30/3/2009 -

I am really tired but nowhere near as stressed as I have been.  I am even allowing myself a touch of excitement.  The house is looking magnificent.  The floorboards had their last coat of polish this morning.  Wow, they are spectacular.  

We were there last ngiht with the kids and my brother visiting from Perth and daughters boyfriend.  They were stunned by the lights...those beautiful Mooi Random lights.   They are such a feature hanging from that huge void in different lengths in a cluster of 3.  They look like they are floating.  Prospective son in law told me they are great...impressive. 

Hubby did the huge undercover patio area on the weekend in polished concrete.  Even that makes the place less of a construction site and more of a house.

The pool tiles arrived early this afternoon tho we cant start the pool yet until the glass gates are in  cos we cant fill the pool unitl they are ( it will crack if water is not in soon after tiling) and even tho it is an indoor pool because we have bifold doors opening from the pool room on one side technically it is an outdoor pool as well and so we need the gates as well.  Oh, there is always something....but I am feeling hopeful instead of overwhelmed.  Finally....gosh it has been such a long time....but it is nearly over.  Praise be to God!

Afternoon,
we are building a house. It is far more hectic than I thought. Hubby has been building houses for others for 30 years. Then we decided to do one of our own. He became sick and it has taken 3 years.
NOOOOO!
Your floors sound perfect.

Hi there,

Oh boy..I wish you luck. The stress is unbearable at time!

Likewise when you build for others or even as a spec there is not quite the same of "angst' ultimately the design and selection choices you don't have to make...it is sooooo much easier.

best wishes with the project!
