'off white' to 'whisper white' while the painter was on his way to buy the paint)... but that's it really.
I have to say it has been nice having the house take up a lot of our thoughts and energy over last few months, it's been a great distraction from the adoption. But how will I be when we move in and I can see baby girls room just sitting there - empty? How many months will I have to look at an empty room? It will be the only room in the house to remain unfurnished - well until we know we are only a couple of months away from referral... which is the biggest question of all - when will that bloody happen?
